    Does he have any chance against Froch? His record looks good, but he's never gone past 10 rounds.

    He has fast hands, and moves a lot. He will circle Froch, and pepper him with jabs while switching back and forth from southpaw to orthodox. He will win the early rounds, but at some poing Dirrel will think he has Froch hurt, and he'll try to finish it. He won't be able to though. He will only punch himself out, and then Froch will go to work. I am going with Froch late t/ko.

    Dirrell has the style of Ali: fast on his feet and dodges punches well.

    Froch has the style of Foreman: hard puncher but a bit slow and clumsy.

    You can guess how this fight will turn out.

    You're making a risky bet. Dirrell has never looked winded in any of his fights. True, he has never fought a 12 rounder, but I'm sure boxers train for more than 12 rounds. Dirrell is too smart to be KO'd by a clumsy freak like Carl Froch.

    Froch's style is more like Foreman with down syndrome.

    Direll is really fast , fluid , good footwork and defence...But sometimes he loses his focus and it could be fatal against a puncher like Froch...But if he execute his gameplan and stay focused he will win an UD or late TKO...

    I completely agree,

    Froch is far too slow of hand and foot to even catch Dirrell Flush let alone KO him

    The only thing Froch will be KO'ing is fresh air when his punches miss the intended target all night long.

    Dirrell will make this fool look slow and clumsy like you pointed out

    Dirrell is the type of guy that can give Froch fits with his movement and handspeed. he fought a guy with almost the same style in Pascal but he liked to engage more than Dirrell does. With that said I fully expect Froch to catch him with something big and finish him off.

    Direll is like a Cory Spinks with much more pop.

    Never looked winded? He has been extremely winded in multiple fights. Against Oganov he punched himself out in the first round and got so tired he only threw ONE PUNCH in the last minute of the round. He spent the whole minute walking back to the ropes then holding. I didn't just come up with this out of thin air. I stick by my prediction.

    This guy is a ****ing idiot and can't be taken serious. I hate his type here and would be better suited for the UFC than the sweet science.
