Comments Thread For: DeGale-Dirrell Title Fight Secured For May 23 In Boston

[Loque-san]

This is a very intriguing fight. Dirrell should have been a world champion already, he beat Froch clearly in his hometown and got robbed. I'm glad he does not have to travel for this fight and I hope DeGale will get a fair shake as well.

Dirrell will win this without too much trouble.

I'm guessing so. Haymon won the purse bid.

It's apparently a co-main event. So another big-ish fight will be on the card.

Khan perhaps?

Andre dirrel is one of your favourite fighters?

Is that before or after he faked an injury vs Abraham then used that as an excuse to duck ward

get over it man, lets be happy hes back in the ring and boxing is thriving

[heatman]

It's gonna be a good fight

I can't believe DeGale's the betting favorite. DeGale's good but Dirrell's special

IMO he beat Froch..and I think anyone who watched that fight objectively will agree. Of course some posters on here forget all about Froch's unpunished dirty fighting and Dirrell getting a point deducted that night. They also forget that Dirrell was an inexperienced 18-0 and hadnt fought on the road before. He'll definitely be better this time around!

Also I've never seen anyone take as much criticism for gettin hit with an illegal blow as Dirrell did. Thankfully he gets the chance to put all that behind him by grabbin a title in a competitive but really winnable home fight. Once he gets his hands on that title then we'll really see how good Dirrell can be

I dunno Jas. I just watched the fight, there was a delay between the punch and him going 'down', but he looked pretty hurt. And he looked genuinely confused once he was up.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, delayed KD's do happen. I remember when the cricket player died after he took a bouncer to the head it took a few seconds before he went down.

Boston?? Wow, that's a surprise! I'm there, baby!
