froch - wants to render direll unconsious

[HattonTheHammer]

Seems like a nice enough guy, but talking about americans blowing smoke out of there ass, saying he will be held in the same breath as Floyd and RJJ now thats some delusional type shit, but I respect him for keeping that mentality

Dirrells just another unbeaten american fighter that looks extremely good on espn fighting mid card talent yet will fall badly short when fights like this come knocking.

I like andre i really do, very good technical fighter with fast hands. But i dont give him a chance to win this fight. Froch will be just too clever for him and fighting infront of 15,000 will get to a young fighter like dirrell especially if he starts taking punishment early on.

Dirrell will dominate the early stages of the fight. Froch always starts badly. But by 5-6 he`ll be moving through the gears and by 10-12 froch is really gonna put on a show and take out a convincing decision!!

Froch might win, but not because he is clever, DIrrell is a way more talented boxer, and I don't jsut mean physically, he throws straighter punches, he has better timing, better defensive skills, better combinations, and to boot he is waaaayy faster, pretty much literally twice as fast as Froch, I could see Froch eventually wearing Dirrell down if Andre doesn't ahve the power to make Froch respect, but watch Ward against Miranda, Ward has less power and a lot less speed than DIrrell and he beat MIranda so easily. I think Dirrell will either lose badly or look how I can't help but see him looking, and thats winning pretty much every round.

Not sure about that,may just walk into a shite load of fast sharp punches for his effort at first start and have to play catch-up.Direll is not his brother,who has a TKO coming his way btw . He's shown improvment,hand speed will baffle Froch at times but Froch is peaking off Taylor win,strong and when his fighting matches his talk,confidence can be effective.

I think this is one of those fights where we simply don't know what will happen.

Dirrell has never been tested at the top level so we can't say whether he will come up short or ace the test with flying colours.

Obviously I hope Froch wins and will be rooting for him but Dirrell is an unknown quantity in terms of how far he can rise to the occasion. Certainly so far he has beaten every man put in front of him and he has all the tools.

It's entirely possible that Dirrel could be the weakest link in the tournament but also he may go on to win the whole thing. That's the beauty of this fight, we have a tough as nails, big punching, aggressive and unbeaten world champion against a guy who is younger, faster, slicker, technically better but as yet unproven.

It could be King Arthur vs Lancelot with the son of Pendragon besting Lancelot for the first time, or it could be William the Conquerer against Harold Godwinson, with the plucky William taking advantage of Harold's tenious grip on the throne and his recent battle with Hardrada (Taylor) which has left him somewhat exposed and weakened in the eyes of many.

It's going to be a battle for the ages whichever way it goes down!
