    Yeah agreed...to many shots like that ain't a good thing at all.

    Yeah i think it was a good thing because people can see what Froch is all about without having to sit there for 2 hours. It will draw in casual fans and as much as we moan about them...we do need them in the sport as they will help line the pockets of these modern day warriors.
     
  3. i'm going for the upset

    i think dirrell will surprise us and win this

    i have a bad feeling for froch
     

  4. good analysis but i disagree i think Dirrell will pull this off

    :good cheers mate

    yeah i can see reason why people like yourself have a feeling for Dirrell....i'm hoping the proper Froch shows up or he will not be leaving the arena with the tiny green strap. Cannot Wait for this :happy

    Dirrell on the seat of his pants early .... look at the guys stance too square on and he cant run for 12 rounds .... after watching Froch against a high quality performer in Pascal hes like spiderman ... his long arms will be connecting with Dirrell far too often for his yankee followings liking ....

    Dirrells in for a world of pain in the early hours of sunday morning , hes out of his depth and way out of his league .... im afraid olympic medals at the amateur game mean nothing when ur in front of 10000 patriotic fans and one of the top SMW pro boxers ! ... Dirrells career will be finished by the time the super 6 is done ....
     
  7. no chance that happens, i see dirrell winning this fight
     
  8. when did Dirrell arrive in the UK?

    Direll wont win this, Froch keeps up tjhe same amount of pressure in rd 12 that he will in rd 1 without losinh a huge amount of power over the distance. Once he evtntually starts landing and that may be rounds 5 onwards, direll will start to fade much like taylor did when he was hit hard

    can't wait

    I've got Froch walking him down late, i can just see the towel coming in after a Froch flurry of unanswered punches in about the 9th or 10th

    Dirrell is what i call a swagger jacker, by that i mean he trys to fight like someone who has phenom athleticism like Roy Jones or Calzaghe who do things only they can get away with, because he hasn't got the attributes to fight like that it means he'll be eating a lot of shots and thats bad news against a grafter like Froch who just keeps coming and won't get discouraged.

    Dirrell also seems to just square up and flail away at his opponents with his chin in the air like a (very) poor man's Calzaghe when he goes on the attack. I just can't see him not being dropped with an uppercut or counter right hand, assuming he's stupid enough to try this tactic.

    Firstly, I'd rather see Froch win because it'd be better for the tournament and boxing. Dirrell seems like a case of believing his own hype and buying into a lot of the American negativity that surrounded Froch's last performance.

    I said ages ago that this fight will come down to the trenches. Which is where Froch will survive and stop this man. The trenches is Froch's home and whilst he may not be as technincally good as Direll this is what will win him the fight. At some point he's gonna close that gap and land the right hand.

    I will also say that if Dirrell gets cocky and starts showboating then Froch will ****ing flatten him and it'll be lights out. The only way that Dirrell wins this is by getting on his bike for 12rds and against Froch he will not be able to do that. All it will take will be one or two sustained burst of combos from the Cobra and that'll be it.

    75% of the participants in this poll think Froch will win via KO?
    compared to 1% for a Dirrell KO?


    I smell alot of bias from our English friends here.
    Dirrell will surprise many come Saturday night.
