You called it perfect right down to the lack of body shots thrown by AD. Target his body - froch spent some time hammering his mid rift for sure.
Gotta be Froch. Dirrell was looking good against Abraham, but Arthur was doing a better job of coming on at the end of that fight than he was in the Froch fight. At the time of the DQ, it looked like there was a decent chance Dirrell would get caught and Arthur could've won. There was no such drama in the Froch fight.
:goodHe fought the perfect fight. Discipline to the T. He saw everything coming and put in work when nothing was coming, and either dodged it or stopped it with the jab. LOL I just thought about it and Dirrell didn't really lay the blue print. He did put Ideas into it but I feel it was froch who just Laid to blueprint that Any bigger fighter with a Jab should be able to follow. A lot more can follow this realistic blueprint than the specialized countering blueprint Dirrell used. It's either that or Dirrell laid the blueprint but there is a warning on it that says counter at your own discretion. AA is gonna have some hard fights from here on out due to weightdraining at 160 and opponent's size at 168. Not to mention his confidence isn't the same, his aura of invincibility is gone and his team are poor strategist. On another note, I know you are a froch fan so I got to inform you that I got Glen Johnson KOing him in thier next fight LOL :deal
interesting as Chris Eubank is one of my all time favorite fighters... I'm thoroughly opposed to nationalistic support based soley on that reason.. The World is my country son. I honestly just support fighters from anywhere. I just don't like one type of fighter. I have a deep appreciation for all styles.. Now I agree with many on a great many things but the "Dirrell" bit I don't budge on. Sure I'm a fan but mainly because I've followed his entire career, really like his style. I feel that there hasn't been another fighter that has ever boxed before that can do everything Andre Dirrell could do. The man is a seemless tactician that has talent, skill, and ability that cannot be matched in a ring by anyone. I've been following boxing since 1984, boxed as a youth. I grew up on Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, and Mike Tyson. People love to hate on him and I honestly don't know why but Andre Dirrell is/was an extremely rare gift to the sport of boxing and well us fans. What really bothers me is the man was improving at a blinding rate...Dirrell and Froch(said this after the 2nd round) have progressed faster than anyone else in the tourney. So I guess my ***** is abit sore that I never got to see Andre Dirrell live up to his potential as a fighter...He probably will never fight again...thats depressing.. The boxing community, not just myself will suffer because of his absence.....Just imagine the potential matchups. I'm really not hating on Froch. I think Froch is an extremely intelligent fighter. He just isn't as technically sound or as coordinated as most fighters that appeal to me. So not trying to be a troll. Just being honest and real.
