Adonis Stevenson vs. Dmitry Sukhotsky & Ionut Dan Ion vs. Kevin Bizier II RBR

Round 3

Dirrell is measuring with the right jab, paddling it off Edwards' guard and forehead, and then drilling in the left. Edwards backs across the ring, crashing into the ropes. Right jabs on the body by Dirrell. Edwards rushes in, hacking with a right hand, missing, falling into a clinch. Dirrell spins him to the next set of ropes, pumping right jabs. Dirrell is throwing high flurries over the head now, Edwards weaving in low. Edwards hooks at the body but Dirrell sidesteps and shoeshines down at the back of Edwards' head. Left hand leads from outside by Dirrell, stepping and pivoting after each. Clinch. Dirrell comes diving in with a left speared hard on the body. Edwards tries brawling with him but Dirrell leans back and lands a double right hook.

10-9 Dirrell

30-27 Dirrell

 

:good

Edwards is a solid B+ dude, but Dirrell outclassing him and cruising to an uneventful decision really teaches us nothing.

If he wants to make a statement, Dirrell should find a way to (carefully! Intelligently!) get the stoppage. He is walking the "puncher" in the match-up down, after all.
