The only hope that Dirrell will have the courage to fight Ward, will be if he follows the yellow brick road.
Dirrell is a *****, we all know this. Talented, yes, but he lacks a fighters spirit IMO, probably because his Grandpa forced him into boxing to make up for his own shortcomings. Dirrell will hopefully 'recover' soon enough to get smashed up by Bute :yep
**** Dirrell.....tournament has been a failure but we've had some good fights which otherwise wouldn't have been made. If Froch-AA falls through I will top myself though.
Tournament hasn't worked out, but as Antcull says: good fights we probably would never have seen, which makes it a big success IMO.

****ing bollocks. Dirrell the ****. The tournament's got to be scrapped now surely? They could keep the Froch-AA fight but who's going to come in now?
So you're not a fan then PK? I don't mind the format. It's a good idea in principle but boxing being as it is, it was always probable that fighters would pull out and it would all end up pear-shaped. We don't need tournaments in boxing, we just need one genuine champion and for him to fight the best contenders. No I'm not naive, I'm aware that this has never really happened in the history of boxing but with all the modern day advances and information we have available, this really should be happening by now. Unfortunately for as long as the alphabelt soup sells this sport and promoters can make money by fraudulently advertising fighters as 'world champions' when really they're nowhere near the thing. I'm a boxing fan I always will be. And I'm not knocking boxers for this because it's a tough game and you can't blame anyone for wanting to make as much money as possible from it, it's how the world works unfortunately. It's just a shame because it devalues boxing as a sport and stops us fans seeing so many fantastic fights.
