Dirrell's chin?

[Rantcatrat]

To the Froch-haters: will a win over Dirrell win you over?

Not that you'll like him as a person because at times he comes off like a douche, but I mean what does he have to do to win you over as a boxer. Back-to-back-to-back wins over Pascal, Jermain, and Dirrell is impressive anyway you slice it.

It's odd but for me he is one of the most beatable of the fighters in the tournament and also one of the the most dangerous. It's entirely unpredictable. We know he is vulnerable but we also know he has heart and grit.

As if mate, im no means a Froch fan, but he wont get any credit at all. He should be getting the credit he deserves for the fight against Taylor, most people go on as if Taylor put some master class on when Froch knocked him out and thats why there isnt much credit towards Froch but in reality it was a close fight with Taylor just winning when the stoppage came.

Froch would still be slaughtered even if he won this event with each victory by ko.

Its hard to say where his chin is for sure until he faces top competition. I mean look how many times Trinidad went down early in his career, and I don't think his chin is bad at all. I am not saying Dirrell has a great or even good chin, I am just saying for now we really don't know how good it is.

That was only his 7th pro fight.

People are so quick to call someone chinny because they go down early in their career. Ali went down early, Ward went down early and so did Dirrell. It doesn't mean his chin is crap. Andre Ward stood up to Miranda's punches pretty well for a "chinny" guy

Froch will stop him sooner rather than later i reckon!

What time is this on in the UK?

...but since then Dirrell has been hurt. VS Curtis Stevens he basically ran the entire fight.

Ward has a bad chin as well, he got rocked by afew no namers and he got put down by Miranda who doesn't throw quick, sharp, punches...he's going to have to have a horseshoe up his ass to beat Kessler because Kess has big power and he's a very good boxer

Was Dirrell actually hurt against STevens?

No, he didn't even get hit in that fight if I remember right. People just take a lot of credit away from him for runnign or not standing and trading with Stevens when its up to Stevens to cut off the ring and close distance and he could do neither. Think Mayweather agaisnt Baldomir and you have Dirrell against Stevens, no risks taken by Dirrell in that fight so he gets a lot of flack for it.
