F that shit about Dirrell vs Curtis Stevens

[JT Rock]

havent seen the fight, judging by what you are all saying I will gladly pass on it I did see the Hanshaw fight and was amazed how cleanly he got clipped by Tony when pressured, he was hurt 2x in the 1st round. I'm not sold on Froch yet and unfortunately a win against Dirrell wont change my feeling, that being said Froch is a plodder and was being Clowned by Taylor until Jermain slowed down, Andre has incendiary handspeed and some pop, if he can move and not lose steam he should easily box circles around Froch.. if Carl catches him though Direll will be tits up counting ceiling tiles for a while...

Thats the beauty about Saturday, IMO there is no clear cut winner of either fight

I am really excited for this weekend. I think Dirrell has not really shown how much punishment he can take. One the other hand I haven't seen him corral a bull like Froch. I don't think anyone outside of his trainers knows if he's going to have to dig deep or stay on his toes and outpoint the seemingly less talented Froch.

I am picking Froch TKO10. Dirrel crumbles like a cookie under the pressure after some shoe shine in the earlier rounds.

I have to disagree direll deserves absolutly no slack. Being young and a amature doesn't give you a reason in this sport to waste our time, stevens time, tv time, etc.....running like a damn 6th grade school girl after talking shit after shit about the guy and the other "chin checker" before the fight. Now if he wants respect back then the way to do is like he's been doing and doing now. But to be fair since the stevens fight he's been better but he's fought absolutly no one. I think he wins and probably pretty easy but from me no pass for the previous......earn it back. Ey his other brother aint to shabby himself.

Maintaining distance isn't running, maybe people need to brush up their videos of Ali and Leonard, because this wasn't even close to running, wasn't anything close to Leonard-Duran II. Sure Leonard proved he was tough in the first fight, but he used a tactical advantage against Duran in the second one, and htere is nothing wrong with that. It was Curtis Stevens who never even tried to speed up his footspeed or pressure. At least a guy like Hanshaw goes balls out against the faster man to try and pin him on the ropes, and thats what you have to do. Thats what Hatton did against Mayweather. It might not always work, but at least it will give you some modicum of a chance.

Nobody can tell me that you can't catch a guy in a boxing ring if you truly want to and are willing to get hit to do it.
