Comments Thread For: Dirrell: George Groves Has Not Earned Title Shot Yet

[Shinkyokushin92]

Dirrell had beat no one significant before he got a title shot against Bika.

I believe he lost the first fight with Bika and won the second but did not even look good.

Now all of a sudden he gets a title (Bika wasn't even a real champion) and now he tells Groves to prove himself.

Dirrell is right. but money talks.

Here's a history lesson Dirrell. You are wearing Andre Ward's title. He is the true WBC & Super Middle champ. It took you 2 fights to arguably beat Sakio Bika. You should feel fortunate to have the most powerful man in boxing pulling strings to line up titles for his guys who don't really deserve them. You didn't earn that piece of hardware, you were handed it. I bet Dirrell won't say a damn word when they line up a guy like Sergio Mora or Dyah Davis to defend against.

Dirrell looked pretty good the rematch,not so sure the initial fight,I thought Bika took the first too.

He is just being defensive,so he should too,he's protecting what is his,good on him.besides all this he has an optional defence yet,with Haymon behind him I expect they win the purse to the Groves fight.that is if even Groves faces the titlist,i see Groves being reluctant to travel.

I can see the ******ity and self entitlement runs in the dirrell family.

Groves won't have a problem fighting in the USA. This fight could work well on a major card. IE- Klistchko/Jennings.
