    Is Dirrell The Most 'Irritating' Fighter?

    He seems to be the you hate it or love it fighter with his style of fighting and most of all extremly irritating to watch for some boxing fans. Whats y'all take on Dirrell?

    Hated him after the Froch fight he fought really really lame and imo didn't deserve ****..

    But vs AA he redeemed himself in my eyes with his first 9 or so rounds were he boxed fantastically, saying that i think he was on the way too getting knocked out.. kid is still young though. But his skills are undeniable

      I agree he's had to grow up in the tournament fighting a beast like Froch in your 20th pro fight is a tall order for anyone. Allan Green truthfully should have been in the super six before Dirrell. Give him about another year or two and Dirrell will mature into a great fighter.

        Dirrell is coming of age now with only his 21st fight. He boxed wonderfully against Abraham.

          i have alot of respect for dirrell. to be in a position like that with your back against the wall fighting abraham so early in your career coming of a fight like the one with froch, then put on a performance like that.. again i have massive respect for him, before abraham not so much.

          he looked scared to death but he stepped up to the plate, and his skills cant be denied. if the KO didnt ruin his punch resistance he will do great things in the future.

            He seemed to be an extremely talented fighter who would never live up to his potential, but the Abraham was a beautiful display of boxing.

              The Froch fight was horrible and messy but he seems to have made an effort to never give a repeat performance. If he were to fight Froch again he'd knock him out.

                He will fight in whatever way it takes to win even if it is not pleasing to the fans, some people respect that some do not. I appriciate guys who fight to win.

                  I applaud any fighter doing what is necessary to win, but when they do just enough to lose I wont call robbery either. Dirrell has more than enough skill to beat Froch convincingly, but he blew that fight by running too much.

                    The way he fought against Froch let the judges decide the outcome, the fight was fairly close because it was a messy fight and definitely a hard fight for the judges to score. Some of you can sit back on your couches and think wow he was robbed, but when you're at a live-event and watching that messy ass fight. Its hard to judge what lands and what doesn't.
