Andre Dirrell

Based on skills, Dirrell is above Bute because Bute has noone good on his resume. :nut

That's the type of "analysis" we're being treated to here. If you're going to compare skills, talk about Bute's skills, not his resume, you twat!
Bute has great precision, timing, strength, variety, combinations, etc. Pretty complete package, which is why I rate him no1 skillwise.

 

Dirrell is a talented fellow. :hat

direll is the second or third ebst sm worldwide. so far a waste of talent, needs to step up or gtfa.

 

Having a brain is also one of the skills you can have, and Dirrel doesn't seem to have that one.

 

Dirrell would beat Ward

 

Very talented with a good win over Abraham. Not much more to say, I look forward to him finally stepping on the gas in his career.

 

He was someone I used to root for. Until he turned out to be a ****ing douchebag.

Abraham must've really messed Andre up. I saw him calling Bute a bum while the amnesia forced him to forget the only guy he's beaten in 2 years is Darryl Cunningham.

 

I don't rate him highly despite the fact that on my card he beat Froch. I never thought of it as a robbery. It was just close enough, to me. Besides, he had no situational awareness and the fight was close enough that he could've expected he wasn't doing enough to get the judges on his side in Froch's backyard. If I recall correctly, his own corner told him he wasn't doing enough. That's a very poor sign, whether it's his heart or head that allowed him to lose that. Because he either didn't understand what he needed to do to punctuate his pugilistic superiority or he didn't have the heart to try hard enough.

My expectation is that he gets a hold of some world title, somewhere, at 168 or 175, maybe has one more official big name win somewhere, but ultimately proves he's not made of the stuff that makes anything special as a championship-level fighter. A Judahlike example of great athletic talent not making a great fighter, until proven otherwise. I doubt he becomes as accomplished as Judah though. Of course, Judah won his first world title less than four years after turning pro and Dirrell's already been a pro for 7. It's something to think about how Donaire is only about a year older than this kid. That and the fact that he's only fought twice in the last two years and has no fight scheduled yet for this year, I just don't expect much to be accomplished from him.

 

He smashed Carl Fraud

 

He could've beaten Froch but he flopped to the floor whenever Froch threatened him. The judges, correctly, took that into account.
