An absolutely phenomenal fight. I put it right there with Pac/May or Golovkin/Ward (back when it was viable), Garcia/Matthysse, Donaire/Rigondeaux, etc.
It's just a really high level fight, man. It really doesn't get much better.Comment

I just really identify with the character J.
That is a good point about Stevenson, he doesn't have a "usual" thing he tries to do every single time like Wlad lets say.
He is hard to prepare for because you don't know what you will be hit with and he carries power in both hands.
Kovalev showed a bit more patience and craft than I previously thought he had against Hopkins but its a good fight that needs to happen and it has no clear favorite.
BTW I was really hoping for Edwards to upset Dirrell, knew it was unlikely but would have been fantastic.Comment

I'd like to see Dirrell fight like that all the time. But with a big puncher he might dance the night away. He was in the pocket and pressing most of the night.I just really identify with the character J.

Don't know where he goes from here, he isn't going to fight his brother for the WBC belt, Froch is looking for a good payday before retiring so that rematch won't happen, Abe is probably going to stay in Germany so IDK if Dirrell would want to go there where they will legally allow Abe to hit a downed opponent. Ward is his buddy and he is for the most part retired and just doing HBO broadcast.
Maybe at 175lbs?Comment

You are nuts. No defense? Stevenson has zero defense, no stamina and one dimensional. B Hop couldn't touch Kovalev. The Pimp won't either. Kovalev by early round stoppage.Comment
