    Dirrell is not in over his head. He's only facing Carl Fraud. If he was facing Kessler or maybe Taylor than yeah he would be. But he's not. Plus he's 26 years old. It's time for him to make his move. Dirrell speed and reflexes are off the charts. And he hasn't shown any stamina problems. So unless he gets DQ'ed or just straight robbed I see no reason he doesn't move to 19-0.

    It's a fight that I think could go either way. I will be hoping Froch can pull it off, but he does too many tihngs wrong and I can see it catching up sooner rather than later. Hopefully not against Dirrell though.

    Dirrell is facing Froch first and Ward is facing Kessler first I personally hope both Dirrell and Ward win.

    I expect Direll to win a decision but Froch winning wouldn't surprise me.

    Direll's chin hasn't really been tested yet so that could be a factor.

    I agree with you VD, Carl Froch is a fraud seeing as he just beat the current WBC 175 Champion and he just KTFO Jermain Taylor the former 160 king, I am in full agreement that he is a fruad

    tbh I haven't seen much of Dirrell, but Im really not impressed with Froch,
    I think he overrates his chin and his defence is awful, both Kess and Abraham
    would take him out, I'd even fancy Taylor in a rematch...

    To me Carl Froch is an average world champion and Dirrell would not have to be top draw to beat him and it wouldn't surprise me if Froch comes bottom of the table. I think his hands held low style will come back to haunt him.

    Who does he think he is ?

    You have to have lightening fast reflexes to get away with that. Also his one-punch at a time (A-La F.Mayweather Jnr) doesn't work for him as he doesn't punch quick or accurate enough for it. Even I can see that crazy uppercut move he keeps trying to pull off coming. I see the two young up-coming guys in Dirrell and Ward dominating this competition.

    Froch should have more than enough in his armour to see off dirrell and i expect a comfortable points decision. Ive seen 4-5 dirrell fights so far and am not buying him for 1 minute. He`s the weakest of the 6 and fighting the 2nd best of the 6.

    The same people on here that think dirrell will beat froch are the same type that believed lacys journey to britain to fight JC was merely a formality and a way to get him over to the european public.


    froch by quite a considerable margin
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    As appose to the Brits who thought Hatton's pressure would overcome Mayweather's speed, right? Chances are Dirrell-Fraud will look more like Mayweather-Hatton than Calzaghe-Lacy

    I commended Froch after beating Taylor. After the Pascal fight, I thought Pascal was underrated and Froch overrated. Then Froch beat Taylor and I had to give him a little credit. If he beats Dirrell it will be hard to deny that he is a top threat at 168.
