Froch-Dirrell

By Scott Gilfoid: 47-year-old WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins sees a potential fight between IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute and Carl Froch as being a bad one for boxing fans given how badly Froch was whipped by Hopkins clone WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward last month in the Super Six finals.

By Scott Gilfoid: If former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-2, 20 KO’s) doesn’t decide on signing a two fight contract with IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (29-0, 4 KO’s) for fights in April and August this year, then Froch might want to look at facing Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14 KOs) again because [...]

By Joe Met: There is a lot of debate surrounding the fighters who have been involved in the Super Six Tournament this last year or so, and non more so than Carl Froch, and Andre Dirrell. If the tournament were scored on column inches alone , one of these two fighters would have won it [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: It seems that World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-0, 20 KO’s) still has some bruised feelings about his controversial 12 round split decision win over the talented Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KO’s) from their Super Six stage 1 bout last October. In an article at Boxing Fanhouse, Froch says [...]

By Adam Fillingham: Now there is nothing worse that watching a boxing fight with more holding, than punches being thrown. It makes for a boring night in and is especially bad if you have paid for the fight. So fighters if your reading. Hold off on all the hugging.

By Liam Santiago: I am sick and tired of hearing people saying Andre Dirrell beat Carl Froch. It is really starting to boil my kettle. Recently Dirrell’s trainer or advisor or whatever has claimed Froch was beaten. Amir Khan has also stated his thoughts on a ‘hometown decision’. Bo**ocks! Froch beat him clearly. On my [...]

By Joseph Aaron Forbes: Boxing is an interesting sport with many philosophies; to begin I will use the recent fight between Froch and Dirrell to illustrate.

By Glen Anglin: Saturday’s Super six level one match in Nottingham was a disappointment both stylistically and for entertainment value. Both men failed to produce a solid performance and the fight devolved to a dissatisfying spectacle lacking drama. The highly-touted (in the USA, at least) Dirrell showed tantalizing flashes of the ring skills that have [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: Sorry for the late article but I only saw the Froch-Dirrell fight last night. I am a British boxer and boxing fan so I was favoring Froch on this one, I wanted Froch to win. After seeing the boring early start to the fight I expected Froch to come on strong and [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: This maybe somewhat disappointing to many boxing fans of WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch but the talented boxing great Barry Mcguigan believes that Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) should have won the fight between him and Froch last weekend, according to an article from Mcguigan in The Mirror. Mcguigan, a former [...]

By Kevin Pasquale: Showtime’s Super 6 Tournament, which now some are calling the “Super 5”, with the obliteration of Jermain Taylor, is the perfect tournament, for the following reason, amongst many. Some of the best super-middleweight fighters in the world will get the chance to defeat the overly arrogant, eminently beatable Carl Froch. Exhibit A:

By Jordan Stoddart: Good day Boxing fans on both sides of the Atlantic and the millions watching worldwide!

By Dennis Broadhurst: This article has been written to highlight the amount of people in boxing who make clearly biased actions and judgments. Last week I was at a boxing gym getting a medical examination and to watch my coach in his first amateur fight.

By Al Francis: Showtime’s exciting and innovative super six series got off to a flying start this past Saturday. Two out of the three opening bouts were contested, a major championship was up for grabs, 23 rounds were completed and another one almost completed!

By Edd Watson: Before the super six started, all we heard from the Americans was how good their fighters were and how they had fought much better opposition and how they’d wipe the floor with the “poor” Europeans. Arthur “The King” Abraham outclassed Jermaine Taylor and made him look very old before eventually knocking him [...]

By Simon Hirst: On Saturday night, we started the Super Six Tournament of the super middleweight division with two mouth-watering bouts. From Germany, we had Arthur Abraham vs Jermain Taylor in a battle of the former middleweight champions. Before the fight started, I applaud Taylor for going over to Germany to fight Abraham, a place [...]

By Nikolaj Ovesen: Last night was the opening of the highly anticipated ´Super Six World Boxing Classic´ tournament. In the opening we saw two former Middleweight champions, Arthur Abraham and Jermain Taylor go up against each other, and we saw current Super Middleweight champion Carl Froch go up against Olympic bronze medalist Andre Dirrell. It [...]

By Peter Howells: Last night, Showtime’s revolutionary super six super-middleweight tournament got going with two different bouts and two different fights. I’ll start with the bout from Berlin as fearsome IBF Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham stepped up a weight to take on another former middleweight champion in American star, Jermain Taylor.

By Matt Flanagan: Carl Froch successfully defended his WBC title against Andre Dirrell tonight in their opening fight of the Super 6 tournament. After reading all the repetitive articles on this site, that clearly lacked any objectivity, I was hoping that Froch would knock out Dirrell just to shut him, and a few other people [...]

By Craig Martin: So the first two fights of the Super Six have come and gone. What have we learned? ‘King’ Arthur Abraham has really and truly laid the marker as a genuine winner, even at this early stage. Jermain Taylor, well, the question will no doubt be asked; what has he got left? Carl [...]

By Sam Gregory: In the second bout of the stage 1 Super Six tournament, undefeated WBC champion Carl Froch fought undefeated Andre Dirrell at the Trent FM Arena Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. Round 1 Dirrell came out strong fighting right handed going right to the body; Froch missed with the right hook. Dirrell showed his [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: It looks like Jermain Taylor fell apart against Arthur Abraham tonight, wasting a golden opportunity to pick up an easy win against the limited Abraham. I don’t care if Abraham won. Taylor should have won the fight without any problems if he had fought smart and not traded shots with Abraham. I [...]

By Amar Jahangir: Surprise surprise, after running his mouth so much, unbeaten super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell (18-0, 13 KO’s) has come in over weight today’s weigh in.

Photo by:Tom Casino/SHOWTIME – By Brinsley Bailey: When I first heard about the Super Six Tournament and the fighters participating, I, like many other boxing fans was excited thinking about the major talking points that emerged. “Will Kessler dominate? Can Abraham bring his power up to Super Middleweight? Will Froch establish himself against the best? [...]

By Jordan Stoddart: For a moment, I nearly inserted Greatness in place of Recognition. I will put that down to the hype and excitement of this weekend’s fight, and a slightly biased view from myself of Carl Froch. Actually, cancel that too; I am praying that Froch performs well and can be crowned the savour [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: After having watched every single fight of Andre Dirrell, I know how he be beaten. I might be giving away my secrets by explaining how WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch can beat the talented Dirrell next Saturday night, but I seriously doubt that Froch would a good enough pupil to follow [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: In the latest presser from undefeated Andre Dirrell (18-0, 13 KO’s) today, he sent a searing line drive right down WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch’s throat, saying “I’m going to punch holes in that gasbag [Froch].” Oh boy, I wonder what old Froch is going to say about that. He’s probably [...]
