Comments Thread For: Dirrell: Benavidez Won't Give Me Rematch; Knows I Was Winning Before Cut

[jonnyc420]

I saw Dirrell get battered, he had his moments but few and far between. Try earning that rematch instead of talking about why you deserve it.

Before the cut really started to affect the outcome of the fight, Dirrell was starting to solve Benavidez. In the beginning, Benavidez overwhelmed Dirrell with his reach and power, but then Dirrell started to expose Benavidez for his one-dimensional style . . .

Good points and, although I agree that Dirrell made Benevidez look one dimensional, tbh I didn't see Dirrell actually taking a lead.
End result he got cut and stopped, and probably needs a good win or two to have any chance of a rematch.

Anthony Dirrell feels he deserves a rematch with David Benavidez. If not for the cut he suffered in the sixth round, Dirrell is certain he would've worn down Benavidez and dealt the WBC super middleweight champion his first loss. Benavidez battered a bloodied Dirrell toward the end of their 168-pound championship match September 28, until referee Thomas Taylor stopped it in the ninth round.

Dirrel lost that fight and was himself being worn down before the cut. I think at this point he should pursue Danny Jacobs. That would be an interesting matchup and a good gauge to see if Danny has acclimatized to super middle

Eh???? Am i suffering from a bad memory because as i recall dirrell was getting completely battered and was going to get knocked out regardless of the cut. Did he win a round?

I guess I need to watch this again. I didn’t come away with the impression that Dirrell was all that competitive. The way I remember it, Benevidez was simply walking through him.

Dirrell has taken a few to many shots to the head to believe this...
