Dirrell: “I will do anything for the world title”
October 1st, 2009
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten super middleweight Andre Dirrell (18-0, 13 KO’s) appears more than ready to take out WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (25-0, 20 KO’s) as the Super Six tournament gets underway in a little over two weeks from now in Nottingham, England. Dirrell had this to say to the Las Vegas Sun:
Judging by the comments that Dirrell made, it looks as if the 32-year-old Froch is going to have his hands full when he meets up with Dirrell on October 17th, and he might get much more than he bargained for when he signed up for the Super Six tournament. Froch is saying that some bookies have installed him as the favorite to win the Super Six tournament.
Frankly, that’s some shocking news to me because I see Froch as being one of the fighters that might just come in dead last in the tourney, without winning one fight. If I was to pick a champion right now, it would come down to either Dirrell or Andre Ward. This has nothing to do with them being Americans or any of that garbage.
They just appear to be the best fighters. I think Mikkel Kessler is a capable fighter, although I wasn’t at all impressed with his last fight. He looked rusty and kind of old. He may be ripe to be picked off by two or three fights in the tournament. Heck, even Froch might beat Kessler the way he looked. I’m joking, of course. Kessler will destroy Froch, but it’ll be interesting while it lasts. The top three fighters in the Super Six tournament will be Ward, Dirrell and Kessler. Jermain Taylor could pull off some upsets if he’s at the top of his game.
Dirrell, though, looks like he’ll be ready to come into Nottingham and take Froch’s title and leave some unhappy fans wondering what happened. Froch has a chance in the fight, a small one, if he bum rush Dirrell and pin him to the ropes. If Froch hold him Dirrell down with his left hand and bludgeon him with his right, I think Froch has a chance of winning the fight.
Of course, that’s illegal but that’s probably the only thing that Froch can do to win this fight because Dirrell will be moving constantly and will be much too fast for the slow-footed Froch to land his shots. Froch needs to time Dirrell because his punches will be way too slow to land unless he can figure where Dirrell will be and then throw. Froch might as well close his eyes and swing, because that’s about how much of a chance he’ll have to land his shots in this fight. Froch doesn’t have the boxing skills to win this one and it will come down to just dumb luck for him.

PS whats with Dirrells “goatie”? does it help him look like a cnt as well as talk like one?
scott lives in his mums spare room and uses her PC to submit these articles for which he does not get paid. He uses them as an excuse to spurt his anti-Brit rubbish and showcase his rather outdated xenophobic attitude in a desperate attempt to maintain what he feels is America’s global superiority in all aspects of life. It is a very sad thing to have to witness, and i take no pleasure in saying this, but i think he needs to “get a life”…oh and Froch by KO
If this is the type of rubbish American boxers and fight fans are constantly being fed, am not surprised the sport is struggling. This hyped ride will come to a brutal and sudden stop when Froch KOs this guy.
Typical article for the rascist goidford
Scot Scot clever your not what up bro did some english guy bend over and give you up the blow hole!!!!!! as you hate the brit so much Ha HA Scot been nailed in the blow hole now have a nice day yall.
Such a biased article but I think scott is right about dirrell beating froch, he is far too slow to beat him. Hopefully not though
You are a really skilled writer…to spurt out so many articles on the same subject you must really have a lot of freetime on your hands or is that sticky tissue…
scot,are you from mars???? hahahahahahah…u really do crack me up,,,we all cant wait for your post fight report.its gonna be superb hahaha
attention seeking again, Scott.
“Nothing to do with them being American”
Ha! Again, I love it when this fella is in a funny mood, always gives me a little chuckle at work. Throw in the ‘boxing expertise’ and I will wet myself.
Can anyone else notice the fledgling excuses popping up? I’ll bet if Froch wins we will all hear the ‘dumb luck’ line, that’s clearly been planted as an excuse should Froch KO Dirrell.
Clearly integrity will again be thrown out of the window. If he wins, I’d like to see a man be a man and accept that he was wrong. It’s awful that everyone reading his articles can probably write the exact article we are destined to read should Froch win…Lame.
Untested and overhyped
why do you americans keep sayin froch has slow feet and poor boxing skils, he has a fantastic amateur pedigree, also he hits like a mule. and if rocha(a bum) can floor dirrell hard then just think what froch will do. its goin 2 b a devastating KO.
2 articles in one day on the same subject well done Scott.
“I think Froch has a chance of winning the fight”
Is there now some doubt creeping into your mind?
I can’t wait to see you fly past me doing the fastest back pedal the world has ever seen…………..Look out Usain Bolt!!!!!!!!
