I have no doubt in my mind that Dirrell will take most of the rounds in this fight against Froch, especially 1-6.
But, how is Dirrell going down the strech? Can he keep it up for 12 rounds because Froch will come on strong in the championship rounds. How is his stamina basically.
Also, how is his chin? I just watched Dirrell Vs. Hanshaw and he looked a bit fragile.
Maybe i should save my money for a different fight. William hill has him 11/8 which aren't even great odds. If he was a 2/1 then i think i would go for Dirrell.
He's 14/1 to win the whole thing! Right at the bottom, i'm tempted to have a £10 bet on him just for the hell of it, he looks like he has a better chance than Ward imo.
I haven't seen him fade before so I don't think he will that badly, I mean I'm sure he'll slow down just not as drastically as Taylor did against Froch.
His chin is a little suspect though, I think he's been officially dropped once in his career by a right hand he never saw coming, should've gotten a count against Hanshaw.
Anyways, Dirrell IMO is not only a live underdog to beat Froch but a good bet to win the tournament considering the odds.
froch should beat him
he isnt that hard too hit and doesnt seem interested if he doesnt get a guy out of their in 4 rounds (vs oganov) hanshaw dropped him in the first round and rocha dropped him (too be fair that was a big punch)
he reminds me of a less dangerous SMW version of david haye,sloppy
