WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch plans to make unbeaten Andre Dirrell pay a big price when they clash on Saturday night in Nottingham. Froch is tired of Dirrell's trash talk and plans to make him suffer in the ring with a slow beating from post to post. He says the Dirrell has never fought anyone of note; giving him no basis to run his big mouth.
“It’s just the usual trash talk,” said Froch to The Daily Express. “But the difference is that, whereas Mikkel Kessler and Arthur Abraham fought some great boxers over the years, who has this pipsqueak swapped punches with? I’m not exactly losing any sleep over Andre Dirrell."
Froch says every single opponent has promised to knock him out and couldn't deliver. He plans to make an example of Dirrell before a sold-out arena of hometown fans.
“Every time I’ve boxed, before every single one of my 25 fights, my opponent has said the same thing, ‘I’m going to knock out Carl Froch and take his head off’. It’s just rubbish and Dirrell will find that out when I start whacking him all around Nottingham Arena. I’m sure that is the reason this fight will be a sell-out and the fact I’m taking on a gobby American who is going to get his boots smoked.”
