Will Carl Froch -vs- Andre Dirrell go over or under 11.5 rds? Poll.

[elgaringo]

I think itll go the distance! tho I hope it doesnt

[DrewWoodside]

I'll take the under. Make that official

Dirrell is known most for his Tour De France abilities, but no one seems to mention that Dirrell's last 6 fights ended inside of 7 rounds. I realize the level of opposition may be questionable but a lot of this fighter's opponents aren't seeing the second half of the fight lately.

I think Froch has a beard, taylor hits pretty hard he just isn't a great finisher but Froch was hit by a very hard shot that stunned him but he got back up to stop Taylor. And I think Froch stopping Taylor had more to do with Taylors bad game-plan then it did with Froch's so called devastating power.

I doubt that Direll has the stamina to go 12 rounds with Carl Froch.

Nail on the head.

The taylor disease? Basically you're saying if Dirrell isn't strong enough or a good enough finisher he most likely will gas out and then is when the cobra strikes?

Who's Dirrell beat?

Who's Dirrell beat?

Oganov*not a good win because he was stopped by Zuniga, the same Zuniga Bute easily KO'd but Pavlik had a tough fight with Zuniga. So, it just shows styles do make fights.

But it doesn't matter if he hasn't fought as steep as competition as Froch, Dirrelll may or may not be able to beat Froch still. Will see this Saturday. I don't like to judge someone too much by their resume since Dirrell has shown talent, and Froch is clearly a huge step up for Dirrell.

Then what's your point to start off with? Froch has been to the square dance on a few occasions now and has beaten guys(Taylor and Pascal) who are better then Dirrell.

Dirrell might be skilled but when your stamina and heart is untested in a 12 round fight then i can't see how he's gonna pick up a win against a guy who HAS the heart and stamina to go 12 rounds?

Dirrell's bottle will go long before the championship rounds anyway.

How are they better then dirrell? They do different things in the ring. You can say they are better then Dirrell at accomplishments, but right now I don't think its fair to say both are much more talented then Dirrell since we haven't seen Dirrell tested yet.
