And although some might not agree i see direll pissing us all off and potshot'in froch all damn night. And the rare times froch will get the chance to do damage ask that chin checker kat stevens what direll will do. Direll is more than content i belive to have the whole arena booing and take a decision if needed he'll revert, but i doubt he'll loose.
AA probably was the hardest hitting middleweight out there when he fought at 160 if his power translates and he can catch JT then that is all she wrote. On the other hand, JT's people must know that all he has to do is be a little more economical using his energy and be content to win rounds on the cards. JT can win a decision against AA using his reach and speed, but AA's power may test JT's will. It would be a big upset if JT won this one.

Dirrell over Froch by boring unanimous decision may be the right prediction. However, Froch is willing to put it on the line; we've seen it now a couple of times. Also, Froch's win over Pascal is even more impressive after seeing Pascal edge Diaconu. Pascal was no slouch in the speed department either and for that matter, neither was JT. Froch figured them out. Why shouldn't he figure out Dirrell? Is Dirrell that much faster? Froch will be his most difficult match yet, that much is clear. Dirrell shouldn't be Froch's. If Dirrell engages Froch, Froch may be blast him out.

Ward v. Kessler is a good first round match. At this point, I like Ward.
