    And after everybody said he shouldn't have this fight. I thought Direll would have won, but I also thought Jack wasn't an easy touch, I guess "boxing fans" are wrong again.

    TMT has 3 champs, thats a nice start for a fledgling promotion.

      I had this on my radar as a potential upset, but I dont realy rate either guy, so its hard to say with certainty. dirrell strugled with bika who is past his prime, merely a gatekeeper.

        i said the same my friend..i dont know to manny long slick black young fighters who have 20 fights that would be considered easy work if u dont get them out of there in 3 rounds..ppl focus to much on one shot these days..the rankings are BS and i give dirrell major credit for takin this fight...maybe he does get a rematch

          Both guys have been KOed, but with Jack you can argue it was Round 1, so he wasn't warmed up and got caught cold. Groves I'd argue has a bit of chin problem if caught clean. However, I'd pull for Groves, so when Degale beats Dirrell they can set up a mega fight.

            Respect to Jack he actually wants to fight his mandatory while Ducky Dirrell didn't want it.

              Dirrells are hated in America

              All America cheered for Badou over Dirrell. Something about boith Dirrells that makes all Americans vomit. 2 disgusting Dirrells are so hated by everyone. Retire now. Froch will want to fight Badou now. watch. Even froch hates both Dirrells.

                Jack exposed the fact that Dirrell literally has no clue what adjusting is. He did the same exact thing the entire fight. It's like adjusting is a lost art.

                  Groves caught a perfect shot from a solid puncher. It's not exactly proof his chin is a problem.

                    I remember there was someone who insisted that Anthony Dirrell was the guy to beat Andre Ward a few years back. Never saw it then, don't see it now.

                    If there's a Dirrell that can beat Ward, it's Andre. The DeGale fight should be interesting to see where he really is. If Dirrell returns to pre-Abraham shot form, he's the best chance at 168 to beat Ward.
