Seeing how Dirrell was fighting in the early rounds till the later rounds, I definitely saw Dirrell being a lot more reserved which gave AA more of an opportunity to strike. After that knockdown AA became the aggressor and he landed punches even after that knockdown until the slip and the punch happened. I'm not making any excuses for AA because he should've balked on hitting him while he was down, but nobody will ever really know how that fight was going to end up regardless of the scorecards, there was still a good amount of time left (as there was with the Taylor fight which many had him beating AA as well).
If Ward's healthy though, I got him beating Dirrell (not even mentioning Allan Green).
Yeah Ward-Dirrell will be epic. Too much skill in that ring.
