Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell vs. Jose Uzcategui Rematch Ordered By The IBF

Andre the faker Dirrell got KO'd cleanly on a hard punch

Why give Dirrell anything as Dirrell got KO'd cleanly off a hard shot to the head. Dirrells are trouble in boxing that's why the Dirrells fight on spike tv.

Good, should have been a KO or NC the first time. Uzcategui finishes the job this time around

Agree, Dirrell was beaten and should be an NC at least. On the Kovalez/Ward undercard Flores was KO'd by Rigo. Paulie Malignaggi was screaming he's pulling a Dirrell for a free meal. Paulie was wrong, clear video evidence shows Flores going down, pushed aside and held up by the referee and when the referee moved he continued to fall. Unlike what Paulie said there is sometimes a split second between the shot and the legs going.I can't imagine after getting nailed that hard by Rigo that he had the presence of mind to pull a Dirrell, he was out.

I believe the IBF made the right call here. While the punch was indeed a foul and had landed late after the bell it wasn't in the least bit a blatant foul done with a malicious and evil intent.

It should have been ruled a no contest at best and not a disqualification. In my judgement, I had Uzcategui winning that bout and thought he was well on his way to winning it by a comfortable margin or decision.

He pinned Dirrell along the ropes and had him hurt and rocked Dirrell several times throughout the fight.

Good call by the IBF.... would have been nice if the DQ verdict was also overturned.

Yeah you right. I forgot all about that. It's up to the governing bodies/the State athletic commissions to overturn verdicts. It's the job of the sanctioning bodies to order rematches and mandatory defenses of their titles.

hopefully his hoodrat piece of **** team stay out of the ring this time.

I think that if Andre doesn't win this rematch then perhaps he should consider retirement. I remember when he was one of the hottest prospects in boxing while fighting on ShoBox: The New Generation frequently, he was known as the "Matrix".

Now he's about to turn 34 years old this year and his skills are slowly corroding. Moreover, his reflexes are a bit slower now, plus he's chinny and eating a lot of punches; Which is not a good sign for a fighter known for his slippery defense.
