Dirrell will beat Froch easily.

[Hitman932]

What people don't realize is that Dirrell fights to the level on his competition.

When he is fighting someone who isn't a threat he gets bored, gets lazy, showboats and gets hit by punches he shouldn't.

Against Froch, with a world title on the line, he is going to take it to a level that nobody has seen from him.

He is going to dismantle Froch and leave him looking like a rank amateur, there won't be any fooling around in this one.

are you kidding me. froch wont win more than 3 rounds, i guarantee. taylor was making froch look like a rookie. Froch is slow, NO defense, with bad technique. he has great power, but he is TOO TOO slow for dirrell.

even if taylor had gotten up in the 12th round he would still only had won by split/majority decision or a very tight decision, he would have won shure but he didnt make froch look like a rookie.

that sounds like a fair bet i will go with carl froch in this fight cuz i think with all the natural talent and speed that andre dirrell has his chin is suspect and i think carl froch has a chance to stop him late like he did to jermain taylor i think froch knocks out dirrell in 10 rounds

Dirrell will get through this tournament unbeaten. mark my words. i havent seen a super middleweight with his boxing ability ala. speed, power, ring generalship since the 90's version of roy jones.

Talk about overrating the boy.

His defence is terrible and he has already been rocked in his career against Rocha and he looked so open against Mike Paschall.

I do think he will beat Froch though.

Seriously, this is a fight where you can make easy points on. People think Dirrell is untested and a prospect going against a experienced fighter in Froch who is a world champion and knocked out Taylor, which is true. But Dirrell is a better fighter than both Froch and Taylor and can school Froch by just potshotting him alone. On paper Froch should be the favourite, the fight is in his hometown, but I think Dirrell would win really convincingly that even the judges wont be able to help Froch.

Pascal and Taylor troubled Froch, but Dirrell is a more tactical smart boxer with a better stamina, height, reach and most importantly speed. He is faster than Taylor and we saw how Taylor's speed confused Froch, so you have that speed from a SOUTHPAW this time who can potshot and is fast with a good height and reach.

We saw what he did to Anthony Hanshaw and Victor Oganov.

He is better schooled technically but the better technical fighter does not always win if he fights the wrong fight or get his on the chin and cannot stay upright. We dont even know if Dirrell can take a shot yet so.....

He admitted that against Rocha he was hurt and fighting through a fog.

Taylor was able to offset Froch with the jab but Taylor did not go to the ropes much, he kept the fight in centre ring untill he started tire, Dirrell does a dangerous amount of backing up which could cause him trouble against someone as consistent as Froch who keeps coming.

Dirrell does not commit to the jab either he flicks out there and pulls back like Roy Jones does, Taylor has a very good jab and Dirrell's is no where near as effective imo.

Froch might be limited and im picking Dirrell to win but dont count Froch out either.

[Peder]

At the level of this tourney, I bet everyone who can fight the entire 12 rounds beats Froch.
Tough match for a guy who never went 12 rounds before though, he will earn my respect if he wins. I am looking forward.

[TheUndertaker]

I bet all my points on a Dirrell win, any takers? He will outbox him pretty badly.

You must be ****ing kidding! If you had picked anyone other than Diarrhea Dirrell I would be ok, this ass clown ain't beating ****! This guy is a runner and has some of the worst fights in boxing history! One good fight doesn't make up for all the other **** fights he put on. If Froch took Taylor's best and weathered the storm, Dirrell isn't going to dent him. Diarrhea only wins if he runs around the ring in circles, which he's done in the past, and stays away from Froch.

I agree, and that this is winnable fight for both--It is the speed and skills of Dirrell versus the intagiables of Froch.

I think you touched upon an important subject in that Dirrell does too much backing up in straight lines, especially into corners. In the middle of the ring he can probably avoid Froch's shots on reflexes alone, but when he corners himself, he gets himself into trouble. (I think thats what happend against Hanshaw in the first round, if my memory is right). He'll need to give himself all the room possible because I suspect that the ring will be pretty small.

Really good post agree 100%

I could see Froch not only winning if Dirrell fights that kind of fight but actually beating the **** out of Dirrell.
