Every now and then, we had one of these thread started on ESB. Well guess what... He is fighting august 1st in Seatle against Renan St-Juste, who lost to his brother few years ago. Source: http://www.rds.ca/combat/boxe/renan-st-juste-retrouverait-dirrell-1.1319764
Gotta say I'll only believe it when I see him get into that ring. The only thing that can be said about St -Juste is that he's arguably a step up from Andres last coupla opponents. If he's only going to fight once every 18 months though I guess it doesn't really matter who he fights cos he ain't gonna be relevent - if he wants get the bigger fights he's going to have to pick up the pace... a lot.
Nice to see him back with at least a "decent" opponent. He's gonna have to fight cheap for a while though.....cuz his name don't sell shiit, and his LOC is average. Hopefully he can piggyback off his brothers success, and it will motivate him to have some ambition again.:-(
Total waste of talent.He and Ward should get their **** together and get on with it or **** off for good.
How many times have we heard from Ward since S6 : "not worthy enough" or "why should I travell", or this or that. Ward has part of the blame. Ward can't sell and apparently wants more than 2 millions for every fight according to one of Quebec's promoter.
