    Dirrell certainly didn't "Lacy" anyone last night. And let's be honest, the only fighter that's ever been Lacy'd is Lacy.

      Really?

      Well he'll have to up his punch-out-put by 99 punches a round.


      The positive however is that Dirrell, unlike Calzaghe, isn't afraid of planes.

        He is, however, afraid of standing toe-to-toe with Froch, as he demonstrated tremendous track-star abilities last night. Neither of these fighters would ever beat Calzaghe, but I'd give Froch more of a chance by way of KO - no chance on points.

          But he is afraid.


          (cheap shot)

          I think Dirrell could up that workrate. Understandably he was cautious in his first championship fight against a strong 12-round-fighter who he probably wasn't going to knock out and who had come of a 12th round KO victory.

          Dirrell is pretty sensible really, though that probably cost him.

            Dirrell stood toe to toe with Froch several times.

                Yep styles make fights and fast boxers trouble Froch's style , Hopkins Calzaghe Dirrell JT etc .Puts me in mind of Margarito a bit with the solid chin but gets troubled of fast hands. I'm looking forward to the Froch Abraham Kessler fights tho because we'll probably get a war.

                    Well Lacy was a champ at one point but other than that I see no similarities.

                      He did but it wasn't consistent enough ...allthough IMO Dirrel won that fight cause Froch was dog poo
