This hypothetical matchup was just posted on the General. What do you reckon? I think its an interesting matchup. I have only watched in full the one fight with Dirrell. Magee is often a little underated and would certainly tell us a lot about the younger Dirrell. My insticts say say Dirrell would win a close but competetive fight.
Direll beats him, it doesnt help that Magee that he has a style pefectly suited to Direll. Id be mroe hopeful of his chances if he was a big punching pressure fighter actually. In terms of Direll career it is a nice step up for him fom his last fight, without actually fighting an elite 168 pounder.
Anthony, Mand. He doesn't impressive me. I think Magee would be very competitive with him, but lose a decision.
How good is Anthony? Think I've only seen him once and that was after his long lay off due to illness so he obviously wasn't at his best.
Sorry didn't read it properly. I think it would be a good fight, Anthony's slower then his brother but digs a bit with shots and is a decent fighter in his own right. I think Brian would cause him issues early on, trouble him with sneaky left hands behind southpaw lead. I could see Brian winning it, it's a closer fight then against his bro.
