    Now that Andre competes @ 175 lbs and wants to prove himself at this weight, he should fight Beterbiev. :yep

    This fight would be a true test for both fighters.

    Could see only a stoppage loss for Dirrell here. Beterbiev would get to (and destroy) him before the middle rounds.

    If Dirrell prepare for a marathon, he could probably run his way out of a UD loss.

    Dirrell would be on his bike for as long as he could run. Not sure if it would be long enough to go the distance or extend Beterbiev into the later rounds, where he has zero experience and is stamina is still unknown..

    Are you serious? Dirrell still breaks out into cold sweats in the middle of the night haunted by the memory of lil' Curtis Stevens chasing after him, he'd have a full-blown nervous breakdown if someone even mentioned Beterbiev's name in passing in his presence.

    He faded late vs Froch and held his way to a loss.

    But he won 5 clear rds vs Froch, and Beterbiev is NOT a better overall fighter than Froch.

    If Dirrel was in perfect form, he could potshot his way to a win IF he was prepared to go 10 hard paced rds.:think

    Before the controversial conclusion, Abraham got to Dirrell late and touched him up pretty good. That fight was at SMW.

    I thought Dirrell was looking damn good in that fight... right up until AA turned up the pressure on him. I feel like Beterbiev will be bringing educated pressure right from the opening bell. Plus he appears to have much more power and could actually campaign at CW.

    Just can't see this fight ending in anything but a stoppage for A. Beterbiev.

    Andre Dirrell is with Al Haymon, I doubt they ever take that fight unless Beterbiev signs with Haymon, something I hope never happens.

    Dirrell could maybe out speed Beterbiev for a UD win.

    But Beterbiev is a better boxer than Froch. Froch is not a good overall boxer, he is slow, his defensive can be sumarized by the idea of blocking punchs with his granite chin. But he has good stamina and really good power wich make him win fights. Froch often loses and than pull a ko victory.

    How can he be overhypped when no (I mean no American) network have been presenting his fight. Some gets really hyped up, top-down, being shoved down our throat by the big corporations (HBO, Showtime). Betterbiev is now more a reffined product that only the connaisseur are looking forward to watch. It is a bottom-up kind of recognition more thant big machine's hype.

    By the way, you better get use to it. Boxing in America is basically dead (not totally because you have Hopkins and Ward, plus the Quebec's guys) at the bigger and smaller weights.
