Andre Dirrell vs. Andre Ward: who will win?

[The Hammer]

Dirrell can't punch? Lol he hits a lot harder than Ward

No. Dirrell is feather-fisted, but Ward's headbutts can do damage.

u all forgetting dirrel rocked froch n had him on robes covering hurt n u forget hes only person 2 put arbraham down so u obv dont know bout boxing if u think he carnt hit

I think Dirrell is a decent puncher. The Abraham KD was clumsy and Abraham was already falling backwards so I don't think that really shows he has power.

He shook Froch up a couple of times though.

Burner, you have to remember, when a European boxes and moves, it's beautiful boxing.

When a black American does this it's running.

Know your facts.

In the country of Europe, where eveyone speaks the same language, this is the way of thinking.

Reading posts from some of the more esteemed "brothers" on here I've learned that all white people are straight forward robots and are inferior to blacks. Any time a white competes with a black, they will lose. Every black is bigger, faster, stronger, more athletic than their white counterpart.

Is this what everyone in North America thinks?

LOOOOOL.


btw, i strongly disagrees with that "Andre Dirrell can't punch" thing. C'mon he put Abraham on his ass who's known to have a great chin. Dirrell has very decent power, he's by no means a Malignaggi or a Zuri Lawrence.

dirrells power is underated on these boards.

Arthur Abraham runs in through the crowd and KO's Dirrell when the referees back is turned, wwe style.

[FloydTBE]

its wards headbutting that is the key to victory for him

Was Vitali running against Arreola? I mean, he was fighting going backwards and used his legs to stay away.

I personally don't think so, but if Dirrell was running against Abe, I guess Vitali was running.

Ward will just out work the **** outta him. UD.

You're right. How dare I.

I certainly don't believe that, and I'm certainly not a "brother". You don't have to be black to point out the prejudices that are used.

Remember, even though certain black fighters have the advantage of being agile and quick on their feet, they should not use the advantage. No, instead they should stand in harms way. Sit there flat footed and slug it out. Even if they lose, it's more dignified.

Boxing is a sport, not a till death battle, and you're not judged on "manliness" or how many times you stand there and trade. You're judged on clean punching, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and defense. So whatever way a boxer thinks is best to WIN, he should use that style.

Whether it's coming straight forward and using pressure, or boxing and moving, it's their call. If they win, what's the difference? The opponents job is the same, so why do we criticize certain fighters based on their styles? It's their style. It's how they best know how to win.
