Thats it. It needed a seperate thread to show the dominance of European super middleweights.

This is what a winner looks like

Here are some quotes from Froch.

"Dirrell was a very fast southpaw, a rangy counter-puncher who was an absolute nightmare to face. If you couple all that with his negativity, you are going to get a bit of a dud fight."

"People think I'm a warmonger who likes guerrilla warfare. I can do that if necessary but if everyone thinks that is all I've got, they're wrong. I've just outboxed the best American there is to offer. You can't run, keep safe and stay out of trouble like he did. That is amateur boxing, this is professional boxing."

"Dirrell felt very weak in close. He was like a rag doll and I could have snapped him in half as soon I put any weight on him. Every time I clipped him he felt it. He was so negative, always running because he was feeling the shots."

"I was a little disappointed with the general performance but I'm not hurt and never took any knocks. But it was dissatisfying for someone like me who is a warrior and wants a trade-off. I like an opponent to stand there and fight and my next opponent, Mikkel Kessler, will do that and give the fans what they want."

"Styles make fights and Dirrell brought so much negativity to this fight that it would have been a hard night for Kessler, Joe Calzaghe or any great champion. But I won and retained my title. I did what I had to do and beat a top American - and no one can argue with that."

"This win will give me confidence for the whole series. I am satisfied and confident of doing what I want to do by winning the whole tournament."

Joe Calzhage had his hands full with a shot to hell Charles Brewer..

Kessler couldn't even stop washed-up LIGHTWEIGHT Dingaan Thobela or glass-jawed Anthony Mundine.

Froch was hurt several times in that fight and didn't land enough to beat anybody outside of Nottingham.
