September 12th, 2009 - night of the mismatches

Okay... so how does Andre Dirrell deserves to challenge Carl Froch if Perdomo is woefully undeserving to challenge Kessler?

 

I never said that Dirrell deserves a chance at Froch. You're the one who is up in arms about that. Why should I have to explain why he's worthy when I don't necessarily think that he is either? I would have rather seen Lucian Bute as the 6th guy. I'm making the case that you have a guy like Perdomo who hasn't beaten anyone in the top 20 let alone the top 10 getting a chance to fight Kessler and you're bringing up wins over guys like Velazco and Herrera as validation while also using losses (not wins mind you) to average fighters at best in Sartison and Veit. Let's not make those two out to be worldbeaters.

 

Calderon vs Mayol is a mismatch on paper but the first fight was quite competitive, Calderon was begining to dominate, but the style of Mayol was a little problem for Calderon early on , and Calderon being past his best making the fight more competitive. Still i expect Calderon to beat Mayol easy in a rematch

 

I'm not. But they are names a LOT of other world titles challengers can't show up including Dirrell, which was an example. It's not that Dirrell wouldn't beat Perdomo, it's me showing the where the argument can get wrong. Perdomo doesn't have Ws over worldbeaters, but at least has something unlike many others who are protected/padded then undeservingly challenge for a title at some point.

 

Yeah I see what you're saying and it's cool. I didn't mean to jump on your original post like that but it's all in good fun. I wish Perdomo luck but not too much cuz I'm a Kessler fan and I'd like to see him go on and win the tournament.
