    I would take Dirrell in a minute if he didn't look so scared against big punchers cuz he's way faster and has a little pop.

    I think Froch may get lucky and land a big one on him though.

    It's the crappiest first round fight by a mile.

      IMO Pascal trades and brawls far too much for a guy with his style.
      When Diaconu stunned Pascal at the end of the 5th, Pascal immediately recovered and when back to fighting his fight in the very next round( and even smiled in the corner). If you take a look at late in the Pascal/Froch fight, you'll see Froch unloading some massive right uppercuts that wobbled Pascal, but its hard to tell since he tied up soon after he was hit.

        Sounds like Andre Ward's M.O.

              Dirrell will not stand up to constant pressure for 12 rounds. He has no killer instinct and when he can't keep a finisher like Froch off of him it will be curtains.

              He will fold, zero doubt about it.

                I watched the video you posted, and I was probably wrong and Pascal was more than stunned. But I still think Pascal was hurt more in the 5th.

                I'll agree to disagree on this one.

                11th round
                https://<object width="425" height="...mbed></object>

                Going back and watching this round, he wasn't hurt as I previously thought. No more than he was in the later stages of the Froch fight.

                I guess it's sorta difficult to tell exactly how hurt Pascal is. He brawls and gets wild and off balance, and when he gets hit he either returns fire or ties up.

                  Look, I dont want to brag but I try to tell people things ahead of time on here and they never listen, only to find out that I was so right. I talk about this all the time but people always underrate pure boxers. I hate that crap. I love pure boxers. Fans hate the way they fight and therefore they always think there garbage while they boost up the no talented brawlers who hit hard but have no skill. Then you see that boring pure boxer in there with the brawler, and the pure boxer embarrasses him. Dirrell is the real deal and people will see that against Froch.

                  Southpaw said he struggled against Hanshaw. How? He clowned him. So what Dirrell got dropped in the 1st. Have you ever heard of Trinidad, JMM, and so on? Those guys get dropped early all the time. It doesnt make you a bum. He came back and totally dominated the rest of that fight and I think Hanswaw is a very underrated boxer who just ran up on beast like Dirrell & RJ. Even Stevens aint that bad. I hope the odds are great in this fight because I know Im going to win money with Dirrell. Did you see how Taylor outboxed Froch? Dirrell is so much a better boxer than Taylor & 10x more coordinated. He will kill him

                    I expect Dirrell to start looking at his corner with a confused look in his eye around the 4th round.


                    It wont last much longer than that

                      I expect Dirrell to lace Froch with left hand and right hand leads, laugh at Froch and then tell the crowd what a bunch of **** they are as he clowns Froch all over the ring.
