Ward will DESTROY Andre Dirrell

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

I got your point, but I really think that's very important the way you react to adversity and he just did well. C'mon AA is not a robotic fighter who was there to get beat up, he has a tight defense, yes, he's slow but Dirrell made him look worse. He got frustrated and punched Dirrell while he was down.

I like AA a lot, but he is what he is. I just think that if you take away Arthur's equalizer (big power out of both hands), most would consider him tailor-made for a guy of Dirrell's style and attributes and wouldn't give him a chance.


Being that he didn't win the fight conclusively, that he appeared to want out by the time the fight did end on the DQ and that there are question-marks over the legitimacy of his reaction to the foul (which was a clear foul, no doubt), it's still questionable how well Dirrell dealt with the adversity IMO.

Dirrell will throughly outbox Ward.

yup I agree I think Dirrell's hand speed and foot speed will give Ward a lot of problems. I think Dirrell will surpirse everyone and dominate Ward.

[The Gambler1981]

The whole fight revolves around if Ward can catch Dirrell when he is in a bad position. If Ward can make Dirrell pay consistently for his mistakes Ward can do well, if Dirrell fights properly and limits mistakes he should be able to out range Ward and force Ward into making mistakes.

It should be interesting though, if Ward can get by Dirrell the Super Six is his to lose that is certain.

Ward is fast enough to close in on him. Ward wins.

[Scott9945]

Dirrell will be the fastest fighter he's been in with, but assuming that doesn't freeze Ward, I think he'll win convincingly. He seems mentally tougher. You also can't ignore that Dirrell was knocked cold in his last fight. No matter whose fault it was, you can't pretend it didn't happen.

You guys are straight DELUSIONAL. Andre Dirrell looked good against ARTHUR ABRAHAM, a ****ING PUNCHING BAG who moves straight in the whole fight and does a ropeadope without the rope, and suddenly Andre Dirrell, a guy who was a complete joke in his pro career until that ngiht against AA, is going to beat a guy arguably top 5 P4P (IMO)? Andre Dirrell isn't confident in his offense, Andre Ward is.

EXACTLY. These people are basing Dirrell's greatness off one night against basically an undersized heavybag...come on now.

[PittyPat]

Ward will indeed destroy Dirrell.




... with his bald fucking dome.

No one could beat AA until Dirrell met him and you're downplaying that. Dirrell is going to shock the **** out of you.

But then again, you always make ignorant assessments.

[Toda Caine]

Nobody's dominating anyone, it's going to come down to later rounds. Dirrell will be fine, I question the later rounds because he damn near punched himself out against AA. Then was getting tired against Froch but was about to stick it out.

This is not a walk thru for Ward, anybody that thinks that is crazy.
