This write up is terrible. Littered with grammatical errors, the wrong ref and also says a mouthpiece was orbiting around the ring.

Orbiting? Really? So it took off and started flying in circles around the ring as if it were the Earth rotating around the sun?

Just about any other word in the English language works better in that context.

thanks for sharing bro, i missed it. engel should've tried to tell the ref it was a low blow, but it was a mismatch from the beginning, direll would've got the stoppage eventually

Bull**** they made Engel pay Dirrell's camp money for not making weight when it wasn't his fault since he was called up last second. What kind of criminal **** is that? Disgusting crap in boxing. He clearly tried to make weight he went from 195/197 down to like 175.

Dude was weight drained and they still fined him. I don't know who's responsible for the fine espn or dirrell's camp but whoever's fault it is I hope they die a painful death. Because thats not cool at all.

The ref did a bad job, he should have paused the fight so Engel could put back his mouth piece.

That was clearly a low blow by Dirrell, I guess the ref allowed it since the outcome was inevitable.

Dirrell looked good, he just needs to step it up. I think he could be better than his brother.

Engel was a last minute replacement for Alejandro Berrio I believe, and that would have actually been a good test for Anthony Dirrell.

never been impressed with anthony, and people talk about his power when in reality he's not even a puncher, these early career bums are meant to be knocked out

While it's pretty ****ty that Engle got fined, the fault lies with his promoter/manager for agreeing to the contracted weight of 168 when they should've known Kevin would never make the weight. Had Engle's management been aware of this fact they could've protected their fighter from taking it in the shorts as well as on the chin.

He called both brothers out though, so who knows. Aaron Pryor Jr would be a good choice though. Especially after his win over Andrade. Brian Magee might be good too. He's tough as hell.

I think Anthony is the harder puncher he mixes up his punches well and seems pretty fearless no pun intended.
