With Bute out of the picture due to venue and problems with his low quality opposition, the only guy remaining is Anthony Dirrell (24-0, 21 KO’s). He’s Ward’s WBC number #1 challenger and recently stopped Renan St Juste in the 4th round to earn the shot against Ward. Dirrell, like his older brother Andre, has amazing hand speed and excellent power. He’s not as good defensively as Andre Dirrell and he also doesn’t move nearly as well. But Anthony does have just as good power and is more willing to mix it up. He doesn’t mess around and he tends to go right after his opponents.
With his Anthony Dirrell’s power, hand speed, and pinpoint accuracy, he’d give Ward a lot more problems than Froch did. I don’t know who will win this match-up because Anthony Dirrell is still an unknown because he hasn’t fought a lot of high visibility fights. All I know is he took apart a very good St Juste in his last fight earlier this month and was hurting him alot at the time the fight was halted due to St Juste injuring his left shoulder. I think Dirrell might be even more of a threat to Ward than Bute because of his superior hand speed and power. Dirrell hits harder than Ward and is an excellent inside fighter. His pure boxing skills may even be better than Wards.
