    first let me start by saying i do favor froch in this matchup, just because of his one of a kind grit and determination, but, dirrel does have an excellent skill set. Dirrel hasnt fought the best comp but what do you expect hes had 18 fights, and yes he has struggled a bit against lesser comp, but even some of the atg's have had off nights. I watched the pascol fight nd the one agianst ibromov or whatever his name was, specifically the paschall fight gave me some concerns because if it were not for the bad cut that opened up on his eye it seemed like the tides were turning in that fight, but i think thats m ore of a testament of how underrated paschal is and not how overrated dirrel was. Dirrel is fast both hands and feet, he seems to be in great shape, he can fight southpaw or orthodox, the only knock against him is he doesnt have true one punch ko power and when fighting someone as tough as froch you need that, because if you dont froch will walk through your punches and ware you down, howeever i am expecting aan excellent fight. In losing or in victory i think dirrel will shut a lot of people up and so will forch

    The dude did disrespect Dirrells res a little but he pretty much just put it up on display. Dirrells resume so far pretty much mocks itself. It needs little help from anyone on this site. Think this fight will go to Froch way easier than people are predicting. I got Froch stopping Dirrell in < 10 but I would not be the least surprised if the stoppage came way earlier. Not felt this strongly about a dominating performance by one fighter since Pavlik Hopkins. I reckon Dirrell gets smoked.
