If Dirrell faces Froch again, he wins easily

I think so too, when Dirrell finally settled down and turned it up he was making a mockery of Froch (11th round in particular) if they fight again he'll realise he can easily get off first with his way faster hands and box circles around Froch with his superior footwork giving him hell for 12 rounds and a clear UD or late stoppage
Regardless of what happens in the rest of the tournament, I think Dirrell will draw a lot of confidence from this fight, and be a real power in the divisions future

Yep,inexperience cost him. I had him winning by a round,maybe a draw. He will kick himself when he watches it back. He could have won at a canter if he used his head.
That said, I give him credit,and he shouldnt feel bad. This is a fantastic learning fight for him at this stage of his career,and could be the making of him.

Yeah it was close anyway you look at it. Froch fought like an experienced pro, even though Dirrell was superior in speed and skillls, he put in the work to get a decision, especially in his home town.

So yeah I tip my hat to Froch, he's gritty, and that goes a long way. But let's just say this.

The rest of this super six better hope Abraham beats Dirrell. Because if Dirrell makes it to the semi finals, good luck! Dirrell by that time will be experienced and have all the tools he's already working with. I was very impressed with Dirrell and look forward to watching him again. Although the Abraham matchup is a tough one, Dirrell probably has the skill to match everyone in this tournament.
