Carl Froch Pours Scorn On The Boasts of Andre Dirrell

[lest26]

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

to be fair though Taylor had totaly dominated the entire fight, Froch looked terrible, only his heart and granite chin with a huge slab of luck won him the fight, 15 seconds and it would have been a clear unanimous descision for Taylor, i like Froch and hope he dose well which he can do but he needs to tighten up and box more, he himself is out of his league though, only the two americans have less experience. He will win this but struggle with the rest.

Saying JT is highly skilled is a big jump or you are trying to build up Froch. If JT doesnt run out of steam he beats Froch easily!! Froch is limited; any lateral movement gives him trouble. So yes, Dirrell will beat Froch.

If you have seen it to then it must be a valid criticism. I thought it was just me.

The more i think about it the more i start to favour Froch, but by the same token i wont be surprised to see Carl outboxed and lose a decision, it will prolly come down to whether Dirrell can withstand the late onslaught around about 8th round.

Either Dirrell falls apart late due to a lack of experience or he keeps his head and gets by Froch. How many times can Froch get outboxed and keep coming back to win is what i keep asking myself.

What iv seen of him which aint a great deal i though his defence was poor and foot work scrapy but he is fast moves well enough but gets caught going back when under presure, i dont think he has the power to bother Froch but he could probably take him on points but i dont think Froch will be taking that chance, and you dont no how Dirrel will react once he has felt the power of froch and the pressure.

If Dirrell has the mental toughness he will beat Froch.

If not he won't.

The skills are there.

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.

And Dirrell has already faced a stationary, white european slugger who only relied on power alone (Victor Oganov) and Andre boxed rings around him and eventually stopped him, so two can play the "compare game", a few things people need to understand is 1. Dirrell has the height and reach advantage (which Taylor and Pascall didn't have), 2. Dirrell has the speed and movement advantage (again Andre is faster than both Taylor and Pascall), 3. he's technically much more skilled than Froch and lastly 4. he's a southpaw and Froch hasn't faced one in three years, i believe Andre has a very good chance of winning this fight, he clearly has all the tools for the job.
