If The Matrix Dirrell were to face Bute this year, he'd open up a can of whoop ass

Bute is faster, stronger, more skilled, and more experienced.

 

Andre's not ready for that kind of fight this year because his camp is progressing him slowly- if they move him much slower it will be stagnating his career, really, but to be fair, their original plans of getting him a title sooner failed when Inkin lost.

Either way, look for his next fight or two to be against top 11-20 comp, then a move up in class depending on how he looks. If he has another fight like the Stevens one, look for them to give him an extra soft touch in the following fight just to get his momentum back.

It's probably going to be at least until 2010 that he gets a title shot.

 

Andre dirrel can DEFINETLY beat bute. To beat andre you have to pressure him. Look at how hanshaw dropped him in the first rounds of their fight. Hanshaw went "balls out, right in his face, take yo ****" style. It spelled disaster for andre and Bute is not one of those fighters. Bute is sit back and counter punch. If librado andrade fought dirrel, bet the house on andrade. THAT is the type of fighter who will destroy andre dirrel. BET THE HOUSE IF THAT FIGHT HAPPENS.

 

Maybe in hand speed in a slight margin which he showed agains....Findley and .....yeah....the other guys.With Bute he won't be able to.
In other aspects Bute is faster than him.

 

Why is that, were is the proof...Just because you say it dont make it true...My guess is Dirrell is about on even par with Bute right now, but will soon past him based on more talent. Bute isnt the strongest willed and chinned fighter, or eles he wouldnt have fell apart at the end of the Andrade fight, Kessler didnt have that problem at the end with him...I think that you pretty much being a homer on this one, and its blinding you.

 

My biggest concern is that Andre seems to lose focus at various times during a bout. Pulling at his trunks, nearly turning his back on his opponent. It reminds me of Green looking at his god damn shoes.
A brutal fight, where he is behind on points going into the championship rounds, might do him a world of good.

Bootay seems more focused, so I wouldn't want to see this fight just yet.

WTF do I know?

 

19 ko's in 24 fights. seems he's pretty good at taking people out.

 

that could just as easily apply to you

 

Let's see how Dirrell passes a test like Andrade before we say he's "already on a par" with Bute. He needs a step up from the Findley's and Hanshaw's of the world before a comment like that holds any water.

 

You bet on the wrong people time after time. Dirrell isn't even the best prospect, WARD is.

Dirrell ha ha ha.

 

''Taken out'' is a lot to say about a KD.
Did Dirrell get ''taken out'' by Rocha?

 

Fact is Dirrell right now is a green fighter. He looks like one of the Peterson brothers when he fights which is not a compliment.

Ward is the real horse to bet on at 168 as he's faster, smoother, slicker, more versatile, and more powerful than Dirrell and in his fights, he's shown the ability to ADAPT.

He's the goods. Dirrell will eventually just be a contender while Ward may be the new Calzaghe.

 

:dead

 

What the **** are you talking about?

Calzaghe is up there with Mayweather in terms of boxing skill and adaptability. The only reason you don't recognize that is because it's obvious you don't recognize **** when you're tryin to talk **** about Calzaghe, yet you're on Dirrell's dick when the mother ****er is out there lookin like Lamont Peterson.
