andre direll haters plz stand up

[Sweet Pea 50]

If I recall correctly, myself and John Scully where the only people that didn't hate on Dirrell.

Its funny how people come out praising him now that he put on a good show.

I never hated on Dirrell....
Who cares? The man put on an impressive performance tonight. Hats off to him...

see i didnt mind the stevens fight that much...he still looked smooth

He stunk out the house that night. But boxing is all about redemption and Dirrell took a big step forward against Hanshaw.

i agree with what ppl said for the most part

[Hitman932]

ive been syaing dirrell was the deal and i said he would embarass hanshaw

all you muther ****ers can lick my balls

now youll be all over dirrell like he is "paul williams"

bandwagone jumping losers.

u can apologize now

i will say that he made up for that stevens fight, but no way in hell would i take back what i said or how i felt, his fight with stevens deserved every bit of criticism, and you know what, like a professional, he learned from that mistake and didn't make the same mistake, so full credit given there to direll.

all he's gotta do is keep it up and don't have any more of those mega stinkers again, because that fight was enough to keep someone off the air for good. luckily for him he was able to bounce back...........

Maybe on this board, but Dirrell has some fans. I've written articles calling out his haters on a less busy site and I've paid to see him live twice. He's a bronze medalist. He has fans.

On a side note, I've gotten myself banned asking Diva Dan Rafael about Dirrell in his chats. I'm planning on getting myself banned again next Friday. LMFAO.

I've been watching Andre Dirrell since he was an amateur. He fought the same way he's always fought. The only difference between this fight and the Stevens fight was that he was able to catch Hanshaw in this fight.

Andre Dirrell will always be the same. He uses his reach, speed and ring intelligence to try to trap his opponent. If he can't trap his opponent, he'll outbox them. If he can lay the trap and catch them then he'll knock them out.

Anyone who thinks their criticism led to Dirrell putting on the more exciting performance probably needs to check his ego at the door.

easy there guy, the stevens fight was a stinker and he was called out on it, the same way a lot of fighters get called out on their stink performances, it's usually and mostly in part to the fact that when they had a stinkfest of a fight, they were in a position to make the fight exciting, but didn't. hence the criticism. it goes a part with his job as being professional, criticism. now, stevens pressured direll and hanshaw pressured direll, completely different outcomes, total opposites of the spectrum. was it because direll was the same old him? or did he open up a bit more and take advantages where he saw he could? i lean more towards the second. i think in order for him to have a successful career he needs to get that fight with stevens out of peoples minds, and not have another like it. this win was the first step towards that.
the ego stays.................
