best news i heard in a while. dirrell is such a special fighter it would be amongst the saddest things in boxing if his career was ended so prematurely, especially by an illegal blow. there is no fight in boxing i want to see more than ward-dirrell so i was extremely dissapointed when it fell through but now it might acctually happen. hell it doesnt even have to be ward, dirrell is fun to watch against anyone so im just happy to see him back no matter who he fights. the best option would be to fight kessler or the loser of ward-abraham on the undercard of the super six final though.
him and kessler are in the same position, him and abraham have history and ward-dirrell is amongst the very best fights to be made in all of boxing plus it wouldve happened already if dirrell wasnt injured.
if dirrell is going to come back he should come back strong and fight often
both him and ward have been horribly inactive ever since their olympic accomplishments...ward now being in the super six is forced to fight more often
dirrell has good drawing power in his hometown and he's got skills but he's got confidence issues which will probably hold him back for the remainder of his career
