Not sure, but I'll say this: I'd still be happy if the only fights to come off are the ones this month. Showtime managed to put together fights between six of the ten top fighters in a hot division in one month! That is impressive. Three of the six are current or former world champions and 3 of the six are former Olympic medalists. And the matchups are exciting. Froch v. Dirrell in Nottingham (at least recently, when is Froch not in a good fight), Kessler v. Ward (excited to see Kessler back in a big fight again and Ward since he beat Miranda), and Abraham v. Taylor (AA finally having a chance to test his skills against a champ and Taylor to see if he still has it in him to win a big fight). Other than the Pacquiao v. Cotto fight, those are the three big fights of the next two months..

I cant see Dirrell winning this everything is against him, venue, ref, etc etc.

His chin looks a bit suspect to, aswell as the level of his compitition being very very different to what he is fighting against Froch. Big props to Dirrell for agreeing to this event with his experience, but I cant see him winning in Nottingham against Froch who will be on him all night, Froch KO 8th for me.

I've been waiting to see Direll unconcious every since he jabbed and spun away from punches of this game short guy (Curtis Stevens?) that had no reach because he had arms like a T-Rex.

I don't think it will happen against Froch though. It would be funny to see, but Froch has got lead feet and I think he'll need to take a cab to catch up with Direll. Direll's ego won't let him gas and be a sitting duck like Taylor was, unless Froch spends the whole fight wearing him down.
