You made a good case for Froch a poor case for Dirrell and then picked Dirrell anyway. You should have learnt from the Taylor fight not to pick against Froch but obviously you need another lesson! Dirrell has only been in with guys who were much smaller that he could keep on the end of his jab. The exception to this was Hanshaw who didn’t possess the same power as Froch. If he had, Dirrell wouldn’t have made it out of the first round when Hanshaw had him down. Froch will break Dirrell within 10 rounds, you can count on it.

Why can’t you see that happening Chris?

Taylor did it for 11 rounds. Dirrell is far more slick than Taylor.

As for home “court” advantage. I don’t really think much of it.
Perhaps Froch gets the benefit of the doubt on an extra round from the judges but I think if this fight goes the distance, it’s Dirrell’s.

Home court advantage and the fact that to take away a champions title you have to be the clear victor. I’m struggling to see how Dirrell will do that by pot-shotting and running, unless he decides to grow a pair.

Froch will KO or TKO Dirrell.

Carl by decision. You are underestimating the home court advantage. This is important in tennis, football and ESPECIALLY boxing.
