Froch vows to knock out Dirrel

[JazMerkin]

Froch is borderline delusional in a lot of interviews. I remember reading one a while ago where he said he can easily continue boxing for another five years because he doesn't take many punches in fights.

He's beyond belief. In the original press conference for the tournament, he described himself as the best fighter of the modern era & how this tournament would be definitive proof of that.

Apparently years ago he said that he was better sportsman than David Beckham because Beckham could only cross a ball, whilst he was a complete fighter. I think this was just after he beat Magee.

I thought the best though was I saw an interview & he described how he wanted to keep hold of his good looks. I thought he'd told a great joke until he followed it up by saying how because of this fighters like him, PBF & ODLH were good for the sport

Absolutely mental, unless he thinks a couple of birds screaming his name in the Trent FM Arena makes him Nottingham's answer to Brad Pitt

Come on Jaz lets be fair, imagine that nose penetrating the female, the thought must be heaven for them .

With the hook on that thing, it would end up more like that film Hostel

I'm not Froch's biggest fan, but I've been unconvinced by whether Dirrell is really ready to step up to this level. However, I was boxrecking (yes I just verbed that) his opposition & looked at Froch's & noticed that he's never fought a fighter over 6ft above the most basic domestic level. In fact only Brian Magee & Tony Dodson have even been 6ft of his respectable opponents. I bring this up because having seen that vid you posted, Dirrell appears to have a decent height advantage. I think finding a sparring partners like Dirrell would be nigh on impossible because you see very few fighters that tall with anything even approaching Dirrell's speed.

Makes me feel this is much more even than some think.
