Dirrell was fresh and fighting a can. No way does he walk in like that against Froch.
I could put up a video of Brain Magee boxing Froch apart......??? Froch was 2 rounds up going into the 11th on Jim Watts card and he knows a damn sight more about scoring than anyone on this site.

Do it!!! But make sure you leave in the 11th round.
I'm sticking with Dirrell to win, but I ain't very confident in it. His chin is gonna have to hold up because he does get hit. If he can take Froch's shot, I think he'll win.
yes fair play to him getting back up from that knock down, hes got heart! but come on guys lets be real here what world class fighters has dirrell fought to say hes got what it takes to beat froch? froch beat taylor and pascal who is now lightheavy champ...... He's gotta be the fave to win.
Andre Dirrell by decision.

I think it says a lot that he was able to get UP from that punch and win the fight. A lot of guys would have stayed down.
Plus that was 3 years ago.
I'm going with Dirrell in the upset UP win (if the judges are fair, i hope)
I have Dirrell too. Though this is the 3rd time in a row I've picked against The Cobra.
Froch is strong from the first bell to the last. His power / effort does not fade as the clock ticks, if anything he puts the foot down harder.
Froch is much too strong for Dirrell to take on.
Froch will likely start faster than he did against Taylor.
:lol1:
I think you and I discussed this before, and both agreed that because both guys have awful, glaring holes in their game, it's a fairly even fight. :rofl:
Yeah we did i forgot who that was but yeah we were on the same page.
I might bet 20k on Froch then.
And bet whatever I have that Pac VS cOTTO DOES BETTER THAN 800k :) aNY TAKERS?
Id give the edge to Dirrell (60/40) but the thing is both these guys do things that can really frustrate the to the other guy it just depends on who imposes their game plan on who.
We know Froch has the Boxing skill of a 12 year old amateur and the speed of Sam Peter and Dirrell will take advantage of that with his speed and skill but what happens when Dirrell does the amount of backing up he usually does in his fights ? he does that and Froch will be all over his ass. Taylor and Pascal both took Froch to school in centre ring but look what happened when they started backing up, Froch took over and Dirrell does more backing up than both of them imo, although you could argue Pascal does the same amount.
If Dirrell keeps this fight in the centre he wins easy! but i bet you he dont do that.
I watched this fight the other night and Dirrell was doing too much backing up and his footwork looked really sloppy, i hope he does not do that much backing up against Froch because Froch will run right through him otherwise.

Dirrell was 6-0 before this fight, ONLY 6 damn fights. And he took that shot quiet well it would have knocked out most guys, shows he has a good chin. Also he has CHANGED as a fighter now, he is a slick counterpuncher with great handspeed and DEFENSE.
Why dont Froch fans do me a favour by betting on this fight, If you have so much confidence in your boy then minimum bet 50k points, and no maximum bet. I'll bet whatever I have that Dirrell not only wins this fight but makes Froch look clumsy in it.
Go on, take that easy bet if you think Froch is going to win.
How many times have you actually seen Dirrell fight? because he aint as good as you seem to think imo. Ive seen him 6 times i aint that impressed with him, im not impressed with Froch either but you thinking this is some kinda 70/30 fight in Dirrell's favour is ridiculous for a guy who has never even been in a backs to the wall fight before.

Can someone post the link itself? Scriptblocker doesn't show the video, and being hyperlinked, it doens't work for me.

Dirrell won.... on points.
6 rounder against a 7-3 fighter.
Afterwards he was 7-4 and never bothered fighting again, such was his fierce determination ! lol
Sorry Dirrell fans but getting dropped by Jermain Taylor in a world title fight, when your feet are planted together and coming back to win by KO...
...is far more impressive than been put down heavy and then scraping back a points win over a total nobody (not even a journeyman).
I cannot see Dirrell flying to England and beating Froch in Nottingham.
Not a flamin' chance.
