No way did Dirrell beat Froch. You don't come to the champ's hometown and sporadically hit and run and expect a decision. Froch came to fight, Dirrell just wanted to potshot quickly and run away, like he was still in the amateurs. It don't work like that in the pro game, you have to put it on the line if you want to be the champ.
Try telling that to george groves!... seriously early rounds dirrel potshotted but latter part of fight he was the agressor NOT FROCH and made froch miss wildly with his snail paced throws... dirrel was battering him from piller to post at the end
Ward can and will hurt Froch. Ward is a flat out bully in the ring.
The best part about this is that we will see, it's not a fairy tale matchup like Khan-Bradley, Pac-Floyd, Bute vs anyone etc...
You can't always count on power to win fights for the most part, you seen Kahns last fight. Everyone thought Khan would be over powered but as the fight went on the power puncher died out and the skillful fighter went on to win. So what I'm saying is Ward doesn't need power to take out Froch, his skills alone will do damage for 12 rounds point blank.
He was a cunt hair from getting overpowered. Not a good example (I'm assuming you're talking about 2 fights ago for Khan cuz that irishman wasn't overpowering a girl scout for some thin mint cookies if he wanted to)

Jim Grey said repeatedly, not consistently and he asked it with that smug little attitude that he always has.
I've heard Froch come across in a classy way many times in interviews. I think Dirrell and Kessler beat him as well, but i don't mind that he doesn't. He thinks he's the best in the world, so freakin what? He's a fighter, not a track athlete or swimmer in timed competitions.
Cocky fighters never rub me the wrong way as long as they get in the ring with the best and don't have a million excuses or reasons why they won't fight the best comp, but STILL proclaim their greatness (ie Floyd Mayweather JR).....
Repeatedly, consistently, same difference. Froch still refuses to adknowledge something as usual.
Thinking someone beat him is fine, thinking they were close fights is fine, talking rubbish for 2 years about how easy his fights have been is annoying as f*ck and just stupid.
Neither do I.
I do, however, when from the very end of the fight all the way to two whole years later in every single apperance he makes on, Fight Camp 360, Prime Time, and now Ringside he is adament he 'dominated' and 'clearly' won the fight.
Jim Grey's an idiot but he asked him a legit question; "Did you expect to get hit with the right hand consistently" And Carl Froch instead of addressing it looks baffled and acts like it didn't happen and says "I think 117 - 113 was a more realistic result" which it actually wasn't, at all.
Shame Carl can have as much time to refelct as he has with Kessler and Dirrell and he still has and still has the same opinion.

I don't mind if a fighter refuses to acknowledge that he lost or his flaws especially directly after a close fight....
And Jim Grey always needs someone to check him, he's annoying. He could have been a little more respectful and just said he hit you a few times with the right, or even more than a few times.
It's not like GJ was landing it every round.
Why do people hold fighters to what they say seconds after they win a prizefight? Then they get challenged by a weasely little announcer and are supposed to be humble and be expected to know exactly how the fight went down...
sometimes when you get hit and it barely affects you, you shake it off like you didn't get hit and it doesn't stay with you as part of your memory of how the fight went down.
Yeah, I thought that.
I mean Johnson was never going to out-jab Froch and his aim was always to get inside a let the bombs fly. He's too good of a fighter not a to land a few. He done it on a Dawson and he was always going to be able to get Froch, too.
He's a bit of an anus that Jim Grey. 'Repeatedly.'
In one word he disrespected two world-class fighters.
He should have seen how long he could have avoided a Glen Johnson right-hand. He needs to show a little more reverence.

The difference is Carl Froch acts like he does in his post fight interviews ALL THE TIME.

All of those things other than the David Beckham things he has said publically.
lol,
In that case I stand corrected.
But a lot of things that have been attributed to Froch did not come from the horses mouth so to speak. A lot of the Calzaghe stuff. He's admitted as much.
saying things and signing the press release are two entirely different things.
All of those things other than the David Beckham things he has said publically.
If Ward wins 9 or 8 of the 12 rounds clearly he will claim he was robbed.
The man honestly believes he deserved the descion against Kessler even though Rob Mcraken told him that he hasn't done enough after the fight.
He actually tries to claim he dominated Dirrell after getting an SD in his hometown of Nottingham.
He looked baffled that Jim Grey said Johnson landed the right hand consistently.
This is the same guy who said he was bigger in the UK than David Beckham before he had even won a World Title.
The guy is such a f*cking moron.

sort of, but I also mean by hitting froch more than froch hits him, from the outside
I think that's what is going to happen.
I think Froch will gut it out and take about 3/4 rounds, by marching forward and roughing him up when the fight it slipping away.
I think Dirrell laid the blue print but he didn't do it in style. He should have been docked points and ultimately thrown out.
By "Dirrell Him", do you mean Ward will flop around like a Catfish for 12 rounds?
sort of, but I also mean by hitting froch more than froch hits him, from the outside
Froch said he was comfortable against johnson..... the arrogant bum..... ward will show him that he isn't as good as he thinks he is
I thought he looked fairly comfortable. Glen wasn't as comfortable as he wanted to be because Froch kept him away with his movement except for a couple rounds. Glen looked very comfy in 7-8, 11
He can be close enough to Dirrell to win. Ward wouldn't be slipping every ten seconds either.
I question all that slipping.
Why does he do it so often?
It's not good. And it wastes time.
Fighters like Ward and Hopkins eat up the clock legitimately by working in clinches. Dirrell seems to eat it up by falling over - repeatedly. It's shady.
