    After watching Dirrell's last few fights

    I think Froch takes him out in 6
    Dirrell has far better boxing skills than Froch, but his lack of solid footwork and power, especially behind his jab won't allow him to stay away from the power shots
    Dirrell is extremely open to a KO punch when exchanging on the inside, he throws short hooks with his elbows almost glued to his sides, leaving his chin exposed
    He's also a big guy, so Froch should be able to land shots, especially to the body, all night

      Froch is also, by far the biggest hitter Dirrell has faced.

        The thing in this fight is that if Dirrell has the mental toughness,grit,determiantion and heart backed by a semidecent chin he will win.

        If not he won't.

          I agree with this. If Dirrell can show all those qualities, he'll pull it off.

          He also can't get sloppy with his footwork and get off balance.

            His footwork resembles that of a new-born Deer.

              Speaking of footwork Froch's footwork looks like a guy trapped in quicksand.

              But Dirrell's is bad too.

                Direll will box but eventually hes gonna get hit with something. I say 6 rounds sounds about right.

                  Actually, I think Dirrell is going to flat out embarrass Froch, will probably shut him out, and may even stop him late. I think Dirrell will win the whole thing

                    Bambi?


                    It's not that bad. He could use work, no doubt, but there's worse.
