Are you getting Anthony confused with Andre lol. This is a guy who went life and death with Bika, yes he should have won the fight and got robbed but he's nowhere near his brothers skill. Callum should win this one.
This is guna be good if it definatly happens, i think they are quite evenly matched, Boxing doesnt have to be elite vs elite to provide us with the best fights. I think Dirrell would edge it but i wouldnt put money on it. I do like Callum Smith but ive always seen him as just ever so slightly overated.
Anthony lacks the mindset. He is never going to be elite. Beat the weakest titlist in the division and then got basically schooled by Jack.
Who has Callum Smith fought worth mentioning and how is he getting a title shot? The SMW division must be back to the doldrums again.
This what happens, when you stack one division on top of another, with little gaps in weight, and then add 4 belts. And Smith has held some WBC lower tier belts for years now, paying the sanctioning fees and getting the ranking. Corruption at it's finest.
The Dirrellevant bros need to go away already, They've never offered the division nothing but quit jobs, nonstop complaining and extremely boring/negative fighting. Smith is great to watch, but he can get a bit too trigger happy looking for the KO and that could bite him if Dirrellevant survives the early onslaught. My guess is that Dirrellevant will get hurt early, recover and then fight extremely negative from there on out. The latter half of the fight will probably be utter **** with Smith completely gassed and Dirrellevant doing absolutely nothing but flinging jabs out from the backfoot and running away from a practically dead Smith.
No I got the right Dirrell here, I don't think Anthony is very good, but I'm not sold on Callum at the world level, I don't think his best wins are all that impressive all things considered, and I've seen him struggle to look good in enough matches to think The Dog could present him with a few issues. He has a tendency to look fantastic and bomb guys out or look okay and put in so so performances leading to a late stoppage, he vacillates between awesome and average.
I think you're right... Dirrellevant will get his ass kicked early but will survive and Smith will gas, but Dirrellevant will be too much of a ***** to capitalize fully and Smith will win a close decision.. Dirrellevant will then have a hissy fit and claim he got robbed.
Dirrell looks like a sloth, Smith looks like someone who could reach up and grab one down from a tree.
