They surely won't fight each other, right? Klitschko situation all over again.
I also remember back in 2010, the fight many hardcore fans wanted to see was Andre Dirrell vs Ward. That never happened, but now maybe if Ward gets his promotional shit sorted out, we'll finally see him in the ring with at least one Dirrell brother. Kickass.
The Dirrell brothers will NEVER fight one another...They are extremely close much like the Klitchko & Charlo siblings...
Furthermore, when they HAVE sparred in the past it has always escalated into them trying to kill each other...Similar to Chris & Pat Byrd, another set of former professional fighting bros.
who were banned by their trainer(dad Joe Byrd) from sparring because the sessions always turned ugly...
BTW...those sparring sessions between the Byrd boys were some of the most brutal, physical encounters I have EVER SEEN in person...
No way does Anthony best his brother...Dre been kicking Ants azz their whole life...Nothings changed
Let's be honest Andre Dirrell is at least second to Ward in this division, not Carl the bum Froch. Froch would had fought Dirrell in the United States it would had been properly scored. Rabbit punches, low blows and mma tactics are not legal in actual boxing matches but alas UK boxing is third rate compared to the States, so I excuse the officials ignorance.. Also when Dirrell scored that knockdown it would had counted. Froch lost that fight 111-116 in favor of Dirrell easily. That's the only knock on Dirrells record and it's a robbery.
Then Abraham did him dirty, frustrated because he couldn't touch Dirrell going to hit a Dirrell that's trying to recover to his feet from slipping on a wet ring that was in Abrahams corner. Europe has been dirty to the American through and through so it actually cracks me up when some of those UK Brit fans in here try to suggest that Andre is less than.
It's funny how they also try to **** on Ward, when their man Froch ducked him for some overhyped Groves who beat a new hyped up Limey Brit in James Degale.
I have tried to erase the two Bika fights from my memory but didn't Anthony try to cruise and run in the late rounds because he thought he had the fight in the bag? He did something gay like that. I remember scoring the first fight for Bika.
:lol1: The idiot spent the entire 12th round running and celebrating as if he had the fight in the bag.
The idea of brothers fighting each other is stupid and ridiculous. Only an unreasonable idiot with no heart and no sense of family loyalty would insist that brothers fight each other so they can know who is the real champ. I doubt this will become a problem with the Dirrell brothers because I don't think they are good enough to win and hold all the belts for long especially Andre Dirrell. The Dirrell brothers or any other pro fighting brothers should NEVER be asked to fight each other for ANY REASON.
I never said it should happen. Granted, I was one of those bloodthirsty ghouls many years ago who wanted to see the Klitschkos fight each other, but that's a long time ago and I no longer think that way. Same goes for the Dirrell (and Charlo) brothers, unless they actually want to fight each other...

I dont think he cruised. Bika just beat him in a close fight. At least that's my recollection.

I had the first fight for Bika as well. Awful stuff, and the longer in the past it remains, the better. I was half-asleep for the rematch, but I do remember Dirrell pulling it together during most of the fight and winning clearly. Even looked good in spots.
But even with Anthony's shortcomings, Groves will fall apart again when it matters.

To be honest, I don't see either of them being long reigning champions like the Klitschkos.
I don't either, but we could see a case in 2015-16 where they'll hang around as champions making few or no defences, then either one or both move up to 175; Andre most likely first, since he fought there recently. It won't be anything special.
Anthony is sh1t. Unless they feed him bums for years, he's losing that belt soon. He might even lose it to Ugly Kid. That's a 50/50 fight.
He isn't as outright talented as Andre, and I've only seen the Bika fights, but he seems like a tough bastard when it matters; whereas Groves has looked so shook by the Froch losses that he's more likely to be the one to fall apart on the big stage again. I thought he was brilliant from 2011 until the later rounds of the first Froch fight, but since then he's been proper gunshy and not using his skills.
I like Andre, he's actually talented and could be a superstar but his mental game is weak - doesn't strike me as a long reigning champion. He'll find a way to lose.
Such an inconsistent guy overall, in and out of the ring. He was looking stellar against Abraham, only to fall apart down the stretch and... well, all that other crap. Then he looks to be on his way back with Fiddy, but no. Reminds me of Khabib Allakhverdiev, who had one fight of brilliance a long time ago, but nothing else to show for it.
Regardless, DeGale-Andre is one of the best 'pure' match-ups that can be made this year. Oodles of talent in one ring, but also a potential stinker of a fight; I hope not.

It would be pretty ****ed up since they won't fight each other and they won't fight Ward either because Jay-Z's beefing with Haymon.
So I guess there won't be unified champ anytime soon in 168 if both Dirrels win world title. And the fourth champion Abraham... Lol, he clearly won't fight outside of Germany with any of those guys.
Maybe if the sanctioning bodies will force the thing someone will collect the three main belts, but idk...
Didn't Andre dirrel fake an injury to duck ward?
And yea this situation is different....they aren't 1 and 2 like wlad and vitali were and it's a much less historical and illustrious division
And of course Andre and Anthony won't fight.
