Dirrell Believes His Speed Will Expose Carl Froch

[Ray*]

Have only seen Dirrell once and he didnt look good at all, If he box and moves then Froch would end up losing Imho.

Another factor in this fight will be the old southpaw vs. othrodox matchup. Froch's footwork isn't very good, and I'm interested to see how he will fare against Dirrell in that department. Does anybody know how he's done against them in the past?

I have watch froch for years now and i think Taylor is the only world class boxer/mover that have seen in the ring with Froch, And one of the reasons why i picked Froch to KO Taylor was because of taylor's renown bad stamina....If Froch faces someone that moves a lot he might have some problems, thats why i hope he doesnt start too late in his fight with Dirrell.

Only watch Dirrell on few You tube clips. Dirrell seems to let him self be pushed back wards quite easy. Bad tactic vs. Froch !

Got ya. I've only seen Froch against Taylor, Pascal, Rybacki, Magee, and Reid, and was curious to see what his history with southpaws has been. IMO, the southpaw stance, Dirrell's chin (or lack of), and Dirrell's movement are the key factors in this fight.

Dirrell fights equally well left or right handed and is imo the best switch hitter in boxing today.

He will not spend enough consecutive time in either stance for Froch to solve either one.

defend them from xenophobic euro-hating americans that hates europe and russia as much as the ****s hated the ***s.

Man has a point. I lost count of all the Russkie concentration camps on my way to work this morning...

Am a big Froch fan especially because he never got a break while coming up(Everyone is over Hatton's nut here) and i picked him to KO taylor which won me 1.2 million points on Bscene but i have to say i fear for him in this fight, Dirrell seem like a boxer that moves a lot and Froch is a late starter am just hoping he doesnt start late because Froch like Margarito is very slow and Vulnerable to speed.

You're right in that he often switches, but I remember reading somewhere that he said he'll most often go with the stance he feels his jab is working better out of. I've just always that it is more adavantageous for him to go as a southpaw.

Me bringing up the stance issue is more of a hunch than anything.

Froch is fighting out of his class IMO. He's more a natural LHW. This lack of speed may be costly for him in future and I believe he'll pay the price sometime.

[AndyShitHot]

Course he can; this place ain't Texas.

It isn't quite but then again Froch did get a 118-110 against Pascal in Nottingham. I think Dirrell fans do need to remember the home town advantage, I don't think Dirrell will get robbed but as Froch is an aggressive forward minded fighter, if the fight is close in the end.... Froch will win. That's why i'm surpirsed at how close the odds on the fight are considering this and Dirrell's inexperience at world class level.
