Cobra insists American is trash talking to mask his insecurity
Carl Froch says Andre Dirrell is talking trash in the countdown to Saturday's huge clash to mask his own insecurity.
Andre Dirrell continued his war of words with the unbeaten WBC super-middleweight king by saying he'll expose the Nottingham fighter "like a Page 3 pin-up" at the Trent FM Arena.
Froch launches his Super Six campaign with his second title defence against the unbeaten American hotshot, who has already fired a number of verbal volleys across the Atlantic prior to his arrival in Nottingham.
Froch though believes that the talk emanating from the challenger is all a front.
"I think it's a case of his mouth writing cheques that his butt can't cash," said Froch.
"All this trash talk from him this close to the fight only confirms the first impressions I had of him when we all met up in New York to launch the Super Six.
Lonely
"I think all the big talk is just to mask his own insecurities that maybe he's not ready for this level. It sounds like he'd sooner take me on at baseball then step in to a ring with me.
"I think it's dawned on him that now he has to step into the ring with the world's best fighters and maybe he's starting to doubt his own ability.
"If that's the case then the last place he needs to be next Saturday night is in a boxing ring at the Trent FM Arena, in front of 10,000 Cobra fans and with me standing in the opposite corner.
"It's going to be a very, very lonely place for him and all the talk in the world will count for nothing when that first bell rings."
