Carl Froch - Andre Dirrell

[OumaFan]

pfft, I've been guilty of underrating Froch but Dirrell can be underrated too, he's without a doubt the most explosive athlete in the whole thing, he's insanely fast, can punch, and is pretty skilled. I just worry about his mentality and his chin.

They're just about my exact thoughts on this fight.

Watching a few Dirrell fights recently he looks very impressive to me. I can't believe he's the 14/1 outsider in this thing.

His speed is going to give Froch murders. If Dirrell has the bottle for it he'll win. But equally it wont be a surprise if Froch drags him into the deep end and drowns him.

no doubt in my mind dirrell will look to be the aggressor from the word go and will have froch on the ropes on more than a few occasions.

But we`ve seen in the past how carl enjoys those types of slug fests as he is extremely good at not allowing himself to become to inveloped in what the other guy is doing and froch will no doubt pick away at dirrell every time he lunges in.

If the judges go on dirrells sheer athletisism alone it`ll be a tough call, if however it comes down to who landed the better shots and asserted themselves better froch will win hands down

Hmmm, why do you think he'll come out trying to come forward and back Froch up?

Andre Dirrell right?

He comes out pretty much every time moving and trying to box. He pretty much never comes out the aggressor trying to back his man up.

Against Victor Oganov he came out boxing and moving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooMdGA1UimY

Against Anthony Hanshaw he came out boxing and moving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYLcZ...eature=related

Against Derrick Findlay he came out boxing and moving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlW-n...eature=related

Against Curtis Stevens he ran the whole fight.

He may throw a lot of punches but he doesn't come out the aggressor coming forward trying to back his man up. Froch is the obvious pressure guy here.
