    It's not as if Dirrell was hurt enough to a point where should have been on the canvas, convulsing like an infantile retard but he did take a half swing from a heavy-handed Abraham unexpectedly so i i think his brain was scrambled for a good sec. But When he started saying some weird shit like I got Knocked out blah blah, I thought that was bogus kinda like when Oscar won the Oscar for that performance he put on with Hopkins. But anyway, Im a big fan of Dirrell's style and i give him all the credit for the way he fought Abe.. During the fight at least, he fought like a real fighter and was on his way to a UD victory anyways..

    Direll has a bad ass style..

    Yeah I agree, to be fair I actually REALLY like his ability to time counter punches almost as if he'd just come back from the future and knew exactly when and what shit was about to go down. Scary stuff.

    I don't know if should even call them counter punches, thier more like pre-emptive strikes!

    Dirrell style is garbage. It's not even a set style. It's a mixture of occasional striker/majority show-boater/ runner/whiner. There's no denying his skills and talent. He either just doesn't know how to really use it or isn't as confidence in them as he likes people to think he is. The Curtis Stevens fight (if you can call it that) was an embarrassment to both fighters. But mostly him. I think Dirrell got screwed against Fraud. But in reality the fight shouldn't even of been close if Dirrell would of fought the way he was suppose to. The Abraham fight was a great work. For 8 rounds. Than he started hitting the wall. He didn't trip. It was a legit knock down. He was fading pretty fast in that fight I don't think Abraham would of caught him in time. But there was no way Dirrell was gonna take that chance. He saw a way and took it. Dirrell so far is a waste of talent

    lol... Calling carl an all time great or a top 5 p4p fighter may be a bit too much... But to call him 'fraud'? You're either retarded or trolling. He is nothing but 100% legit.

    Carl Froch is bad bad man.. He's a battle tested warrior who has proved himself over and over against the best.. That's no fraud..

    A fraud is someone like Ricky Hatton.

    Was talking with a client the other day and both agreeing that Froch is way ahead of Hatton when it comes to genuine achievement but seems to get a fraction of the recognition from his countrymen.

    He should drink, smoke, snort and constantly go on about it between fights more.

    He should also try running into the ringpost face-first or get knocked out flat on his back in the second round. Maybe that'll boost his popularity.

    Is Froch really ahead of Hatton in genuine achievement? Hatton was able to build a huge fan base and supporters in the UK because he was well liked, Froch simply isn't as popular.

    He's a fraud based on the way he's viewed. I've heard some call him a great fighter? Are you fucking kidding me? I'll let good slide when talking about him. Great is just stupidity. People are getting fooled by his recent fights. Thinking he's more than he is. Showing there true stupidity.

    He holds a win over Jermaine Taylor. But he didn't really beat Taylor. Taylor and that suspect stamina of his his beat Taylor. Everybody, including the announcers were waiting for the fade to come up. Carl was just at the right place at the right time. You replace Carl with lets say Brian McGee and you got the same outcome. Taylor running out of gas. Than you got the gift that was the Dirrell fight. Watching this fight a couple of times and I see no way possible Fraud won. You put this fight in fucking Jupiter or Saturn and you got a clear Dirrell win. Only in moronic Nottingham is this a Fraud win. Not only that but they had him winning by 3 points. 3 fucking points! What the fuck were they scoring? How was Carl scoring points? The rabbit punches? The throw downs? Those ain't point scoring activities. I don't deny Dirrell ran like a coward and at times held like a queer. But he still landed more scoring punches. That can't be ignored. Based on that it really is an easy Dirrell win. Fraud's whore was already in Dirrell's locker room with her panties off thinking her current meal ticket had lost. It was that clear. After robbing Dirrell, Fraud gets out fought by a close to being shot, one eye Kessler. Does he take the loss like a man? No. He whines and complains like a bitch. Than he threatens to withdraw from the tournament if he was forced to honor the contract he willingly signed and made to fight in his opponents backyard. Some warrior. After reaching a compromise that isn't even necessary he beats the oh so mediocre Arthur Abraham. He reaches the finals by beating 97 year old Glen Johnson. While I too had Carl winning the fight, it was by no means a 6 point win for him. Clearly the judge was in the pocket. Just in case. Really Carl's best win is over Jean Pascal. A fighter who is in the same boat as Carl. Not as good as he's made out to be.

    The Ward fight is it for Fraud. He beats him and everything disappears. He becomes legit. If he loses (like expected) in a way like Green or Kessler lost and he proves the name Fraud stands.

    I can tell you're a big fan of Froch. lol It's a subjective view and although I think he's a legitimate bad ass, Im not one of those people who regard him as a great fighter. NOt yet.. . He still has some more to prove before he can be mentioned amongs the greats but I think he has made the most out of what he has. I dont think he's that skilled like some people say but we got to give him credit for his mental toughness. Froch has so much belief in himself that he's beating people who he shouldnt be beating.. Say what you want but that is an exceptional fighter. Is he great? Not yet, but, he's pretty dam SPECIAL in my eyes.

    Oh c'mon bro, you're trying to discredit him of the taylor victory but that was kind of like Margarito/Cotto.. Besides the fact that Taylor had stamina issues, he also had poor punch resistance and was unable to take as much as he dished out. That's why he lost.. Are we going to blame Froch for Taylor's poor stamina ? It was a great victory.. and no way Brian Magee doesnt beat taylor..

    I totally agree with you on the Dirrell fight though... Froch got a semi-gift... But he does deserve alot of credit for outboxing Abraham. IT's not so much that he beat Abraham, but it's the way he beat him. Nobody knew Froch had that kind of boxing ability but in that fight, he proved to be more than a one trick pony and that's what makes that victory even sweeter..

    If Pascal was the only big name on his resume, yea, i guess he could be overlooked but he proved to be a versatile fighter bout after bout against top notch competition so I dont understand how you can underrate him so much.. He's beaten fighters of all different kinds of styles and that's no easy task.. Thing is, Froch wasn't even the favorite to win the tournament but look where he's at now!!

    Calling him Fraud is severe though. Do you call Ward a fraud? Ward has beat who? Kessler is his defining victory and Kessler's best win was over Froch! Other than Kessler, who has Ward really beat? I give him credit for the Bika win but most people don't give him much credit for it. Bute beat Bika better too.

    Froch has travelled to fight his opponents. Ward has fought every single of his major fights in California. Have to respect Froch for traveling.

    His best win is over Pascal. Plain and simple. People were all over Bhop for drawing with Pascal and beating Pascal. Froch outright beat him. No if ands or buts about it. That is his only great win though. I agree with that.

    Are you confusing the word genuine with huge?


    Do you call feats such as literally wrestling a win away from a ring rusty old man or robbing a paper champion of his alphabet strap as genuine achievements?

    the majority of hatton's big wins he was either allowed to wrestle and/or he was facing an old fighter... outside of that he looked like relative rubbish against a load of B level fighters when defending... guys like luczano and until that left hook... mausa, but it was always because he had a fucking cold or something.

    he was a decent world level fighter, but it is stupid how highly some people rate him. he is certainatly no better than froch.

    But who knows, if Froch was managed by Frank Warren then he'd probably be getting steered toward loads of WBO type fighters too.
