If Dirrell learns from this and steps it up a level ...

[Walterson]

he wins the tourney, in my opinion.

- confidence

- power

- inside fighting skills

- less reliance on referees

are what he needs to get that trophy.

[Krakodil]

he is a running, hugging and whining ***** ass COWARD. no way will he win the tournament.

[CUFreeze]

Krak- So you want Dirrell to fight exactly how the opponent wants him to fight? Dirrell's advantage here was staying on the outside and boxing Froch. He did just that and easily won that fight. OOOOOHHHHH!!! and lets not forget that Dirrell is the one that HURT CARL FROCH.

[Matt Marvelous]

I think everyone in this tournament is still live, except for Taylor obviously...




and Froch.

[DC Fight Fan]

When Dirrell fought "In The Box" after the point was deducted. He was meaner and had more confidence. Froch could not hit him cleanly and he was blistering Froch with his punches. He was faster, smarter, more powerful and had better defense than Froch. I think he will definitely learn from this and I think the finals will be Abraham and Dirrell.

[$partacus]

This loss could be good for him, he will fight more. After having the point deducted and being forced to stop holding he looked a much better fighter.

[hard hitting]

Froch couldent cope with the speed of dirrells punches, Dirrell won the fight to be fair, i like froch but speed kills,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Bad decision?

[S.G.]

Dirrell schooled Froch and beat him comfortably, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you on "inside fighting skills".

He looked extremely uncomfortable on the inside and he couldn't tie up effectively - if Froch was Abraham he would have knocked him the **** out in the late-middle rounds

[zojo]

Carl Froch had Dirrell on ***** street a few times, just imagine what Abraham would do.

WAAARRRRRR EUROPE!!

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Dirrel did imprese me and he look liek a real top ten.

But no way in hell he beats Kessler.

I think Dirrel will be second or third in this tournament. At first I didnt thought he had it, but he did imprese me, with his boxing skills, although he need to stop running that much and all that whinning was sickning!!
