That would be interesting... I would say either one of them wins by decision.

This would be interesting as hell. Jones has never fought a fighter with matching speed and the skill set of Dirrell. Honestly, I could see Dirrell controlling the ring and the action. Dirrells also just as accurate a puncher as Jones, So I'd expect Dirrell being able to find a home for those straight punches all night. Dirrell is also great at measuring distance, so if he was forced to press forward, I would expect him to be more educated and cautious towards Jones' games when he's back against the ropes. Dirrell is also hard to counter due to his quick reflexes and defensive positioning of his stance and hands. Dirrell has a height advantage and a slight, and maybe insignificant, reach advantage. For the most part, Abraham and Froch were only landing hits against Dirrell as Andre would circle out of their pressure and lean back, but even then, that was the only time Abraham and Froch were able to apply their offense. I just don't see to many offensive openings for Roy, and Dirrell has a pretty granite chin. I think Dirrell with 5 or 6 more fights could possibly have Roy's card, and I give him a good chance. It's always hard to decide these fights when it comes to two quick and speed fighters.

Jones before jumping to heavyweight was too good. But I gave Dirrell some benefit and voted unan. decision.
