    Well to me it was obvious Anthony was taking his time to feel st juste out, this was only the second southpaw he's faced as a pro and i believe st juste's stance and height is what made Dirrell take it slower...

    He was actually a little more effective when he switch to southpaw, but i like him he has good power, really good counter-punching, nice defense, he's patient, doesn't waste punches and is a good finisher, I see him being competitive with the top of the division...

    Yeah he seemed nervous maybe :think
    It's like his he couldn't bend his legs either. I was noticing that, but he is very poised so maybe I'm just imaging stuff

    He needs to work on his footwork and his head movement, he stands too straight up. Apart from that it was a solid performance.

    Andre is more talented but Anthony has more guts.

    Where the hell did you dig that up from anyway? Did you go to your local library or something and scan that?

    He can possibly beat Froch or Ward. His upside is obviou. He doesn't need to fight the winner of Ward/Froch right away, he's just mandatory for 2012, but it can be any date as long as it's in 2012. That's WBC rules. So maybe he can fight Kessler next or the loser of Froch/Ward.

    I think all three are losing propositions for him, any time in 2012. Maybe 2013 too.

    He can be special, that much is obvious - but he's got a long way to go.

    I think now he provides a rough fight and 50/50 chance for any fighter in the division, except for Bute because of his movement and his brother Andre for the same reason.
