Glad to see Dirrell back in there and winning. I wish him nothing but the best. I'll wait a minute or two for the hate to roll in.....................

Hate from who? Dirrell looked in serious fighting shape, some guys mature faster than others and Dirrell seems to be in his physical prime right now. Andre Dirrell should face Andrade next bc Bute's promoters would love nothing more than to get Froch while his confidence is shot.

I'm upset Pavlik didn't take that 50K instead of looking at possible jail time, Cunningham might have been easy work for him as well. Maybe we will get that Ward v Martinez in the summer.

Right now Froch, Ward and Glen Johnson need a break.

I am glad you posted a video of the fight, as when I was watching it live, I seemed clear to me that Cunningham was not ready to fight at the moment Dirrell caught him with the left hand. I missed the replay of the knockdown, and since the Showtime commentary crew made no mention of it, I thought perhaps my eyes deceived me. But, watching it again, it seems pretty clear to me that after the minor foul, Cunningham was halfheartedly attempting to touch gloves with Dirrell, or at least had his guard down, as he does not fight with his arms extended like they were at the time of the knockdown. It's his fault, but I feel for bad for him, because that's a rough way to lose the biggest fight of your career. He never even came close to recovering from that knockdown. He was a sitting duck. Anyway, it is nice to see Dirrell back.

Dirrell back, he should fight a serious contender like kessler, then bring bute or ward, bute should fight anthony dirrell

He took his killshot while the guy was extending his glove to forgive dirrell for hitting on the break! Lame move by Andre. The commentators didnt even acknowlege it. Some B.S.
