I don't think I have ever seen Bute as warn out as he was against Andrade in the first match... Other than that I don't know how you could completely call him an out of shape fighter, or not conditioned. Nobody else has made him that tired... Hard to gauge just yet.Comment

Dirrell came of age in that fight, he went in their like a chicken shít and came out boxing the socks off Carl Froch even backing Froch up and fighting him and Dirrell almost won a points decision. In his next fight he went in their with the confidence which he ended the Froch fight with and absolutely schooled the biggest most dangerous puncher in the division and put his arse on the canvas.
The result for the Dirrell v Froch fight will mean very little in the great scheme of Dirrell's career (it could work out to be a positive now that he won't be arsed about some undefeated record, he won't be afraid to take on new challenges in risk of losing) but the change of attitude, the shift in confidence Dirrell showed in the Froch fight, matched with his boxing ability has put him on the path to be the best.
Right now, I'd say Andre Ward is the more rounded fighter with Dirrell being more rough around the edges, but I think Dirrell is the most naturally talented. And I think he can beat Ward.
Dirrell would have Bute and Kessler chasing shadows. But against Ward, that will be a very interesting match. Really looking forward to it.Comment
