Anthony is the more fundamentally sound of the two, he switches stances like his brother but doesn't get as reckless and his defense is better as well but obviously Andre's level of opposition has been much better because of Anthony's long layoff.
Will do.
For those of you who didn't know, since it has been mentioned that Anthony Dirrell is fighting on the Angulo card, he is Andre's brother and was out of boxing for 2 years after a cancerous lump was found on his chest. He just returned late last year and it slowly getting back into the swing.
He was considered by many to be the better prospect of the two before he got sick.
What do you think? Is Anthony the better prospect? I have seen a bit of Andre's early work, and it wasn't all that impressive, but his last few outings have been extremely impressive IMO.
what did Zuniga do to deserve a title shot? oh yea, he beat Oganov.
what did Inkin do to deserve a title shot? beat Mario Veit?
what did Balzay do to deserve a title shot? beat...I cant even name anyone.
and what about that last guy that fought Chagaev? Drummond? what did he do?
I dont think Dirrell really has won a title shot either, but hes just as deserving as anyone else that gets a title shot nowadays. especially if youre dealing with the WBO or WBA.
And I wasn't saying that Dirrell wouldn't be a worthy title challenger. I just took exception to the other poster calling the Euro champs frauds when they have wins over world class opponents. The Hanshaw win was impressive, but the Oganove win meant nothing, and the Stevens fight was a visual disaster.
Will do.

No he was not considered to be the better prospect. the top two prospect coming out the 2004 olympics was ANDRE dirrell and andre ward
Speaking of frauds, what the hell has Dirrell done to deserve a title fight? Has he beaten anyone nearly as good as Pascal or Mundine? Or is anyone who fights outside the US considered a fraud?
He beat the shit out of Anthony Hanshaw and Victor Organov to earn his ranking. Looked pretty good in both his fights. Him vs Miranda or Jean Pascal would be a good ass fight if he doesn't fight Balzsay next.
I was thinking and what promoter does Balzsay have? Is it the same as Wlad's? It'd be a nice undercard addition, but I doubt that happens. Hopefully sometime in May it happens. May is pretty wide open for fights right now.

Glad to see title is in his grasp. Now we need the other top young talents to pursue the other belts and force those foreign "frauds"(until proven otherwise) out of the way. SMW is loaded with young gunz! I c HBO is taking notice.

Hope thats true ive been waiting for Dirrell to step up, because he is a good prospect.
I'm gonna hit him up again because I heard Balzsay would be making a defense in Germany first.
I emailed him and he emailed me back saying his next fight would be for the WBO belt and it would be on HBO.

I went to school with Anthony, I want to see Andre go 12 rounds before he have a title fight.
What HS you go to?
I went to college with guys from SW and NW. Earl Thompson and Chris Wilson, you know them?
So I guess the frontrunner in the early precincts is Balszay...
Anyone know anything more?
he's fighting this saturday on the angulo card if i'm not mistaken
