Pretty soft opposition for a fighter like A. Dirrell even if it is early in his career.

its a tune up.

with that said, i wanna see him fighting bute in the near future for a go at the ward/froch winner. that would be ideal.

Yeah it's looking more like this is the Dirrell to be watching, I bet he will fight Ward with no problems, but first Shaw better have Anthony visit Victor Contes offices

This is Anthony though, his whole career thus far has been tuneups, this is no better he needs to step it up and stop padding his record.

lmao. anthony is a very good fighter and imo hes tougher than his brother, altho i think hos bro is the better boxer. but between the two, the only ppl i think that can beat them around their weight classes are ward/froch/bute.

i kno, but u forget that he came back from a cancer scare earlier in his career. i agree i would love to see him step it up. mebbe a kessler fight or a glen johnson fight then a bute fight or something like that. i think hes ready. why they are holding him back i dunno.

yeap, another tune up, still, Dirrell will make the fight fun to watch....

Anthony Dirrell might not be as good or skilled as his brother, but he's more aggressive, and has more power. I like both of them.

Remember this is the brother that battled lymphoma and went through chemo.

Honestly, him getting in the ring at all is the real victory regardless of who he faces.
