Carl Froch Pours Scorn On The Boasts of Andre Dirrell

Froch is right to a degree, i mean who has Dirrell been in there with? Stevens who is not an established name, and Hanshaw whom i dont rate at all!!!

I thought he looked less than impressive against Pachall, having said that i do think he has a great shot at squeaking by Froch.

When does this tournament start and the talk ends and the action starts?

But a lot of what Froch says is true in a way. But until very recently people were questioning who Froch had fought. Pascal and JT and the JT was too close for comfort.

Froch is very beatable! I like him but a highly-skilled guy will have no problems in beating him.

Froch is exciting though. If he tightens up his defence he may increase his chances of success in this tournament. But, i won't be putting my money on froch to win the tournament, or dirrell for that matter!

Froch has seen it before. He's had the brash, ****y, black, prime North American SMWs talk crap like this already. He UD one and KTFO the other. Go figure.

This is some step-up for Dirrell.

Experience wise, he is at a huge disadvantage. I mean, I've never seen this guy fight, and I can't be the only one.

If he wins the whole thing, then the kid must be something really special. If either of the Americans win it would be a bit of a shock and mean that they are geniune elite-level, potential Pound-for-Pound fighters. They come into this, largely untested.

WBC super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has laughed off claims that he is nervous ahead of his clash with the undefeated Andre Dirrell. Froch and Dirrell meet in Nottingham on October the 17th; it is the first showdown of the Super Six tournament.

I think this can be an hell of a fight. One question though. WHY OCTOBER?! Why do we have to wait so long for any boxing event?? Makes no sense. That said i think Froch takes it by TKO after Dirrell punches himself out in the 10th. Often the case with good but unexperienced fighters is that they can't read the fight well enough and push for a kill when they have someone slightly hurt. In the case of Froch i don't think he's a very good fighter but he has experience and heart on his side.

Highly skilled Jermain Taylor just tried and came up short. If he couldn't beat Froch do you suggest that Direll can?

We'll see what happens come fight night.

I agree with you and think froch will UD of TKO Direll in the late rounds.

JT had froch beat, until his stamina let him down. Still, props to froch for closing the show in style!
