Dirrell Offers Columbus Day Message To Froch

 
"HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY, CARL FROCH.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO DISCOVER THAT YOU'RE
IN OVER YOUR HEAD WITH ME!"
- "The Matrix" Andre Dirrell
 
 

            NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND (Columbus Day 2009) -- Like Christopher Columbus, World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight champion CARL "The Cobra" FROCH is about to make a new discovery, courtesy undefeated No. 1 contender and American Dream "The Matrix" ANDRE DIRRELL.  Froch and Dirrell battle for the world title This Saturday!  October 17,  live on SHOWTIME® from the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham, England, beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast). The battle of unbeatens -- the second half of a doubleheader on SHOWTIME® -- will be the first fight for Froch and Dirrell in the Super Six World Boxing Classic.

 

            "Froch is going to discover on October 17 that his new world really is flat ... flat on his back," said Dirrell.  "I'm going to expose him like a "Page 3" pinup in The Sun.  I've had my best training camp ever and I'm ready to shiver Froch's timbers from stem to stern.  This is step one in showing that I am the heir apparent to the throne Joe Calzaghe vacated as the king of the super middleweight division, something Froch has never been able to achieve.  I'm going to slam Froch from both sides of the plate.  I'm going to go Mickey Mantle on him! Remember this...Carl Froch can kiss my Yankee Doodle!"

#1 PacFan 15-2-1 in "09:  Wow! I love it! Talking smack a week before a fight is great. This fight has got drama written all over it and I can't wait. But Dirrell is wrong when he says he's going to expose Froch. Taylor has done it already.

Frank Z:  I';ve said it before, dirrell better win now, and i think he can, as long as he can make sure he stops froch's charge late. I also notice he tends to pull straight back to get away from punches with his hands down. it better be careful with that vs. froch cause froch can hit, even if he'[s not that accurate.

Angie And Goody...23 Years Later
Twenty three years later after they seconded Marvin Hagler and Ray Leonard in Las Vegas, Goody Petronelli and Angelo Dundee crossed paths again. This time, it was at Foxwoods. Photo/friend of TSS "The Iceman" John Scully reports there were only pleasantries exchanged. Goody didn't debate the split decision victory enjoyed by Leonard, which to this day Hagler disputes.
