In my opinion, if he was mentally focussed he could beat him in fairly convincing fashion. IMO Ward, Bute, Dirrell are tough to seperate, I could see Bute getting outboxed by wither or landing one of those bodyshots on either. Alls im saying is imo Ward isnt clear and away the #1 in the division, ill expand on it later, but your thoughts?
In theory Dirrell has the skills to beat Ward . If he turned up focused and ready to fight to the best of his ability and tried to win the fight rather than trying to spoil his way to a decision then he could win . I suspect that Dirrell isnt capable of doing that though
I can't really see it. I see 12 rounds of Dirrell bitching to the ref before complaining about the decision
I really don't think Dirrell is any more skilled than Ward. Unless flashyness is now considered skilful..... Ward would bash him up, Dirrell probably quits on his stool citing [insert fake injury here] or runs around and cries robbery afterwards. They're light years apart, God knows how rusty he'll look in this comeback fight after nearly two years off.
Dirrell is a very good defensive fighter but got hit with some big shots against Abraham if I remember right (prob don't...) . If Abraham can hit him then Ward certainly can.
Yeah he did, especially late. I think he put too much into those earlier rounds so started to slacken off as Abraham got going. Against Froch it was the opposite.
Never going to happen. He's been boxing since his adolescence at least, he just doesn't have a fighters mentality.
