    Is Dirrell vs. Ward worth watching?

    I don't know about this fight. Both guys seem to be good friends and i'm interested in seeing how they approach this fight. For some reason, I see Ward not taking this fight as serious as the others because he already has a spot secured in the semi-finals and Dirrell knows he has to win this fight to get a spot in the semi finals. What if Ward just lets him win so their is another American in the semis? lol I see it being a pretty boring fight with no one taking a stand except for Dirrell for the most part and see him taking a split decision. What do yous think?

      That 0 is the only thing Ward will be fighting for. Hopefully it's enough.

        I think it would a good match for the boxing purist. It want a face first slugfest, Froch-Abraham might be more your liking, but if you appreciate a classic clash of boxing skills it has potential to be real good.

          People fight harder for their 0 than a world title. You can always get a world title later... your 0 is like your ******ity... waste it, and you can never get it back.

          It will certainly be enough.

          This fight will be boring, but so much skill will be represented. It's worth a watch.

              Don't let their respect for each other fool you, once they get into the ring it's each man for himself. When Simon Brown unified the titles with Maurice Blocker they were best friends. They were still friends when Brown came from behind to knock Blocker out.

                i 2 things will happen in this fight.

                clinching and controversy.

                clinching on ward's part and controversy seems to surround dirrell's fights (at least the last 2 in the super 6.)

                  Both guys are professionals. If you see cautious posing, it's because both guys are incredibly quick with their feet and hands and don't want to make a mistake and get caught since both are..."chinny"

                  Come fight night, friendship is out the door, they have a job to do. They can be friends after the fight.
