I think Froch is one of those fighters who is a lot better than he looks. The punches he hits Reid with dont seem like much but they are damaging the guy, and Reid is a tough guy. I think if he hits Direll with those shots he will be in a world of pain.

He does have good speed, but his punches are like paper bullets, and also although he moves quite well he seems to get hit a lot. And this is by bums with 50/50 records. His chin looks shaky too. I think this guy is in for trouble here and I really dont rate froch, but if these bums can hurt him imagine what froch can do.

Froch's punches may not afect Pascall that much but look what he does to robin reid

that was a heavily declining robin reid, andre dirrell has never really been "hurt". and he does have power i think you need to watch his fight with anthony hanshaw, he KHTFO

I have his career set and he was dropped one time and looked hurt. But any fighter who gets dropped and stunned these days has a shaky chin to most. I think Direll has a great chance against Froch. He isn't going to go toe to toe with him. He probably can outbox him, if he has great stamina.

The funny thing was we were saying the same **** about Froch last year. After he beat Pascal and Taylor it was a different story.

The Hanshaw fight was a good one.

He looked better aginst Ooganov then he did against Hanshaw imo.

true, but if you want to see him showcase his power i think the hanshaw fight shows it. i mean he almost took hanshaw's damn head clean off

froch is going to go as far as his chin can take him...he has good stamina as well and power..but he is willing to take a shot to land his own and a good boxer that is able to withstand his punches has a good chance of beating him on the cards...nonetheless he is undefeated and brings excitement to each fight...i enjoyed the pascal fight and Jermain Taylor fight as well

Just what I was thinking... Lacy beat the **** out of Reid a couple of years earlier than that.

By the way, Dirrell was dropped and very hurt against Rocha in his early career.

Since that, he hasn't been hurt that I know of.

Definitely agree. He was more of an offensive machine against Hanshaw, but his defense was much better against Oganov. I can't really find a mistake he made against Oganov.

The Hanshaw fight is tight though... definitely more exciting IMO.

yes. think it is wishfull thinking by dirrell fans .

this froch will abandon any defense and walk right thru hands down.
poor dirrell. bad luck of the draw.

Abondoning worked so well with him for Taylor. If Taylor didn't gas, Froch would have lost badly.

Dirrel doesn't gas. Dirrel always switches stances constantly and that's probably going to confuse the hell out of Froch too.
