Froch ticket update

[TheCobra]

Your an idiot to be honest dirrell was the one that started bad mouthing froch!! saying he will be the easiest fight..that he is a paper champion...or the fact he said froch is a little worm..and you say froch's statement is pathetic??? dirrell=never been past 10 rounds..hands at his waist..no heart..froch will take dirrell into the trenches and knock him out..i personally think you are joe calzaghe..slagging off carl for retaliating to dirrell

all dirrell is effectively saying is that he don't rate him.

he's been respectful about kessler and abraham.

but least he ain't coming out with the lying awake at night claptrap.

I agree with Gemmell, I think you need to shut up now Mr Hitman it has got a little bit boring lkistening to you moan on about everything Froch says or does, end of the day he's comeing out with stuff to sell the fight, it's pretty much your average Hennessy press release. When you meet Froch in person he's a very level-headed likeable guy and very articulate. I respect him miles more than a 'one-of-lads' 'pound for pound piss head' champ of the world.

Britain’s best pound-for-pound fighter, Carl Froch, defends his WBC super-middleweight title against unbeaten but untested American Andre Dirrell in October.
Froch, unbeaten himself at 25-0 (20), comes off a superb 12-round stoppage of the dangerous and established Jermain Taylor in defence of his title in America in April, climbing off the canvas in the third round to wear down and outlast the favoured home man, who was down himself in the fateful 12th. It was a typical Froch performance: all size, strength and stamina, all workrate, relentlessness and guts, all big right hands, hooks and uppercuts, along with a tantalisingly loose defence. Life with “The Cobra” is certainly never dull. At last the Americans know that.
Now back in his own fortress of Nottingham, Froch won the title with a thrilling decision over the gifted and previously unbeaten Jean Pascal last year, and then came Taylor, so Dirrell, a big, well-built southpaw from Flint in Michigan, will hardly instill any fear into the champion, although he does deserve respect.
Dirrell, 18-0 (13), a sharp boxer-puncher six years younger than the 32-year-old Froch, earned his shot with stoppages of Ohio’s Anthony Hanshaw and Russian puncher Victor Oganov last year. Hanshaw, however, had lost to old man Roy Jones and Oganov to Colombia’s Fulgencio Zuniga, and Dirrell has beaten nobody else of any note. Moreover, Dirrell has NEVER travelled as a pro, although he won Olympic bronze at the 2004 Olympics in Athens (where Amir Khan cruised to the silver). Dirrell still clearly has a lot to prove, and an injury-free Froch is not the kind of man to allow himself to be mentally or physically bullied by anyone, least of all an inexperienced challenger a long way from home.
A clash of unbeaten, ambitious fighters is always fraught with danger - for either man - but in Nottingham, in form, in charge of his division, Froch must be favoured to get to the visitor late on.

hitman thinks dirrell will win

[bennie]

Oh well, they said both wars would be over by Christmas.

[Poncey]

hitman thinks dirrell will win

As do I.

[Adamj1987]

hitman thinks dirrell will win

As do I.

unfortunatly bennie is on the same side as me but we'll see wont we em

[Dioufy]

Bennie, I love you for some bizarre reason, but come on, dude, Haye or Hatton is our best P4P fighter at the moment.

[THEBUTCH]

I agree with what Bennie says, which is afterall opinion.

Froch's wins over Pascal and Taylor surpass Haye and Hatton's recent wins IMO.

[Dioufy]

Haye's wins and the manner of them over Gurov, Macca, Mormeck, Frago (who's now a world champ) annd Barrett at heavyweight is better than Pascal and a horrendous performence against Taylor, although the finish will live with me forever.

"OH MY GOODNESS!!!"

Anyone know how much the cheapest overnight car parking is in nottingham centre, as the hotels dont seem to have car parks, not the ones ive looked at.

Fletcher gate or stoney gate car parks are nearest to the arena. not sure how much for overnight though

Stay here for not much more money lads:

Top top hotel and about 3 mins from arean on foot. 2 mins from NCP.

If you want a few upmarket beverages then Living Room, Pitcher & Piano, HaHa bar and for Mojito's and cocktails, Brass Monkey bar (about 6 minutes walk from Arena entrance) :-

Or if you want to eat and stay in one spot, then Hooters is about 12-15 mins staggering distance:-

hatton cuts to the chase in pre fight comments.

he doesn't come up with embarassing shat like that.

plus he's not an up his own arse personality like froch is.

At least Froch didn't insult us with WBU belts. Although I agree that his smacktalk leaves something to be desired. I think he'll get to Direll late, Direll hasn't been past the 8th round before.

Dirrell went 10 rounds against Curtis Stevens.
