Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell vs. Ossie Duran on April 12th, ESPN FNF

[Floyd R]

Andre Dirrrell made the wrong decision leaving Al Haymon and signing with 50 Cents. His career has stagnated as a result of his foolish decision. 50 Cents does not have the connections to get him the big fights so he is going to have to settle and fight guys like Michael Gbenga and Ossie Duran (nobodies).

SMS Promotions taking over.

50 is not getting it done. It's that simple. Andre is going to have to go across the pond and beat someone like Groves or Degale on a show promoted by their promoters to become relevant again. In the boxing world 50 has no power. I thought him and Floyd would be good together but 50 on his own won't do it. I hope I'm wrong because I am a fan of Andre and 50 but this isn't going to cut it.

In his last 10 fights Ossie Duran is 4-5-1....he has 10 loses and has 0 meaningful win..this is beyond pathetic

Dirrell is going backwards. He's so exciting, but nothing is happening.

To be fair, he fought some pretty good guys, and all the losses were close/disputed. Ossie is a very good, very tough gatekeeper, but not at 168.

D*mn dog, give the man time to get back in the mix of things. He had zero fights in 2012, he's had one so far this year. Once the situation with TMT and SMS was straightened out, he was scheduled for a fight. This is his second fight in four months. This is boxing, not basketball where you can just get back on the court. Allow the guy to get rid of the rust before he jumps into a big fight...

[P4P Opinion]

Wow. What a terrible fight and what an amazing waste of time for everyone involved except Ossie Duran.

[philgood]

bad. management

Dirrel should try to get out the 50 contract on basis Mayweather was suppose to be in on the team between 50 and his granddad he's not going anywhere he has great skills but no heart as seen when he didn't last long with Floyd sr.
