    Yeah I think this will be an easy win for Froch, maybe a litttle competitive, but Dirrel will run and Froch will chase, that is true.

      Well in Dirrell's defense he was fighting for a KO and being a bit sloppy as a result. I wouldn't expect Dirrell to have that kind of game plan against a quality champ like Froch, I would expect a very tight guard from Dirrell and a safe game plan of boxing from the outside, clinch when close, and repeat. I really don't think Froch will have too many, if any, opportunities to hit Dirrell like that in the video.

      Dirrell is a pure boxer, the purest of any fighter in the Super Six tournament, and if he fights smart and keeps his cool, I can see him winning the whole thing.

      But obviously none of us know how he'll do because he's never faced a real quality opponenet as of yet.
      Well that's the problem with Direll (and Ward). He's untested so it's pretty hard to gauge how well he'll do. As for Ward one can say that he beat Miranda quite handily so the next step for him is a championshipfight.

      Direll might be a good boxer and perhaps also the best in the tournament. Best pure boxer that is. One of the beauties of this super-six tournament is the diversity in styles that the participants brings to the table. All the match-ups is different and exiting on paper.

        he ain't gonna land much on dirrell that boy will run like usain bolt.

        taylor ain't beating him unless they're fighting 4 rounders.

          I think he will lsoe to Taylor aswell. Taylor is a quality fighter and I feel he is taking this competition seriously.

          He was looking pass Froch in saying he was not all that.

          Even in his training he did 10 rounds on the mits and not 12...

          I doubt Froch will lose everyone fight, but I feel his lack of defense will make it hard to win them all.
          i don't think highly of froch's skills at all.

          taylor will gas. he always does.

          i don't like ward/dirrell.

          this tournament is between kessler and abraham to me.

          only worry i have of abraham is his size. aside from that i think abraham is superior to everyone else.

            I was about to say that, Am shocked he got up from that shot...I thought he was gone..

              Dirrell is either going to surprise some people or be a dud.

              I will say that getting floored by a can shouldn't be the end of the world, no mater how hard he got dropped.
