Comments Thread For: Froch: Dirrell is a Coward, I Hope DeGale Jobs Him!

[Stuntman Mike]

Dirrell outclassed Froch and was robbed. Froch is the real coward by ducking GGG, Ward rematch and Degale as he vacated his titles.

I don't get why Dirrel gets no credit,its a damn shame... thats a Mayweather type preformance on a great fighter,and then the ass whopping he put on Abraham was a class act... then the tradgic brain problems.... Dirrel should be praised coming into this fight with Degale and applauded

Mayweather style preformance against Froch(making it look easy) and he's ten times more exciting due to the weight and power.. man he hurt Froch bad

So glad Dirrell didn't get that decision.

He should have been thrown out, really.

I do think he will beat James though. If James puts himself on the ropes to try and counter a quicker fighter who is loath to put himself in any danger of getting hit we have a poor fight on the horizon which the home fighter will edge.

I thought Dirrell beat Froch convincingly. With that being said, Froch brought up what I thought was valid criticism of Dirrell. He implied that Dirrell isn't mentally strong and he has a point there. This is Dirrell's 10th year as a pro and he still doesn't have anything to show for it. He stayed in one weight class and hasn't won a single major belt. After the Froch fight he should have tried to earn his way back to a title shot and get a rematch. Instead, he spent 5 years wasting away his career. If he loses to DeGale then that's a wrap for him. He'll go down as one of the biggest underachievers in boxing.

A guy that's whole life is boxing since he was a kid,only ever lost very close amateurs fights,fights for a world title and dominates a Froch,Dominates his next challenge an undefeated ko machine who people thought was favorite for the tourney (ARther Abraham)

Then he gets brain damage in a fight he was dominating so bad that the other guy had to get himself DQ'd in

But lets forget about the brain damage,he aint fought anybody since then so he's a coward


Obviously the brain damage was a worry so they have moved him along slow,sad I know but better that than risking being in a wheelchair,Sadly i don't think Dirrel is the same beast from the super six though...he's slowed down a lot and he should be in his prime...Brain damage is highly plausible

For the last few months, Carl Froch and James DeGale have traded their fair share of words in the press. DeGale was the mandatory challenger to Froch's world IBF super middleweight world title and Froch vacated that title because he didn't have any interest in the fight.

DeGale (20-1, 14KOs) will face Andre Dirrell (24-1, 16KOs) for the vacant IBF title on Saturday night in Boston.

If Froch had any bad words to say about DeGale, he has far less respect for Dirrell. Froch won what many felt was a controversial decision over four years ago in Nottingham.

If Dirrell could dump old clueless gran pappy the 100yr old clueless moron who is hurting both Dirrells then a championship could be held. That old moses plantation field hand hurts dirrell with bad advice and ancient methods. Want a career then get rid of father time without the dime.

That video shows Dirrells highlights aka the flashes of brilliance he showed. It didn't show him literally running away from Froch, leaping on top of him, hugging, him, sliding down to Froch's **** and trying to get points taken - when does Mayweather do that ****? Come on man.

He was outstanding against Abraham - now that was a consistent performance to be proud of.....for 10 rounds. But then again, he started to lose his composure towards the ned.

One could see the sparks of genius in Dirrells eyes... One can still see them now.

You don't win a fight by fighting like a chicken shît for 8 rounds. It's a shame for Dirrell as by the time he finally grew in confidence he wasn't only schooling Froch, but backing him up. He just left it too late, it was a Jekyl and Hyde performance.

I'm split between DeGale and Dirrell. I've been a fan of both for years and really believed both would rise to the top of 168. I probably give Dirrell the edge in ability, but DeGale has more heart and has more momentum going into the fight by more impressive wins over better opposition.

I don't think any outcome would really surprise me tbh.
