Andre Dirrell and Andre Ward @ SMW

dirrell has a bright and big future...........ward is overrated. when he steps it up he will get OWNED

I want both of them to step up now, or in Dirrell's case, step back up, I've been disappointed in his opposition since Hanshaw. It's time for Ward to step up as well. They both have quite a lot of potential.

Both of them are good fighters, both have potential, and considering their ages and experience level both should step up now. Maybe not step up all the way, right away, but both guys should be looking for a challenge they can get excited about.

Based on what I have seen Dirrell is clearly the better fighter. Dirrell fights equally well out of both southpaw and orthodox stances, he is quicker than Ward and has even shown better one punch power than Ward. Looking at their styles I also expect Ward to end up taking more shots when he steps up while Dirrell will always be able to use his legs to get out of trouble. Im surprised Dirrell doesnt get more attention on this forum, he certainly one of the most talented fighters ive seen in and around that weight class. Great footwork and can switch hit too, serious potential there. Not enough head movement though, he might get caught by a ones of those wide looping shots when he's on the back foot.

I like both this will definatly be a good fight, my pick is Andre Ward at present but its very close.
