Froch starting to piss me off saying Dirrell has been disrespetcful blah blah blah, Froch has the biggest mouth in the game.
I am really up on the air in this fight as to who I would rather have win.....Both fighters did not really impress me in the fights I saw them in.
I will just watch and see who I start to lean toward.....
Basically everything Froch said that can be summarized by this picture...

I was waiting for him to say that he is a monster for his weight when he started talking about the LHW sparring partners that are barely able to take his super power.....but alas it never materialised.
Dirrell had the retard thing happening towards the end again. So far I have been much more impressed with the way Froch has been carrying himself. He talks smack with a level of composure, whereas Dirrell just starts to wobble his head and jiggle his body about in an animated way.
Either way, this should be a fun fight.
Makes me laugh Froch, with the amount of shit that comes out of his mouth, funny how he can only spar Light Heavyweights, have I missed something Darren Barker when did he move from Middleweight to Light Heavyweight??
Froch is quite funny in a strange way because he seems to really believe in the things he says. I expect a monster for my weight comment from him at any moment and there would be no trace of irony on Froch's face either! ;DQuote:

Direll is young, out of his normal surrondings, never been in a big fight let alone a championship title tourny. We've seen him crack under pressure in the past and i think froch is just trying to get every advantage he can on the young guy. Froch is still going to loose but i don't blame him for any of his silly antics. I think froch is going to be surprised at how good direll can be. And direll's speed, switching, and punches coming from all kinds of angles is going to drive froch crazy and make him even look silly at times. By the time froch get's hit tries to put up his guard then thinks about hitting back direll will be sitting in his corner getting water waiting for the next round to start.
oops posted twice....mid-as-well write something. Froch is right about one thing he has fought "Top opponets ". Matthew Barney we all know is a beast, Ruben Groenewald my god almost won the local peta "beat your meat" tourny, Dale Westerman nothing needs to be said hearing his name is just scary, brain mc gee, move up some, albert rybacki was undefeated when carl raiped him in the ring the list does go on and on. He did beat taylor and jean "please miranda i'm sorry i talked shit but wish i would have tried before ward whooped him" pascal too. Direll aint fought shit either but wow how froch brags about this record and after it's all said and done get a first round fight against another guy who really hasn't done squat either. Sorry bored at work guys....just rambling. Both should just shut up and give us all a good fight. Win the tourney then maybe i can watch your shit talk video's and not laugh.
I don't like Carl "Crotch" at all...
but after watching that video, I hope he shuts Dirrell's mouth.
I cannot stand loud mouthed idiots who make outrageous claims, who don't have any experience to justify their doing so. It's one thing for PBF to do it, but Dirrell has not earned it.

Looks like Tarver will be ringisde working for Showtime.
Dirrell looks more imposing than Froch, bigger head and neck, could be wrong have to look at the vitals again..
Dirrell has electrifying handspeed, he looks a bit like Roy Jones the way he fires off punches. The similarities end there, but I think Andre in all his retardation is going to clown Froch all night... Then you'll really see some chicken neckin. Good news for Floyd, this cat seems like he can be more outrageous than him, strap a belt on that dude and you'll never hear the end of it
You know maybe it's just because I dislike Froch so much, but he seemed to lose his cool there when he kind of muttered, 'you've never met anybody on this level'. I get the impression he's too quick dismiss anything Dirrell might have. As in his comments today (I know shocking for the notoriously respectful Mr Froch)Quote:

The most curious quote - "He’s not going to bring it to me and knock me out, you cannot have fast hands and be powerful. It’s not a worry."
I don't know if it's just me, but this reminded me a lot of pretty much everything Ricky Hatton said before the Mayweather fight. As for the impossibility of fast hands & power, has he not heard of Roy Jones Jr, Manny Pacquiao & Sugar Ray Leonard :confused:
Anyway as for the video, I think Tarver is a great choice, say what you like but he has a great TV personality, he knows his stuff & is a pretty intelligent guy. I think Showtime have made a great choice there, it will be like the good old days when HBO had RJJ.
You have to wonder about Froch a little bit. He is obviously quite arrogant when talking about his super power and incredible record. I just wonder if the last couple of fights might have gone to his head a little.Quote:

I hope not because a slickster like Dirrell is not just going to be there to be hit, so it could be a long nights work if Froch hasn't covered all the eventualities.
I never cared about Froch one way or another but after some of these interviews I hope he loses. Especially hearing him say he has fought top opposition all through his career. That coupled with the arrogance and saying Dirrell is unprofessional for not making weight first attempt tells me he can be a bit of a drama queen.
I'm no fanboy of Froch but I think everyone is being a bit hard on him. Dirrell's comments leading up to the fight have been a little dis-respectful. Froch is just retaliating and not even an over the top way.
Dirrell comes across as the idiot in that press conference if you ask me, and he only had 10 seconds to speak and achieve that! ;D
One thing that's always annoyed me, not just with Froch but all fighters. When they come out with the 'you've never fought anyone of my caliber'... That may be true but that doesn't mean fuck all really, experience will help but generally the better fighter will win.
