    Some people owe FROCH an apology!

    All the piss taking and **** that happened to poor Carl after he lost to Dirrell, well it turns out Dirrell is actually a really, really good fighter, and had a great style matchup against Froch, but Carls pressure and coming forward made Dirrell less dangerous. Also people lauging "haha, froch got buzzed a bit by dirrell, his chin has gone to custard" Well, abraham got dropped by Dirrell twice, does he have a positivley glass jaw then?

    Dirrell is clearly better than a lot of people on this website realized.

          Froch lost it 116-113 to me.

          Unfair 1 deduction also for Dirrell.

          Froch rabbit punched a lot and the ref was on his side.

          He didn't do well at all, Dirrell fought a bad fight.

          I expected Dirrell to improve/learn and beat AA which he did.

            Froch is a tough fighter to break down

                Dirrell's talent impressed me in the Froch fight. There is no question he has a lot of ability but IMO this tournament has come a little too early in his career and he is not fully developed as a pro. When he is fully matured as a fighter he is going to be very very good.
                Froch's constant pressure caused Dirrell problems and took him out of his groove and he did a good job on him. The only guy in the tournament who has the boxing abilty to cause real Dirrell problems and upset his style is Ward.

                  The event seemed to get to him in the Froch fight and he was visibly green. He came in better mentally prepared for the Abraham fight but still seemed to be starting to crumble towards the end when Abraham turned the heat up.

                  Hopefully he'll be able to iron that out as he gets older and more experienced.

                    Well Dirrell would certainly have learn so much off the back of the Carl froch fight, He would have believed more in himself and realise that he threw away the froch fight which he could have won IMO if he had fought a little bit more.

                    We already knew he had great footspeed, He know he has good skills, We know he has good handspeed but he need to put everything together in a better way, Better than what he did against Froch, So going into the AA fight he must have better confidence knowing all he had to do was put it altogether to beat AA.
