    My thoughts on today's fights

    AA/JT

    As brutal as it sounds, JT is dead to me. I have no idea how a fighter can go from defeating Bernard Hopkins twice to losing to inferior bums. Taylor did nothing but throw 1,000 meaningless jabs a round. His corner urged him to throw more right hands but he didn't and when he did, he was a bit more effective. I believe he just fought to last all 12 and he even failed at that. You're done, Jermain. :down:

    AA did whatever he felt like doing in there and got away with it. He flurried when he wanted to, he jabbed when he wanted to and pressed the action when he wanted to. AA will have his hands full against a fighter that will actually do something. :down:

    Froch/Dirrell


    This was a clear hometown decision. I can't explain how the hell Froch won more than 3-4 rounds. The cleanest punches he landed was when he hit Dre on the break He looked like crap.

    Andre looked good but very green. He backed HIMSELF up the whole fight and has no clue HOW to clinch. He also needs to strike first. There were several times that him and Froch would be at punching range of each other and just stare at each other. Other than that, Dirrell won this fight, hands down.

    Our understanding is that Dirrell won; no debate. But check this out for some people out there, not only did Dirrell clearly win, it wasn't even close. Hear that mother fuckers?!

    It wasn't even a close fight.

      styles make fights jr.jt had the athetic ability when he was younger to be the sort of foil that would beat a bernard hopkins type.

        Wasn't even close. I had it 8-4 Direll, and I gave Froch a petty round.

            Another reason why I don't feel sorry for him. I can agree that he had fresher legs for Hopkins but he was fighting Pavlik, AA and fucking Carl Froch!! He CLEARLY had advantages in speed, overall boxing skills and athleticism over them. JT is a classic example of an underachiever.

              If Andre didn't know how to clinch, he sure does now. After all that practice he got against Froch he's the clinch ***ing master. I'm glad the judges didn't allow Dirrell to get away with that ****, it's disgracefull to win in such a cowardly way.

                JT was always an "ok" boxer IMO.

                I never liked his style and he does not look like he's comfortable in the ring.

                I think he should drop out of the 6

                  You clearly don't know what I'm talking about. He doesn't know how to clinch effectively. All he did was wildly grab Froch and muscle him to the ropes. He never clinched and turned him while on the ropes when the opportunity was there for him alot.

                    J/T is clearly done.
                    he should fight bums in his hometown, and not top ranked boxers.
