Dirrell-Froch

By Scott Gilfoid: It’s pretty much academic now that the United States will be winning the overall Super Six tournament.

By Mark Wright: On the 17th of October the inaugural bout of the ground breaking super six tournament will get under way.

By Philip H. Anselmo: What will be the deciding factor in the upcoming Vitali Klitschko— Cristobal Arreola bout? Klitschko’s advanced age and supposed slower reflexes, or Arreola’s weight issues and lack of top-10 experience? That’s easy; Arreola’s glaring deficiencies. Look for Chris to show lots of heart, while for the most part Vitali negates any [...]

By Tom Stokes: Talk of the fighter least likely to succeed in the super middleweight super six tournament usually ends up with Carl Froch (25-0, 19 KO’s), the WBC champion who’s considered slow and less skilled than his competition, but what about Dirrell, Ward and Taylor, in my opinion these guys are the weakest link [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: With the latest news about Carl Froch taking part in the planned upcoming super middleweight tourney by Showtime, I don’t like Froch’s chances in the tournament for any of success.
