Boxing historian and author Adam Pollack shares his thoughts on Froch vs Dirrell

By BoxingNewsWorld.blogspot.com

Highly respected boxing historian and author of boxing books Adam Pollack has always been very generous to me in sharing his thoughts about boxing.

Here are his thoughts on the upcoming Carl Froch – Andre Dirrell’s fight.

(Quote) “Although Froch is one of the biggest, strongest super middles, I see Dirrell outboxing him to a decision. Dirrell is blazing fast with feet and hands. Still, Dirrell may have a questionable chin, and if he can't keep it up for 12 rounds, Froch will get him like he did with Taylor. However, I think Dirrell will finish the job that Jermain started. Other than how well he handles Froch's power, Dirrell had better not run too much against the hometown boxer, because if he stinks it out, he might lose a decision. But speed is a huge advantage, and Dirrell is a young rocket compared to Froch's turtle.” (Unquote)

Froch and Dirrell will square off at the Trent FM Arena in Froch's home city of Nottingham this Saturday with Froch's WBC super-middleweight belt at stake. The pair is part of the unique Super Six Tournament where six of the top super-middleweights slug it out (in a round-robin format) over the course of two years to determine the identity of the best 168-pounder in the game.
