Dirrell and Ward are a disgrace!!!!

[Ganondorf]

But if both Ward and Dirrell back out over being to scared to fight one another than the tourny will be a failure. This fight is not only the biggest fight in the tourny of date, but it crowns who is truly the best American Middleweight.

No. It crowns who is really the best SUPER Middleweight.

wow just wow

and these guys call themselves professional prize fighters what a joke

in that case Froch and Abraham should fight for Kessler's belt which he should have to vacate or they make whoever wins that fight the next in line for a shot a Kessler if and when he returns

then bute can fight the winner of that

what happens to allan green now aswell?

[Silencers]

what fkin copout, quit defending their cowardly behaviour.

I'm not defending anything. They should fight. I'm just saying that I don't think venue is the reason the fight is not happening.

that title goes to bute imo

i just dont understand the *****ing, they knew they'd have to face each other from day one.....

Bute definitely belongs up there. I still can't believe they put Green in to replace Taylor. Andre Dirrell is definitely the best BOXER of the SMW division. I would like to see a Bute/Dirrell fight or a Bute/Ward fight.

This is ridiculous. If they do not fight, its a disgrace. They can be friends later, this is ridiculous

yeah i actually like dirrell he seems abit weak mentally though like when the pressure is really on he might just fold

my mate reckons ward stands a good chance of beating bute because he can fight on the inside and bute can't (his words not mine)

i think either of those fights would determine who the best super middleweight is for sure

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Ward loses me as a supporter if this fight doesn't go ahead. Not because I blame him, but because I blame both equally.


Ward and Dirrell are both still relatively early in their careers and going at it with a hungry young rival is an essential developmental step for each (think Roy vs. Hopkins), so I'll be annoyed with both sides if this fight doesn't happen over some venue BS.


Dirrell I'm not a fan of, Ward I won't be a fan of if this fight is shelved.

Also, Dirrell tends to pull straight back with his chin up. He's a very fast, slick boxer but his defense is a little leaky.

Anybody who fights Ward needs to wear a helmet. I'm still not sure how he compares to a slick boxer on the outside. Lately all I've seen of him is holding and ramming his head in like a billy-goat.
