Why do americans love dirrells style but hate junior witters?

[larry x]

dirrell has skills but that fight saturday was awful..dirrell didnt lose..but he didnt deserve to win either

[xAUGUSTUSx]

Dirrell is hands down a better all around fighter than Junior Witter. Witter has little to no pop where as Dirrell can get you out of there if he would sit down more. After the point deduction Dirrell was a different fighter. The Dirrell that we saw after the point deduction and the Dirrell we saw against Hanshaw is an elite fighter.

The backing up and running Dirrell is a ***** and deserves all the scorn he gets.

It is really agonizing because we have seen enough of the good Dirrell to know how good he could really be if he would sit and fight a little more. I do like his defense and athleticism in the ring but he uses as too much of a crutch rather than using it to set up his elite offensive skills. I think this comes from his training. Although his grandfather has been a great influence on his and Anthony's lives, maybe it is time he got with a world class trainer who could break Dirrell back down and eliminate the amateurness in his game and capitalize on his elite god given skills.

With all that said, Froch was just as terrible in different ways. Froch was severely slow and fought like a caveman. Honestly, Froch's slowness alloed Dirrell to get away with his ****. It should have been a very easy fight for Dirrell and he gave it away to an inferior fighter. No way Dirrell can expect to win a decision in a champion's backyard fighting the way he did. The judges got it right.

You obviously have'nt seen very many Witter fights so you really don't have a say.

Witter did the same thing when he fought zab judah and ran all night but all he got were americans calling him a coward and *****, but when dirrell does it you yanks cream your pants over it.

no hate I just want to know whats the difference

Generalize much?

americans dont love dirrellss style we just hate to see a guy get robbed. i am not a fan of dirrell at all and ever since that horrible performance against curtis stevens i have been wanting to see him get kod but he won that fight

So you'd all be hating on dirrel right now if he had won a dodgy decision agaisnt froch?

I have see Witter fight 6 times. I think that is more than enough times to have a say. Thanks for playing.

Dirrel is more accurate. And witter is not that bad.

I love it when people just straight up lie in threads. "Why do Americans love Dirrell's style?" LOL

[joartcc5]

American double standards.

ALthough u have to consider most of the posters here are young kids who just got into boxing for about a few months.

I haven't seen any Americans post that they liked the way Dirrell fought. It's just that out of two unimpressive performances one performance was CLEARLY more unimpressive than the other

co-sign. I don't know of anyone who LOVES Dirrell's style. I'm sure he has his fans, but it's not like he carries a nation of followers into every fight.
