Man, Dirrell is fast as hell

Steak18y ago

that guys got some quick hands! he looked waaaay more impressive fightin Hanshaw than he did Stevens, where all he did was run away. he doesnt even fight effectively that way, he tried it against Hanshaw in round 1 and he was paying for it. I have to admit, I was pretty impressed with him tonight. hopefully he continues to fight aggressively. I feel like I did a complete 180 with the guy, thought he was gonna be nothing good, but now I feel like hes a great prospect. I like seeing that he has fast hands instead of fast feet. much better to watch. I wonder how old he is?

Yeah I saw the "great" andre dirrell. he was at the top rankk gym working out. kelly pavlik happened to show up. they sparred one round and kely hurt him to the body. andre finished the round then left the ring. he didnt come back to the gym till pavlik left a week later. i wll say this though. Kelly is famous for clearing out the top rank gym when he comes to won. everyone from 154 to 190 makes a hasty exit.

For those who like it, or not, there is nobody in Boxing who has faster hands. This kid might go down as one of the bigger wastes to ever lace up.

dirrell will beat one more ass and he will be the forums next "paul williams" Are you giving him a compliment with this, or are you calling him hype.

for any of you who havent seen Dirrell in training let me tell you!About afew months back he was in michigan again I got a chance to watch him workout! All i gotta say is the dude was just all talent on the mitts! I didnt even know who he was when i first saw him but it was one of those type of things where you can feel the punches as there hitting the mitts! michigan is the boxing state. floyd mayweather, james toney, chris byrd, johnathon banks and now arriving on the scene.... andre dirrell

I was pretty impressed with his performance. I'm still on the fence with him, because this is only one fight but he's got me on the fence atleast. Hopefully, he keeps the level at the same level or higher and doesn't run so much. Good for him, good fight.

Tremendous handspeed. Dare I say, Jr.-esque? Well, maybe not. Maybe not...
