Mayweather fans: Did you all appreciate Andre Dirrell's performance?

[mrmazivent]

Andre Dirrell is a talented fighter, and he did what he had to do to win.....I dont like fighters who run either, but he stuck to his gameplan really well, and outpointed Curtis....If he would have gave the fans what they wanted, he would have not won the fight....

[SquareCircle]

He ran the whole fight though, that isn't a good way to win. If running is considered the sweet science then anyone can go in, jab and run. Why would Dirrell take this fight if he planned on running at all? Boxing matchmakers needs to do more strategic matchups. I hate all this 5 organization crap.

It's the one way for a taller man to fight a hard hitter and guarantee you won't get hit. Stevens best weapon is the right cross aka straight right hand. He paws with the left like an early Lewis did for rangefinding purposes and then explodes on the target when within range. Gotta keep moving away and out of range of that punch for it to never land.

The sweet science is defined as hitting and not getting hit. That's what Dirrell did, so it goes in that category. I do appreciate a guy making the other guy miss on the inside more than I do on the outside, I do admit.

edit- PS- Curtis Stevens has a huge fist, it's like heavyweight sized

just give me the ****in pics,before I expose you.

I'll only post more if you behave.
Diss me - like you're doing - and you get nothing.

Roy Jones Jr is arguably one of the best boxers ever, I love watching his fights, except those last two tarver fights

Dirrell did run, but it's also Steven's job to cut the ring off and stop him from running. He could of been a bit more agressive.

Lewis is just too nice. He needs to be honest. Thats why you gotta love Larry.

lol is the best in all honesty.....a jackass sometimes but that's his way of words, dirrell performed like a clown out there, the ref should of deducted a poit or two for not fighting

You make some good points, but like how Merchant said... it seemed more like Dirrell was focusing on not getting hit and hitting vs. hitting and not getting hit. The ref even stopped them for a second or two to tell them to fight.

I actually liked watching this fight. Not because of what was going on in the ring, but because it was funny to hear the commentators talking about what a terrible fight it was.
"The worst round I've ever seen" - Harold Letterman
Then lewis asks him "why are you giving him the round?" and Harold responds
"Cuz the other guy is doing less" BWAHAHAHAHAH

Ring generalship is something the judges look for, correct? I'm not saying it was an exciting fight, but if Stevens had cut off the ring off better, he could have forced Dirrell to fight his fight.

Whaaaat? So now you're blaming Stevens?





How do cut this off? Ok then.
