dirrell ran from froch all night, basically turned it into a farce on purpose, on the opening night of super 6. dirrell will try and do this to abraham, kessler, ward, taylor or whoever. it will be fvcking ugly. there is ray of hope - he's found out he won't be rewarded for such negativity.

you conveniently leave out froch v pascal and taylor, lad! they are a bit more lively than kotelnik, who fought with the enthusiasm of a young lad being made to eat a bowl of grey porridge slop.

Well Amir,

In the last two years you have been banned for 40 odd days for driving your super-charged Range Rover at 150+ MPH and have also knocked over an maimed an old guy using a pelican crossing.

Then the other week you crashed into a cyclist :-

Image

In the meantime everyone from Bunce to the whole of internet land declared your fight with the hand-picked weakest 140lb champion in Kotlenik a bore and that it goes without saying your glass chin was utterly exposed by the unheralded Breidis Prescott.

Whilst Breidis still lives in slum, you live in an apartment block with P-diddy and Snoop Dogg.

And dont get me started on your treatment and subsequent gagging order on Oliver Harrison, a damn good trainer who deserved better than that.

Your a turd.

Couldn`t agree more. Is this jealously because Froch and Murray have total respect from boxing fans?

Frochs a clown and the most overated fighter in the UK, and murray is just trying to make a career for himself off khans back.

If murray spent as much time trying to get some decent fights as he does complaining that olympic and world champion amir khan hasnt wasted his time knocking him out, then he might get himself on the world stage and finally earn the chance to get in the ring with khan.

The problem is the english public like to blame there problems on everyone else getting it easier.. People on the council estates complain the polish are taking there jobs and what not. They could just get off their arses work hard, train hard and search for a job, but they would rather sit at home blaming their lives on others. Thats why murray is supported, because he sitts about complaining he's hard done by.

Thats how murray is, boo hoo khan doesnt have to fight for no money in small halls because hes got a silver medal and worldwide interest, poor me. He should be saying im going to smash up every fighter i meet, take the european title and then take a world title, then when ive got that it might be lucrative for Khan to fight me. Not khan should fight me for pennies when he could be earning millions and put his career on the line in a fight noone outside england cares about just so i might get on the world stage for it.

And then people complain that Khan is taking the easy route, when murray is trying to do the same thing but cant.

Same with Audley Harrison, the people in this country support the underdog and seem to hate the real champions or anyone who gets beaten at any point, if Calzaghe had been English rather than Welsh i bet he would have the same problem. The scots and the welsh always back their champions, and i remember when Calzaghe fought robin reed he got loads of flack from the english supporters.
that's it, let's wait for john murray and carl froch to "turn their backs on the UK" due to fan hatred and bitterness :lol:

audley proved to be rubbish and amir was knocked out in a round on his PPV debut. you have a lot of faith?

murray was in the same weight as khan, and it obviously is a big gain fight for him, so why is he out of order for wanting the fight?

one bad night and you utterly overreact saying Froch's britain's "most overrated". were you jumpig in that khan was overrated after being sent forward 5 minutes in time from a prescott barrage?

also, how would you know what "murray is trying to do", and how would you know "how much time" he is spending complaining about khan compared to the time he spends trying to get good opponents? i was under the impression that the promoter lines up the opponents. FFS, murray has been like Scrappy Doo, "let me at him, let me at him" in trying to get hold of even jon thaxton. do you know the frustration he and his trainer have had trying to get fights they want?

I don't normally go for insults but you're talking rubbish. & i had to change "wank" to rubbish.

think that's a bit OTT. hopefully there is a more efficient fighter at cutting the ring down, closing the range, getting fast shots off: and wiping dirrell out. and if this person achieves this, it doesn't mean they can do same to froch - froch may have answer for him... dirrell just tried to shut froch's offense down but doing nothig active himself. what's happened to froch is as bad as some of the things that happened to lewis, i..e the akinwande farce, the mccall farce. somebody fvcks up, somebody shits it, makes the british fighter look bad. it's as bad as derrick ganier v marquez, marquez landed little also, but obviously got his shots off a bit more gracefully.

Bollocks.

Dirrell outlanded Froch. Dirrell hurt Froch. Take off the "Oh he's a pressure fighter so he must be winning" blinkers for six minutes & watch the tenth & eleventh round again.

I am not talking about what another fighter might do to Dirrell, but what Froch failed to do to him.

Exaclty the opinion i would expect you to have. I noticed you missed out the bit about Harrison winning an olympic gold medal for his country and Khan winning a silver and then going on to take a world title.

Compared to froch who's beaten one good fighter and is likely to be not only beaten but completely schooled in his next fight and murray who beat? who? thaxton, a fighter who is not on the same level as prescott and has been nothing more than test fight for up and coming fighters for the last 3 years. Respect!

Well, it bloody well is..

If Amir Khan was a white guy called Dave Smith and he won the olympic silver medal and boxed Koletniks head off to win the WBA world light welterweight title - there would be six million posts about him about his future superstar potential.

It has nothing to do about not being a fan - be a fan of who you want but when you start to talk about 'hating' a fighter then people need to get a grip.

The way he was booed in Vegas by his own countrymen - what the yanks must have thought is beyond me...

Everybody knows why... it doesn't take Einstein.

And when somebody does KO Khan - It won't be John Murray - :lol: A boxer who will be very lucky to get past EBU title level. :TU:

sounds like a real whiner to me. i.e. "i'm going & it's THEIR fault", "blame them!"

blody hell, khan is probably one of the most fortunate sportsmen in the UK - he must be on bloody good money even though he's not exactly a superstar. gets put on big shows, gets put on PPV. perhaps the plan is an american campaign, because of less than stellar PPV sales and (rumoured) unimpressive live gate for his fights over here?

carl froch has beaten one good fighter? dirrell is technically a good fighter, despite negativity. and pascal and taylor are also good fighters.

murray is about 24 yo with 4 dominant british level wins, these same 4 wins being vs fighters ranked in the EBU top 10, some of whom are really light welters, not super feathers (you know what i mean). he wanted prescott, he wants katsidis, so it's up to the promoter to deliver the fights.

that last bit is pure conjecture. i totally disagree so we will have to see.

khan is successful, but he's not exciting. that leaves me utterly indifferent to his fights. i can't help it. maybe i just don't have a pulse. maybe i'm jaded. maybe i burned myself out eating kebabs with industrial strength chilli sauce and can only watch "sluggers and pressure fighters."

now there seems to be some genuine dislike. fair enough. i did actually feel bad for him when he was being booed in vegas. he really seemed to flinch. but what is the dislike, the bitterness that kahn is on about? he doesn't specify, does he? froch is obviously aperson who wanted thaxton to KO khan, and who feels he, not khan, should be recognised as the top fighter in britain. froch has a good claim, but unfotunately he had a misfire t'other week (that doesn't mean that every fight will be like that, just as every khan fight @ world level won't be like prescott).

as to murray, he was once a rival lightweight, so i don't see what the problem is. yes, it is business, and murray doesn't bring enough reward compared to risk level. khan could just as easily fight alex arthur. it would mean as much in terms of business as murray, fvck the hardcore fan because we don't buy a massive percentage of the PPVs and tickets. as a fan of murray, as someoen who knows his trainer, i can't wait for murray to win something big. perhaps khan might run into a loss and then want a murray fight, one day. everything changes in boxing and i'd love to see shoe on t'other foot. even if so, you can bet khan has to have the home fighter advantage, the big ring, and a rematch clause.

i hope murray - or his PR person - responds: Amir Khan is going to America to run away from me.

I don't normally go for insults but you're talking rubbish. & i had to change "wank" to rubbish.

Your comparing me to your mentality, i said froch was overated far before the other night, its been glaringly obvious he cant fight anyone with a high workrate or movement from the start of his career and has just masked that from dim witted people by saying khan and calzaghe arent any good..

And murray gets infront of the camera and says i want to fight this person and that person. What does he actually bring to the table? If he wanted it that bad and as you say he cant get a fight sorted because of his promoter, why doesnt he go and sign to someone decent, Hatton and wazza are both out there signing people.

David Haye managed to do it for himself, he didnt just get on camera and moan he cant get a fight with anyone good, he went out hunted them down and harrassed them in public. Then delivered something exciting in the ring, not just very good, but very plain boxing skills like murray, Haye was fighting crap fighters too he just made those fights exciting.

who ever was complaining about prescot living in a slum while khan lives in the same block as snoops dog is and idiot and is displaying exactly the mentality i was complaining about in my post. I live in apartment, wayne rooney lives in a mansion - thats life.

If murray wants to prove himself why doesnt he fight prescot. I'll tell you - because he has already got on camera and said i want to fight prescot but then made no effort to get it sorted OR prescot heard murray wanted to fight him and said "who the hell is murray?".

re froch. froch can't fight anyone with workrate or movement? funny, you use the world FIGHT. it looked to me that dirrell -the man with the movement - could neither fight nor box v froch. that running and those weak pea shooter punchers that stop short of target or simply touch the face isn't boxing. it's a manufactured athlete terrifying himself through 12 jittery rounds.

you seldom see that level of negativity in world class boxing. it is a rarity, and i feel bad for froch, that his super 6 opener came vs such a horirble fighter.

can amir fight anyone with a punch? not long ago the Q was could he fight a domestic opponent who wasn't coming off a KO loss or moving up from 130...

Inventing things makes your argument redundant, you do know that don't you? If they were such weak punches, why was Frochy cringing away from them & getting rattled by them?

Lol you talk some rubbish, you want to watch prize fighter level performances by the sounds of it. Dirrell clearly ran away form froch for the first 9 rounds but froch couldnt close him down (that doesnt exactly scream world class to me) and then when dirrell did decide to box he clearly beat dazzled and beat froch with ease. One more round like that and he would have won the fight.

Khan cant fight anyone with a punch hmm he knocked out quite a few punchers limond for a start.

You rarely see that type of fighting in world class fights hhmmmmm the name Floyd Mayweather Jr springs to mind, have you ever heard of him.

many of dirrell's shots were not great punches. often they stop slightly sort of the target or simply bounce off targte uselessly as he doesn't try to hit THROUGH the target. they are flashy movie style shots with not a great deal of practical use. in boxing you are taught to hit through the targte, not at the target. dirrell is pulling back becfore the punch can land. he could be in the wrong sport because he refuses to risk getting hit.

But those in the tenth & eleventh clearly troubled Froch. Were those movie-style shots? Does that mean Froch took them in a movie-style manner?

Whilst it suits whatever bizarre machination you're attempting when you whitewash all of his punches in that manner, it only makes you look silly & closes my ears to everything else you ever say about, well, everything.
