Explain to me what is so great about Dirrell.

[deanrw]

Certainly no more than Abraham and his constant whining about body punches. And if Dirrell didn't look against Froch, Carl looked worse.

Oh I admit Froch looked worsel. I had him losing 8 rounds to 4. What I am saying is he can make another fighter look bad.

I still do not like Ward. I am mainly tainted by his fight with Miranda. He was garbage that fight.

Dirrell though looks like someone who will only get better as time goes on.

[Toda Caine]

Name one fighter who frustrated AA like Dirrell. Dirrell cause AA to lose control and be delusional about an illegal punch.

[MUNG]

Hes got some moves and speed and is hard to catch up to and can take a punch too

[77Ritchie77]

if hes afraid to make contact how did he knock down abraham twice when none of arthurs (not at all) great opposition in the past has been able to do so even once?

[77Ritchie77]

speed kills. hes got more effective power than any fighter abraham has faced. hes like jermain taylor, but 4 times faster.
only boxer ive ever seen fluently move between southpaw and conventional stances throughout (switching at least ten times) a fight.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I'll add that Froch was the only one that got hurt in that fight.

Do you know what being hurt is?I've never seen Froch hurt by AD or Taylor.Hurt mean's you on your way out.Froch was buzz but so was Dirrell No?

[Rome-By-Ko]

Did you watch it on youtube or a repeat?

Froch was the aggressor but he didn;t hit enoguh ro more in each round.

Each round was slightly close at times, but Dirrel tagged him much more.

The shots on the back of Dirrell's head may count to you, then OK the stats show it;s closer, but Dirrell tagged him with ease.

I watch it live when I had that score.I watch it again on youtube and came up with the same score.You just admitted that there were alot of close rd's NO?Well in most of umm I scored it for Froch or a draw.Too much holding not enough action from Dirrell.Funny thing is when ever he started to sit down on his punches and not run like a chicken without a head I gave him the rd.

[Rome-By-Ko]

So you scored Froch-Dirrell 115-112 for Froch and you think Allen Green would knock out Andre Dirrell?

I'm just gonna put you on ignore right now and save myself from reading anymore idiotic bull****.

We can disagree without name calling just use your intelligence to respond(If you know how).Once again IMO Green is a beast and a problem for anybody in the tournament No?Yes I did have that score I don't score runing or clinching or jumping on the floor to stay out of trouble.

[KickAzz]

Honestly, I look at the guy and I see nothing spectacular. He doesn't interest me in any way as a boxer. The guy is afraid to make contact in a combat sport, he avoids engaging to the point of letting his punches fall short. Then he clinches every second he gets.


Please explain to me the reason for the hype around Dirrell. I honestly can't stand the guy for some reason, he is unappealing but I would like to see why other people like him.

he outboxed AA easily and beat croch, but got robbed.

[SkillspayBills]

He is very naturally gifted. Of course he has his faults but who doesn't. He is quick, decent pop and doesn't get hit clean very often, a good boxer. He gets more flack then he deserves methinks, even though his holding does get annoying as ****.
