[BIG H]

Sky Sports | Boxing | News | Froch sees Dirrell flaws

Really looking forward to this

Should be a really good fight. I hope Froch does knock him out, but I can see it being a very difficult fight.

[killersheep]

My concern for Froch is that everytime he's talked about Dirrell he's described Ward. I'm not really sure he knows who he's fighting.

[Fenster]

Froch will probably have to knock him out. I'm cheering for Froch but my doughs on Dirrell.

My concern for Froch is that everytime he's talked about Dirrell he's described Ward. I'm not really sure he knows who he's fighting.

lol

to be fair to us brit boxing fans they are both 168 pounds, unbeaten, young, black and with the same name

My concern for Froch is that everytime he's talked about Dirrell he's described Ward. I'm not really sure he knows who he's fighting.

He even made fun of Dirrell for calling himself Son of God which is Ward's nickname Its a bit odd really.

[Fenster]

lol

Well I heard Froch say the other day he's only watched a couple of rounds of Dirrell. Maybe that was Ward too

Froch is still yet to beat a top 10 super middle

froch seems a whole lot more concerned about direll than direll is worried about him. Dude has something new to say or some new promise every day. With as big a mouth and as few fights direll has seems it should be the other way around. Either way I hope it winds up being a good scap with either guy winning rather than direll runnin and pot shot'in like I think it will be.

I cant wait for the fights.....I think this is a pick em fight. I think Froch is more durable but Dirrell has the edge in speed and movement......I dont really have a favorite......

I do think it is a little funny how cocky froch is being......he was losing the fight with Taylor and was floored good in that fight........

I am actually more looking forward to the Abraham/Taylor fight. I think Arthur is good but hasnt fought anyone the calibur of Taylor. If he can beat Taylor convincingly I would favor him to win the whole tournament......

[denilson200]

Froch's last two fights have been really hard. Jermain Taylor has said that the only reason Froch beat him was because he didn't train. Now I know boxers have excuses after a defeat or a poor performance but Taylor probably didn't train as hard for the Froch fight as he did in his fights with Hopkins. So if a faded ex-champ can take him to hell and back...what can a young fresh unbeaten olympic medalist do ?

I think this a either or fight. By that I mean I don't think it will be close either Direll will totally outclass Froch, outbox him and stop him. Or Froch will walk through him with ease and show that Dirrell doesn't deserve his place in the tournament.

I'll admit I haven't seen much of Dirrel, I've heard he's quick so he'll probably give Carl a few problems but from what I've heard he has a relativly weak resume compared to Froch... he's never had to stand infront of him before.

I think most Americans have decided that Froch is a slow plodder... which I can understand if the most they've seen of him ws his last fight. He's not exactly slick but the speed and mobility difference may not be as big as everybody thinks.

Like I said, I'd have to see more of Dirrel to say 100% but based off what I've seen of Froch and the little I've seen of Dirrel and their resume and styles etc I'm going to say that a likely outcome is that Froch outlasts him and is simply too strong.

I think it should be a good fight...

[AdamGB]

Right... watching Some more of Dirrel... from what I've seen so far he's not beating Froch.

He likes fighting midgets doesn't he...

[OumaFan]

Dirrell's the fastest guy in boxing north of 147 probably and he's got some skills but he can look a bit harried under pressure and I'm not totally sure about his stamina or chin. I've said this before, bit of a broken record, but I'm not sure what will happen, I could see Dirrell actually dominate Froch, I could see him have a good start but fade and get KO'd or maybe he just totally isn't ready for this kind of stage mentally.

[Master]

Never seen Dirrell but hope Carl does a number on him. He does sound like he will Carl nightmares early on but hopefully Froch will catch him and not leave it so late like he did with Taylor.
