Following Andre Dirells career, he as always been a top tier prospect and was favored over andre ward at one point.
I noticed the late punch by arthur abraham in the super six. Ever since that point dirrell never seemed the same.
what happened to his career? Did that punch really ruin him?
I don't believe that. One hard punch shouldn't ruin a boxer. I think he was overrated to begin with. He never had much toughness or desire to fight through trouble. Froch showed that when he almost chased him out of the ring. He uses his fast hands to land some punches and then clinch or run. He is not going to ever do well in a real war against a good game tough boxer. He is just a contender and not at the championship level.
Dirrell fights a lot like Saunders...but with a far better resume.
Could see that but Saunders seems to have more about him.
Never seen Saunders look like a deer in the headlights like Dirrell did with Froch and Abraham.
HIs career seemed to instantly go down hill after that fight
A lot of inactivity I guess may have played a part.
I don't think the punch did much effect. He had already shown signs that he was going to struggle at the top level prior to it
Not sure if he had the heart for it. Definitely had the talent but not the rest.
Either you're trolling or don't watch much boxing.
UUMMMMM I think you're trolling kido.
"Dirrell took a 21-month layoff to heal from the neurological injuries sustained in the Abraham fight. Dirrell defeated Darryl Cunningham via second-round technical knockout."
He beat a jourey man then lost to degale you scrub.
His career was never the same FACT
Either you're trolling or don't watch much boxing.
Don't question anybodies boxing knowledge when you are ducking this
Why have you gone silent on the "facts" you provided? Is it because you were exposed as lacking basic knowledge and/or lying? I just want an answer. You asked the question and I answered. Just pay me the courtesy of explaining yourself.
I just want to know why you lied or lacked the necessary knowledge to make an incorrect statement when you claim to be a boxing authority.
Is Usyk a champion? Is a reigning champion? Is Davis a champion currently?
So which of the following applies to you -
1 - You lack basic knowledge and didn't know something which is documented by facts
or
2 - You lied.
1 or 2 and there is no other answer. Don't duck the question.
I am happy to answer any follow-up questions after you answer me. I am also happy to help educate you further on the sport if you feel you require further knowledge after I just exposed you lies and/or lack of basic boxing knowledge.
Nah he's just a talented fighter who lacks IQ and struggles to keep it together at times and costs him in fights.
