BIGPOPPAPUMP

One potential option for WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (26-0, 14KOs) is fellow 2004 US Olympian Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14KOs). Both men entered the Super Six Tournament but due to an injury, Dirrell was forced to pull out prematurely and has been rather inactive the last 2 and half years. [Click Here To Read More]

This would be my first choice for Ward's next fight.

Has Dirrell fought since the Abraham fight? I don't even know.

Good response.

People know who dirrel is.. he may have a little ground to make up but Ward ain't selling tickets like that lol.. he is not a shot caller. I'd say If anything Dirrel is only a couple fights away all he really has to do is beat somebody with a name but that's hard to come by at 168..

To me that fight needs to be built up a bit. Very few would pick Dirrell to win and if Ward doesn't kill Dirrell it will get looked down on.

Dirrell needs to be a more respected opponent for the fight to really make sense, there is a certain group that will never respect Dirrell but if he beats a couple solid guys he could be thought of as a quality win.

Ward cruises to wide UD. Dirrell blames ref/injury/location/judges for loss; continues to call out Froch.

Dirrell needs to stay away from tough guys like Ward and Froch as they will smash his fragile confidence and he will need more time around Floyd and Dr. Shaw Hi.
