So you ducked the WORLD SERIES for a fight against Chavez Jr?
LMAO Dirrell is a ****ing clown man
Exactly what I was thinking.
Could JCC Jr be getting him paid THAT much to forgo the WBSS tournament? Dude definitely woulda f#cked up Callum Smith Saturday thats for sure. That'd have been about 2M with the win bonus & put him through to the semi's where I think they get 1.5M + a 1.5M win bonus.
Chavez Jr just needs to be consistent and discipline himself. Let's see what he can do at 168 which should be a more natural weight for him. Anything below that and he's draining himself and above it the competition is too big. I personally wouldn't purchase a Chavez Jr. PPV but I'll watch this fight to see if he's got anything left in him.

Absolutely. I don't get the hype with Callum at all. Okay he's tall for a 168lber. Great I guess. All I've seen is him look good vs stumblebums & when he fights his best opponent he damn near looks like he's about to quit or get taken out & that dude can't punch for sh^t. Dirrell is better than Skoglund + can punch. He'd have stopped Callum 100% if Dirrell didn't have mongoloid logic & decide not to enter the WBSS & potentially win $10M+.
Hell I'm not sure Callum won't lose to the Braehmer vs Brant winner in the semis & unless something happens with both Eubank Jr & Groves to prevent either one of them from making it to the finals I can't see how Callum gets by either of them.

I thought Smith did o.k. considering he's been out of the ring since last year. That's definately the most punishment i've ever seen him taking, which is worrying since it was his first step up in class really but he got through it and won a clear decision in the end. I would have Smith as favourite against Dirrell, i dont rate him much at all.I agree that Groves beats him at this stage in their careers but think Smith would decision Eubank Jr
Another ass whooping for jr ...most apparent with him as his calibre of opposition got better his KO's became fewer ...no more taxi drivers like the old man...

Well don't get it wrong. I'm not saying he sucks. He's a good fighter, he's a world class guy, but he's not this guy I keep hearing UK fans talk about. I've seen him before, I've seen him Saturday & it wouldn't surprise me if this guy never wins a world title. He just not THAT good.

I thought he looked like he wanted to quit in a couple of those middle rounds. That round where his nose got busted up was one of them iirc. Respect on him pulling through & coming on later, but if he was in there with just a better guy or a guy with some power I think its very likely he'd been out of the WBSS already.

Thats crazy to me. Dirrell is hardly a guy I'm excited about but he's completed well & mostly dominated the better guys he's fought. His only L is a close decision loss to Badou Jack who's shown himself to be capable of winning belts in 2 divisions now.

Thats completely insane to me lol. I'm actually excited about Eubank Jr., unlike Dirrell, & there is no way Callum can hang with him. He gets hit way too much. He doesn't look comfortable when he's getting hit. I wouldn't be surprised if Callum quit vs Eubank Jr. cuz he's getting dinged up all night that night. I actually think Eubank Jr is gonna breeze through this tournament relatively easy & I think Groves is his real challenge in the Semis & if anyone beats him in this tournament it'll be Groves.
Eh, we will see cuz this all gets figured out in May.
