Dibb seems to be his own worse enemy with the crap he pulls in fights. I think his mental side is the one that needs ad******g. Just because he had Mosley & Oscar behind him at one stage doesn't quite equal that he has made it on the world scene. But he does have talent you can't deny that.
How he didn't get DQ'ed against the Jap at Luna Park still has me stuffed! Z grade stuff by Dib and the referee, who was right there, and saw nothing.
Looking forward....I must be the only guy who see Billy as a good chance for a title shot early 2011 :hi:
i don't like the guy, but he looked good in the fight with browne. but his opposition has gone down, not up imo. don't know how good he is because he spends his whole time in the ring trying to look fancy instead of just getting the job done properly. we will find out sooner or later. he is no.4 IBF, so he may get a shot soon.
There's no question on his talent Ash but he's not mentally ready to beat a world class fighter imo. Couldof agree entirely.............definately should of been DQ.
His next opponent is definitely a step in the right direction, judging by his record. Looking forward to it.
P4P Billy hits hard....I have seen him in training and Billy H has him going strong....he will stop every fighter put in front of him from now on IMO:deal
19 wins over Argie cabdrivers and a blowout loss to Steve Molitor isn't that much of a step up. I haven't seen this guy, but I'm guessing he's no better than Rogers Mtagwa or Edgar Vargas. Better than the bums he's been facing lately though, I guess.
Yeah I know I make a few more strange calls than the average bloke......I guess we will see how Billy goes SEPT 2....IMO round 4 KO on his way to a an early or mid year title shot 2011 :good
well he is ranked no.4 IBF so it probably depends on whether he wants it or not, because there will be money there for it.
Molitor is 1 of the biggest punchers around at Super Bantam.:yep If Dib doesnt KO this opponent it would be a major disappointment.
