    Bumped, interested to hear more opinions on this.

    I've watched Dirrell's last 4 fights (or at least parts of each one if that's all I could find) and I see Froch being able to land enough that he can get the job done inside the distance.

    Dirrell does have talent and the potential to beat Froch, but at this point he doesn't look like the finished article and seems to make certain mistakes that leave him open. I think this tournament has come a bit too early for him.
    Clegg, Dirrell has more talent than anyone but it's not even his mistakes that will worry him (they all make mistakes) but his chin and his intestinal fortitude. Dirrell obviously has confidence issues. And I'm not sure he handles pressure very well. Personally, I'd be shocked if he got past Froch--I doubt it very much.

          Froch has big balls,but Dirrell is ***in psycho.
          I saw how he fought OGANOV and OGANOV has 100% KO ratio.
          I ll go with Dirrell by UD!

            Froch is a much better fighter than Oganov.

            what if i'll say Froch beat Taylor and Pascal who has been world champs.

            I'll go with Froch by KO.

            except in your case Oganov isnt even close to taylor and pascal.

            i respect you oppinion though, just saying.

              I see Dirrell being stopped in this fight. With his intensity and nervousness that he puts fourth early on, and Froch's late round power and stamina and superior experience, i think will be too much for Dirrell to overcome. He hasn't fought the opposition that Froch has fought, he hasn't fought anyone as big as him and he also hasn't fought any quality punchers. I'm expecting a great start from Dirrell with Froch upping the pressure from the middle rounds on and systematically breaking him down.

                  I think Froch will KO him. Froch is definately not a hype job and he has something very important on the big stage that Dirrell doesn't have... Experience.

                  Froch will be jaded comming into this tournament. Dirrell has already made rookie-on-the-big-stage mistakes in his reason for entering the tournament. Froch will win.


                  Im not just saying this because I betted on Froch either.

                    Nice to see Dirrell finally fight someone over 5'9". That said, he should be able to outbox Froch for a good portion of the fight. If he makes it to the final bell, and that's a huge if, Dirrell should take it.

                      Its either Froch by stoppage or Dirrell by Decision.
