On the subject of other up and comers though, anybody happen to catch Andre Dirrell this weekend on FNF's? And if so what did you think? I am going to hold off on my opinions for now, but I am curious for others...

Hard to say with Dirrell. One problem with him is that I think he has a bit of a bad attitude. Not sure about that though. Maybe I'm just comparing him too much to Andre Ward, who is considered almost a saint in some circles.

Hard to tell too if Dirrell was just playing with his opponent and that's why it went the distance. I mean, the guy was a personal trainer, for christ's sakes...should have been able to knock him out. The one punch he did throw that did some damage had one of those Sugar Ray Leonard-style windups...not exactly something practical you could use against a quality opponent. I guess his movement and defence were good and that's what he's known for, but overall I still was not that impressed.

I agree actually, I was also not exactly raving about Dirrell after this weekend. He seemed to content to horse around and never really seemed to hurt his opponent. And is it just me or did he look a little clumsy at times when he was trying to slip punches?
