Comments Thread For: Anthony Dirrell Back In Win Column, Shuts Out Rubio

[Teetotaler]

Glad I didn't waste time on this pathetic match up. I just think its hilarious dirrel couldn't ko him. What's with all these "high caliber " opponents fighting bums and are just satisfied with jabbing them to a decision? PBC is ass

[cabalas]

Just shows how limited Dirrell is as a fighter. This was Rubio's first fight at SMW, coming off being utterly destroyed by GGG in less that two rounds and Dirrell could not hurt him at all. Seeing as Dirrell couldn't hurt him, and Lemieux could not hurt him and Golovkin demolished him without even working up a sweat, does anyone still think Lemieux has a chance against GGG?

Well, maybe this means that GGG is a real destroyer (but still many poster think Golovkin is only hype).

Bet you can't convince GGG to go up and fight him. So stop the bashing.

Are you serious GGG has bigger fish to fry than Anthony Direl fighting in far superior division at middleweight. But we all know who wins between the two.

Rubio is tough as nails, a true Mexican warrior, it shows how strong GGG really is to put him down in 2.

Go up and fight who? Dirrell? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Dirrell wouldn't even be a quality sparring partner for Golovkin. He has no title, no fan base, brings nothing to the dance at all and would be lucky to last as long as Rubio did. What reason would Golovkin have to fight Dirrell? You could line up both Dirrells, Groves and DeGale and GGG would take them all in the same weekend.

This is a head scratcher. Since when did a good amount of people thought Lemieux had a chance against GGG? I think the tone has always been that he has no chance. Only one's who claim he has a shot or are talking him up as a serious opponent are GGG fans themselves.

Yep.

Lemieux actually lost to Rubio yet some GGG fans are talking him up like he's something special and this upcoming PPV is some huge fight. Blah.

As for Dirrell if he wanted to impress he should have taken this guy out. Since he didn't it will go down as a lackluster performance.

I'd say Nacho wasted his time, but he got paid... so Rubio wasted his money

Rubio needs to start looking into new careers. Solid W for Dirrell.

Wow, Dirrell sucks, Rubio sucks (at least he has reasons why) and last but not least PBC sucks.
We get complete mismatches with no KO's hardly, the good on paper matches suck (Porter/Broner) and too many more problems to list without typing for ever.
Everything PBC does has pretty much been garbage, even the Santa Cruz fight ******, it had decent action, but you could tell there was 0% chance of a KO (which takes some of the drama of the fight, nobody would want to see Paulie vs Algeri).
