Andre Dirrell....Can he step Up??

[gest12645]

Dirrell will Ko Froch in the middle rounds

[The Fightfan]

I think Dirrell can step up. I am going to be honest Froch is not that talented he seems to get by with toughness and some pop.Froch in a way has still been babied who he has fought besides Taylor and Pascal. Those two are the toughest he's been in with.Dirrell is not far behind those guy's. In my mind he is much quicker and slicker than either of those two but the question that he must answer is the chin. Can he dish it and can he take it and we do know Froch will be there in the end.I don't think Dirrell has the pop to stop Froch but he certainly could easily outbox Froch if his chin is solid.

As long as his chin holds up (And I think it will) Dirrell beats Froch and does well in this tourny.
The Matrix is a lefty , fast hands and good pop. He should be able to land on Froch all night while it last.



Froch has no defense and is totally overhyped after the Taylor fight. Froch is fun to watch and a good fighter. He showed great heart in the Taylor win but that was more about what taylor couldnt do and did wrong that what Froch did.

Am I the only one that thinks Ward is the guy that's gonna hev the toughest time in this competition strictly on who his first opponent is?

I think Dirrell has the style to beat Froch but the thing is does he have the maturity to not get reckless and make mistakes. Froch has shown he can lose 11.5 rounds and still win the fight. Questions about Dirrell will be answered

People are giving Froch a lot of love for a fight that he had to win by KO. Granted, he did do that!

I'm actually expecting Ward to be the one to pull out of the tournament

Why Ward?

direll is nice when he decides to fight. He's fast as shit, switches without thinking, is strong, quick on his feet he's a decent fighter. His problem is simply his own ego. He doesn't even really know how good he is yet, but the potential is there. I think he or anyone in this tourney has the ability to beat froch, shit jermain taylor who i give almost no shot in this thing damn near did. Direll could loose and i'd be mildly surprised, but direll winning wouldn't surprise me at all. For a guy as slow and wide as froch is stopping direll from just pot shoting him is gonna be tough. He throws from both hands very quickly then uses his legs to dart out of the way......i'd much rather see direll rematch stevens to be honest.
