Comments Thread For: DeGale-Dirrell Possible For April 25th, Says Hearn

[MDPopescu]

Both Dirrell brothers and Al Haymon are ok going to the UK?

... Want an honest answer to this?
No, as long as they are not fighting tomato cans. And DeGale isn't just one of those.

It makes all the sense in the world for this fight to be in the UK. Dirrell got a fair shake when he fought Froch, he lost a damn split decision. In a fight where he faded badly down the stretch. Maybe he should've won (I watched but didn't really score) but he sure as hell didn't deserve to IMO. Froch closed like a champion while the challenger tried to run out the clock. Life goes on.

Dirrell-DeGale is good business for Haymon and Hearn and I think they discussed this some time back. DeGale is a sturdy super middle -- I think he's going to pose serious problems for a Dirrell who still seems a little shell shocked.

al haymon is literally killing the haters..it was never his fault..all that coke head oscars..

... Dear tiliheely, you're going to become an actual treasure for NSB...

I don't know (and don't care) if you are an alt or a new kid on the block, but you are facing a bright future (this including a few bucks for you "delicate" and "demanding" job here).

Double header with Dirrell Bro's vs the UK bro's. Both 50/50 fights, make them happen. I doubt they will though.

What does this mean exactly? Explain your bull****, if you can.

I think he means you're boxing talking sense (for a change?)

Anyway, yh these fights make more money in the UK but maybe Haymon has a pot of investor's gold to win a purse bid.

I think DeGale beats Andre Dirrell, maybe even by stoppage but I've got the other Dirrell beating Groves, again maybe by stoppage.

Nah, I just think he's overly corny.

Anyway, it seems Haymon and Hearn are on good terms. I don't know. I don't think it will reach a purse bid. Too dangerous for everyone involved. But yeah, people are overrating Andre Dirrell. He's not even anywhere as good as he was when he fought Froch.

A double header would be fantastic.

Both are competitive fights.

I want to see Groves and Degale win so they can rematch in a unification fight.
