    Hard one to call but I think in the end after losing some early rounds Froch will manage to turn this into a brawl and Dirrell will not fare so well....I give Froch the SD

    Dirrell may be young he may be inexperienced but he's fresher than Taylor, faster than Taylor, and bigger than Taylor, not to mention he switches up southpaw to orthodox very easily and with great results so far.

    Sure I would have liked Dirrell to have a fight against someone like Edison Miranda or Sakio Bika and then I would be more sure about his success vs Froch, but I feel that IF Dirrell can get in rhythm then Froch is in for a very long night, the handspeed and athletisim of Dirrell will be too much for Froch.

    Froch gets stonger in later rounds, so that could be a really big factor.

    That's true and Dirrell has been lazy in the ring before, but he's also been forced to survive so he has decent experience.

    I think the real question is Does Dirrell have power with those quick hands and can he take a good shot from a champion. We all know Dirrell has speed but does he close those fists in an effort to hurt someone or does he do it just to make the crowd go oooh and aahh.Can he take a shot from a legitimate champion? I think he can and he will win a UD.

    I don't really see any connection in how Froch and Calzaghe fight tbh. Calzaghe had supernatural stamina, threw punches in bunches and had quality handspeed and footwork. Leave him alone dammit!

    As for Froch against Dirrel. Well, I don't know really. I would like Froch to win, but I do worry about his limitations. He really isn't all that good skill wise. Taylor had him until he gassed and like someone mentioned earlier, Dirrell is younger and fresher and very fast. Maybe Froch can land hard and take away Dirrell's will but it's a big what if. I'm on the fence for this one.

    I'm officially off the fence. Froch is going to batter him like a chip shop sausage. You've got to get hyped for a fight and sitting on the fence isn't cool when the fight is only a few days away. This is one of those times when I would have to support the home boy.

    Knock his block off Froch!

    Gotta go with Froch on this one. Maybe a mid to late round stoppage.

    I want to pick Dirrell cause I think there's a chance he could look amazing but there are more questions about him, chin, stamina, composure, etc. Froch late TKO.

    Fuck it, im doing the same, but jumping on Dirrells side. Mostly cos I don't like Froch, but I don't claim to have perfect reasoning.
