    I knew Dirrell had the speed, footwork, etc to totally outbox Abraham.

    What Ward did to Kessler was totally unexpected, he dominated him easily through 11 rounds, Kessler looked lost in there.
    I just rewatched the fight today. Kessler was awful and so predictable.

      And then the crude, primitive Froch exposed him as a raging ****. That was a surprise.
      I thought Dirrell, outboxed, outpunched, outlanded, and beat Froch. There's no way Froch beats Dirrell in a neutral place. No way in hell.

        yeah very true.

        he couldn't seem to get his punches off and when he did they were wild and ineffective.

        Hopefully Kessler comes back against Froch though.

          Dirrell surprised me more because i wasnt sure he would learn the lessons necessary from that controversial loss to Froch

          he learned all he needed from that fight, and put on a great performance against a dangerous puncher.

          even when Abraham hit him early in the fight, Dirrell came back with punches instead of running

            I was more surprised with what Ward was able to do to Kessler. To me Kessler is the man at 168 and Ward just dominated him clearly. I always considered Ward really good and he is better than Andre but I didn't think he could do what he did. As for Andre I was surprised with what he did and the improvements he made but Ward still gets my vote.
