Froch has just been interviwed and he says hes not suprised, he says Dirrell will easily come back and make weight, but he new he was struggling at the weight and his spys have been feeding him info back he hasnt been eating and been training very late to shed the last few lbs.
How will this effect him in the last few rounds we know Froch brings it for 12 rounds. IMO Froch's odds just shortened a little/

I didnt realize Talyor was that much bigger than Arthur......People always talk about how Arthur is big and thick, he looks small compared to Taylor....

I think the difference is the legs Taylor has twiglet legs, Abraham has big solid legs.

Yeah definitely, its weird how many black athletes have really skinny legs, in fact I would say its the majority.
I wonder if that's one of the reaons why they are generally more succesful than white's, their body weight is better distributed as white folk tend to have stockier legs in general?

Taylor's twig legs look to be a couple 3-4 inches longer than Arthur's.....

If it was a joke crowd trying to lampoon the people of Nottingham as being mentally handicapped they couldn't have done a better job than those folk.

???? You were talking about big and thickness, now your on about length?
No mate the reason Taylor looks alot bigger and thicker as you say is because he has string for legs. ;)
Heres the second part of the weigh in aswell

Ok Bilbo, I don't want to turn this into a thread about race, because it isn't, but that above statement is bollocks & you'll be able to work that out yourself if you look at
1. The NFL
2. All manner of black footballers, notable examples - Michael Essien, Roberto Carlos & Thierry Henry
3. Mike Tyson
4. The entire Jamaican sprint team both male & female.
Better distribution of weight includes having more down by your legs. Taylor having skinny ones compared to Abraham might be part of the reason he can take shots off Miranda with his jaw hanging off whilst Taylor's legs have a tendency to not hold out. Also why they restructured Khan's body to move more muscle down to his legs.
Anyway back to the topic, both Froch & Dirrell look a bit gaunt to me. I don't know what possible 'spys' Froch could have in Dirrell's camp, I suspect it might be more of Froch's ever so slightly fantasist mind. But with Dirrell not making the weight at the first go of things, my confidence in him has just shortened

I dont think it would be that hard for Froch to have a few spys knocking about as Dirrell has been staying and training in a Nottingham hotel.
Re: Dirrell 0.4 oz over the 168 limit/ Abraham Taylor make weight
I dont think coming 4oz over is that big of deal. Didnt Mosely come in over against Margacheato and needed to be re-weighed? Didnt slow him down a lick come the fight
