Carl Froch: "Dirrell Must Be Having Nightmares Already"

[Bhopreign]

ehmm its not like i think froch is a super god or anything, he has beaten 2 good fighters Pascal(now light heavyweight champ) and taylor (former undisputed middlweight champ) yet he doesnt get any respect at all from the americans. and the same thing will happen if he beats dirrell he will get zero respect from americans as usual.

but this is as usual when it comes to all brittish/europen fighters, they NEVER get any respect what so ever from the americans.

im not some diluded crazy euro nuthugger, hey i have even said several times that calzaghe is not an atg for example. and yes dirrell can outbox froch but he is very unproven. I only want americans to give credit where credit is due when it comes to brittish and european fighters.

I give Froch credit for his achievements and couldnt care if he was from Mars. Its some of the things he does in the ring that Im not a fan of, some things I do like, but Im not a fan of seeing a guy throw lead uppercuts from halfway across the ring. My thought on that is who has that landed on in sparring or in a past match? Im thinking it must have landed on someone for him to be confident in trying it over and over time and again, just looks kinda silly. I will be tuning in to see him fight and hope he puts on a good show.

Froch will be lucky to win one fight.

if froch beats dirrell, say he knocks him out in a dominant fashion, he just got "lucky" again? for the third time in a row? if he beats dirrell people really got to stop with all this he just got lucky bull****.

he has beaten 2 good fighters Pascal(now light heavyweight champ) and taylor (former undisputed middlweight champ) yet he doesnt get any respect at all from the americans.

Plenty of Americans found his win over Taylor exciting, and plenty of boxing fans, whether American or not, consider him to be crude and limited. The fact is, both are right - he is very exciting to watch, but he was rather crude and limited against Taylor, even though he managed to get the win. Dirrell is unproven, so if Froch beats him it won't and shouldn't increase his standing very much, although if he performs with a bit more defensive intelligence against Dirrell than he showed in his last two fights, and if he listens to his trainer for a change, that would increase his standing.

He has an excellent jab but rarely used it in the early rounds against Taylor, and when he did, he timing was way off. He rarely used his jab in the early rounds against Pascal either. If he jabs effectively against Dirrell, and if he keeps his hands up and chin tucked in when moving out of range, he will start to be rated more highly by neutrals.

You're just being paranoid. Those who rate him lower than you do don't do so simply because he's British.

Im rooting for Froch, but his constant **** talking is gonna end him if he gets schooled in the actual fight. He will be a laughing stock after putting out a new ******ed "Dirrell is having nightmares...he isnt ready" statement every day. That said, go Froch.
