    Good fight, there will be a lot of skill in that ring.

    May's gonna be off the hook, one good fight after another.

    Can't wait.

        Dirrell should win this. His resume is getting solid. Abraham, Froch, DeGale.

            It's apparently a co-main event. So another big-ish fight will be on the card.
            Who do you think takes this one Dirk? They are both so supremely gifted and talented. SMH I love this damn fight being made it's so close a call.

                Close fight but I think Dirrell's experience and the location give him the edge in a SD.

                        Tough fight to call, both very skilled but I think both are have flaws mentally, Dirrell especially so. The winner of this could kick on and really do something, for the loser it could pretty much be the end.

                            Dirrell at his best has better feet and a touch more speed. That should be the difference, although he has had a stop start career, so not sure if he will be at the top of his game.

                                I want to say DeGale but something is telling me Dirrell nicks a decision especially since its over there.

                                This is a good chance for DeGale to truly show if he's improved though because I imagine Dirrell will employ similar tactics to what Groves used against DeGale. I thought DeGale won that fight but he didn't look good in it either way.

                                    I don't see how Andre Dirrell has any fans left. He ran against Froch. Then there was the whole abraham affair, then he didn't fight for years, then he fights a bum and gets clipped and looks average - then he's gifted a world title shot.

                                    The future is chunky.

                                        Honestly thinks Degale knocks him out within 6 rounds.
