Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell: Carl Froch is Number One on My Hit List!

[Box Up!]

Firstly, Dirrell didnt beat Froch. He would have taken the decision were it not for his retreat tactics that drew admission of defeat from his own trainer and manager, no less.

I (and many, many others) are opposed to a rematch because Dirrell made that fight sleep enducingly boring. Run, run, run, that’s all he did. It was a horrendous advertisement for boxing.

Another reason is because of his CLEAR get out clause against AA. I absolutely refuse to believe that the rabbit punch effected him as much as he claimed. Seeing him roll about and twitch was embarrassing. He clearly wanted a way out. The annoying thing was until he started getting tired and caught, he was boxing beautifully! Dirrell’s problem is that when someone cracks him on the mooey, his heart just breaks, he wants out. FAST. A man of such DNA – no matter how talented – has no place in a boxing ring.

I respect just about every boxer for simply having the courage to get in the ring, but truthfully Andrew Dirrell is the only boxer i don’t respect.

What about rematching Abraham ?

what, after he had to have a brain transplant after their last fight

I'd be interested in the rematch.

I'll watch just about anything, but given the various matches that haven't been made yet at 68 and 75, and all the talent in the two classes, why redo something ugly before seeing if something else works the first time? Seriously though, Dirrell is a part timer until he proves otherwise.

I actually can't wait for Dirrell to get back in the ring and make his mark on the SMW division. Will be interesting to see the remarks on this board once he starts whooping on fools

I thought Dirrell clearly beat Froch, but it was competitive.

I'd bet my account that Froch probably won't rematch Dirrell again. Dirrell should fight Magee, than return 3-4 months later against someone like Bika/Stevenson/Pavlik, than go for a big title fight against the Abraham/Stiglitz winner or Kessler.

As for Dirrell-Abraham, I love how he "wanted a way out" of a fighter he was clearly winning.

It was a good fight,despite andre dirrel having all the tools to beat abraham , abraham still managed to turn it around and hurt dirrel.
In the later rounds before the faul Dirrel was about to get knocked out.

Abraham was a scary dude to fight, and if dirrel want redemption he should fight him again

Okay Andre, but the conditions are that you've got to go to Nottingham, have a couple blind judges there and a ref who might just take a bull**** point from you.

This fight needs to happen in America or anywhere neutral.

Ah, of course...

I thought the same thing.

Yup, dirrell was dominating early, but then he got floored, and he went back to the scared, running, falling over, ducking and diving style. I didn't see him lasting and sure enough he found a way out

Dirrell got robbed in Nottingham and deserves a rematch
