Comments Thread For: Team Dirrell: Not Enough Time Before Stevenson Bout

[BattlingNelson]

The Boone fight happened a while ago. He has changed and improved some things in his game as a result of that loss, and since then he has hired Manny Steward as his trainer.

Its easy to look good when fighting québec cabbies. Dude is untested.

You saw what Bute did to Magee right? Why would Kessler want to fight his leftovers?

Its better than Boones leftovers isnt it?

I'd prefer him to fight Ward or Pavlik but Magee aint a bad fight. He holds one of the WBA bogus titles and is known as a danekiller having KO'ed both Mads Larsen and Rudy Markussen in Denmark. So he is a known commodity to the Danish audience and he is a good fighter and a proven, durable contenders.

The Boone fight happened 6 fights ago. Stevenson is a different fighter now with a better team around him.

Magee on the other hand got creamed by Bute just last year.
