Comments Thread For: Jack Shocks Dirrell, Lifts Super Middleweight Title

[tiliheels]

A frontrunner crumbles in the face of adversity, and he's done it twice by completely falling apart in the second half of the mentioned Bika fight and now the Badou Jack fight.

well i was told a frontrunner was always winning early...so i dont think it applies hear...i'm telling u wat it is when u're an incomplete fighters it is hard to adjust..he's got away with having a light tool box for so long that he got used to now it aint work when guys take the main tool away everything falters.

or maybe u just jocking my strap reading all my post bc they drop knowledge

Yeah, like that previously unheard knowledge that Foreman beat Ali. You're brilliant.

Props to Jack. I honestly don't rate either guy though. Groves beats either of them IMO.

why does Jack want Groves? is that the mandatory or something?

I think so.

Im watching now. Jack looks good, fighting well on outside and not afraid to get scrappy inside. Good defensive responsibility.

Him vs. Groves would be good. I think Jack could take it, but ive never liked Groves so im biased

Groves has been the mandatory since September. The WBC allowed special dispensation for Dirrell to have a voluntary against Jack. The winner (who we now know is Jack) has 10 days to negotiate a deal before purse bids, and the fight has to take place within 90 days.

I think Groves will pole-axe him tbh. If Derek Edwards can do it, then Groves is easily capable also.

Groves will probably get home advantage now as well, where as against Dirrell he'd probably have to travel.

DeGale has a much bigger task in beating Andre, but if he can, later in the year we could see Groves v DeGale II for the unified Super Middleweight Championship of the world, that'll be a barnstormer of a fight.

Dont get me wrong Groves can definitely win. I think Jack looks a better boxer though based on last night, and Groves stamina/chin/defence isn't so hot either.

Degale is in very tough with Andre. Im rooting for him but just not sure he will win. Dirrell is so accurate and fast with his punches and has great reflexes and movement as well. Im banking on Dirrells stamina letting him down again though, hopefully Degale can get him late.
