Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell: I Have To Get To Andre Ward First

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

Dirrells gonna get robbed like he did in Shottingham.

Dirrell by Wide UD, in Wards hometown SD Ward win.

That Dirrel's KO (by Abraham) was a SLAPSTICK.He should get an "Oscar".My opinion.

This will be Ward's toughest fight for sure. He will have to dig deep to win this one. Dirrell has plenty of gifts that could aid him eek out a victory. I am looking forward to this bout.

[AntDawg]

what I don't get is fighters fighting against Ward.

Why don't they unleash one blatant foul and get a point deduction? such as a low-blow or intentional headbutt. I know it's not honourable but Ward is not an innocent party. It's worth it just to make Ward think.

I know Carl Froch would do it and probably Abraham too.

I guess you didn't watch last nights fight. Green was low blowing Ward.

I guess you didn't watch last nights fight. Green was low blowing Ward.

plus using his shoulder too!

I got Dirrell by late TKO I love Ward but my guy Andre Dirrell got this

this is the best matchup in the tournament imo. also dirrell imo is the only guy in the super six who could possibly beat ward due to his style.

for the first time in his pro career and maybe in his life ward is up against a guy with huge physical advatages over him. handspeed, footspeed, reflexes, height and power.

what ward has is better fundamentals, more well rounded skills, higher boxing IQ and more mental strenght. will it be enough to beat dirrell though given that dirrell also has the stylistic advantage, anytime u have two pure boxers who like to fight on the outside the taller one usually has a tremendous advantage (hearns-leonard, breland-starling). then again we saw last night ward is a great inside fighter too, but can he get dirrell up against the ropes like he did green? dirrel has much more movement, is much quicker and throws alot more punches and from diffrent angles. he has power on those shots too.. i dont nknow how the ifght will turn out i just know we will see some world class boxing and a great matchup of styles and talent. this fight is what the sweet science is all about, i cant wait.

it'll either play out like...

Zab Judah (Dirrell) vs Mayweather Jr (Ward)

or

Roy Jones Jr (Dirrell) vs Bernard Hopkins (Ward) 1

[Carlisle]

Dirrel's speed won't matter in this fight

This fight will be more competitive then Ward v Green but Dirrel's speed won't matter in this fight.. Dirrel has stamina issues (weak legs) and Ward will win by unanimous decision

it'll either play out like...

Zab Judah (Dirrell) vs Mayweather Jr (Ward)

or

Roy Jones Jr (Dirrell) vs Bernard Hopkins (Ward) 1

in what way exactly? do you expect dirrell to give ward problems and for ward to adapt after the 5th round? rjj vs bhop is really farfetched to me

panda doesnt really understand those analogies

if anything itll be like bradley(=ward) vs peterson (=dirrell), high tempo very technical boxing match with the chance of one the guys going down and both guys constantly adapting to eachothers style

this is gonna be a good fight
