(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup_anim.gif) I also put $200 on a 3 Fight Parlay I was talkin' about in the Betting Thread...Dirrell winning last night was the 1st step...all I need now is for Froch to beat Kessler and Pavlik to beat Martinez...could be a nice hit. Not AS confident about those as I was for last night's fight though... |

CEO... Don't worry about Froch and Kessler, it's a done deal! Last night was a good look for Froch. Im going to lay heavy on Froch... I'm thinking $350. The only other time I bet that large on 1 fight was Chambers-Peter.

I think people consistently underrate Froch.
I like him to make Kessler very uncomfortable and handle him. |

JD, I think people underrate him because of his style and personality. He comes across like "My shit don't stink" prick. Froch is tough though. I think last night made Froch look better because Dirrell had a much tougher time with him than Abe. I really don't see any way Kessler beats him. I think froch has his way with him and may get the stoppage.

His style can be ugly...though he does have skills when he chooses to use them. He has a very good sense of distance, terrific stamina, and a ton of will.
I think Froch - Abraham is going to be a terrific fight. |

QUOTE (STEVENSKI @ Mar 28 2010, 08:32 AM) LOL true words spoken. BTW I don't seem to remember enigma from the old board but good to see a quality poster back who knows their shit. Thanks Brother. I was there but I went away for a few years working on a film and some other things. Method put a gun to my head threatening me to get my ass back here. LOL I use to post on boxinqtalk and the maxboxing boards. I am happy to be back. |

QUOTE (JD @ Mar 28 2010, 01:49 PM) I think people consistently underrate Froch. I like him to make Kessler very uncomfortable and handle him. I can AGREE with that...somewhat...lol He's good for what he is...which is a limited, despicable, determined, mauling spoiler type...in hindsight, it was his unsavory behavior/style that made Dirrell hold and flop the way he did in Nottingham...if Froch hadn't gotten frustrated and assaulted Dirrell the way he did, it could have been so wide that they couldn't even rob him over there...lol I'm basically picking Froch because I know Kessler is mentally and physically soft. |

QUOTE (blackbelt2003 @ Mar 28 2010, 12:53 PM) I've just seen the 11th round only, and it looked to me like a legit reaction to the punch. The shot was a bomb and you can the sudden acceleration in his head as the punch lands. Whether it was a DQ-type situation I'm not sure. Abrhama was pressing forwards, and when you're throwing, the fact that the guy slips to the floor doesn't register...I know this from experience. I guess it would be unfair for Dirrell to NOT call it a DQ, but from a fan standpoint a NC and a rematch would have been ideal. Black What's up Black?! Good points. You know what is amazing about this whole thing is this. Remember the Barrera vs JMM fight? And Barrera hit him while he was down. The ref didn't DQ - he deduced a point from Barrera because JMM was given 5 minutes to recover. I don't know all of the rules but it appears to be that its all up to the Ref to decide if to DQ a fighter or not. Plus whay the Hopkins vs Echols rematch. One guy gets bodyslam, there a late hit on the break, another guy gets drilled behind the head and no DQs - just warnings and points taken away. I have stated many times over I don't know if Dirrell was faking it or not and I don't think King Arthur's shot was dirty. It appeared to my eyes it was as you stated Arthur was pressing forward. I know the feeling from sparring. I would not call Arthur a dirty fighter BUT he is a rough fighter. This is prize fighting not table tennis. The Number one rule: "Protect yourself at all times!" |
