Comments Thread For: Dirrell on Spending Time With Mayweather Jr. in Vegas

[Light_Speed]

Why do people keep referring to the Froch fight? Dirrell already showed improvements in workrate and will to win against Abraham. He'll keep improving because he has buttloads of talent.

I hope Andre Dirrell fights Andre Ward next. He's earned with arguably beating Froch, and than beating Abraham down. And he still looked solid and fresh in his ring return. That's the fight I want to see for Ward next.

Let his brother Anthony fight someone like Brian Magee first.

It seems as though everyone who comes within reach of Mayweather's gym becomes a duck. It must be some sort of ducking aura that rubs off on other boxers.

I disagree that he showed a will to win for AA. The question was not answered in that fight. Because, of the fight ending in a DQ.

He showed improvements but again that fight favored him heavily stylistically wise.

Well he tried to win every round clearly instead of doing just enough like in the Froch fight, so he learned from that "loss".

Yea he did. But, also that styled favored him heavily in that fight.

And, even then AA was coming on pretty strong at the end. Where Dirrell doing the same stuff against Froch in his fight against AA. Like going to his knees whenever the opponent got close. But, with the AA it was in lesser extent and it was late in the fight.

Talented and skilled enough to reach the elite level. But, I still question his heart to get there. And, I'm not sure he is mentally strong enough to get there either. The AA fight didn't answer those question. And, with the stuff he pulled going into the Ward fight. Yea the jury is still out on him IMO.

I brought it up because he didn't learn from it at all. Once Abraham put more pressure on him, he started to fold. He does have a chit load of talent, but at the elite level he wasn't mentally strong enough. That's the only thing besides defense he needs to improve.
