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

Who's Dirrell beat?

A lot of people were attempting to say who has Froch beat before he fought Taylor, or Judah said Cotto hasn't faced anyone on my skill level prior to me.. At some point, increases in competition level are well timed and appropriate. I'm not saying this is necessarily the right step for Dirrell right now but I don't think it's fair to say that Dirrell can't win simply because he's an up and comer with resume that's a work in progress.

ppl also did the same thing before Calzaghe/Lacy. Discredited Calzaghe and say who has he beat, Lacy is going to steam-roll him.. LOL, they ignored the fact Calzaghe fought a prime-reid and Eubank though... So Calz was actually tested before fighting Lacy ppl in the states just didn't know that. Lacy fought a reid that wasn't in his prime and so did Froch. Or maybe their was a style-clash between Calzaghe that made him for whatever reason have problems with Reid in that fight. Though I heard Calz hand broken his hand or some sort.

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.

I'd back Taylor and Pascal to beat Dirrell.

Those are style-clash ups though. ****, Dirrell could completely embarrass Froch but may lose to one of the fighters you mentioned. But still its not fair to dis Dirrell if he passes his test this Saturday. I have a huge hunch that even though Dirrell may pass it might not be too fan-friendly. I don't think he is dumb enough to trade with Froch. Thats alright with me since I felt the Lopez/Rogers fight was lame even though most thought it was awesome. I don't know I used to like GATTI/Ward type fights but I'm starting to respect defensive fighters a bit more now.

Maybe, but my hunch is that a lot of people just wanna see Froch taken down a peg or two and hope Dirrell is the ticket.

I don't see it.

Anyone know if this is a bigger or smaller ring? I would think Froch would attempt to secure a smaller ring..

[The Gambler1981]

I would parlay that for sure on either side Froch/under or Dirrell/over.

[Bushidō]

If Dirrell runs than it'll go full 12 but if he decides to get brave he'll get stopped

Small arena usually mean small rings. I'm basing this on nothing BTW.

I put $50 down to win $110.00 on a parlay of Abraham/Taylor over 11.5 with Froch to win. I'm thinking of throwing down another bet of Under 11.5 on Froch/Dirrell. Such high over/under #s is making it very difficult for me to resist.
