Also Margo has already been punished. Whereas Dirrell cheated his way out and is getting rewarded for it. Margo didnt get the Pacquiao fight because he cheated.
Because he has a huge saying in whom he fights. It's unfair to guys like Abraham, Froch and Ward who I know for sure would love to get the Bute fight.
but the principle remains he should NEVER have been in a position to be allowed to fight manny and i agree with you that direll doesnt deserve a big fight, but somehow layin the blame at the feet of bute for it is unreasonable. he can only fight who as of his new contract, showtime put in front of him lets not forget the real culprits - dirells team. its clear he is pretty well controlled by those around him and im sure direll would have fought hte ward fight had they let him. it wouldnt surprise me if showtime were being spiteful and given the circumstances, it would be understandable. they have thrown him into (speculation) a fight he would probably lose worse than ward, or else get sued and be forced to remain inactive until the super 6 is over, not to mention being blacklisted from hte 2nd biggest tv channel
This is silly. Dirrell hasn't 'cheated' and it's nothing to do with Bute. Dirrell has run away from a challenging situation, faked his way out of a tough fight and weasled out of a tournament that was too hot for him. All of which he should rightly be ridiculed for. He lacks balls and mental strength. That's not Bute's fault. Showtime are the only party who should be aggrieved with Dirrell and if they prefer rather than having a lawsuit that will gain them nothing to instead cash out Dirrell by letting him get pummelled into retirement by Bute, why should anyone else care?
Dirrell takes on Bute to weasel his way out of a tough spot...? If that is his plan, he's brain damaged allright... and so are those who blame Bute for taking on a Top SMW and the best opponent available, having blamed him for YEARS for fighting "bums".
Nope. If Dirrell is faking its so he can make more money against Ward in the long run. They've been fighting eachother since the Ams. Besides getting illegally fouled by Abraham. Dirrell hasnt had that difficult a tournament. Its not hard to completely outskill physically and athletically inferior athletes. Ward would have been a tough fight but IF he is backing away its a money issue not a fear issue. You have a funny imagination limey.
Dirrell vs Bute would be a great fight. He's not that athletically inferior, and not your typical skillless European.
Yeah, he's from the skillful part of Europe. Dirrell would be floored. In the British sense of the word...
Yeah Eastern european fighters tend to be far superior to the western European counterparts. Outside of Lennox Lewis there hasnt been a great western european fighter since Max Schmeling. Not a very good talent pool.
If Dirrell faked it was most likely a gentlemens agreement between the two. Ward cleans up the rest of the eurobums. Dirrell takes care of Bute and they meet on HBO next year.
ward knows dirrell is a ***** so he let him get away with it, watch dirrell jump weight divisions t avoid s.o.g
Ward and Dirrell are boys from back in the day. They've sparred eachother before. They came into the tournament knowing they were massively superior to the unathletic slow goofy Europeans.
