WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch doesn't expect a war on Saturday night. He expects challenger Andre Dirrell to run away and survive like he did in the fight with Curtis Stevens. Froch plans to come forward and take the fight to Dirrell from the opening bell. He doesn't think Dirrell will be able to run for twelve full rounds. Froch plans to punish him once he slows down.

“I think he’s going to run, but it’s difficult to run for 12 rounds,” Froch said. “He’s not going to bring it to me and knock me out, you cannot have fast hands and be powerful. It’s not a worry. I know how to cut off the ring," Froch told The Times Online.

“Whether he runs or he stands and fights, he’s got a mammoth task. He’s a good fighter, but he’s not ready for me.”
