Andre Dirrell is now top 10 by all sanctioning bodies

I think the Stevens fight exposed one of Dirrell's flaws ... his lack of side to side movement and head and shoulder movement. I think he's much more improved since the Stevens fight and has let his hands go more. I think that he's head and shoulders above Stevens and did what he had to do to win the fight.

Dirrell is ready for the top contenders of the division and Allan Green has to wisen up ... he says he's not a stepping stone, but the only way to prove that is to keep winning, no one can deny you when you win ... hell it took Kelly Pavlik 7-8 yrs to get a title shot ... it will come if you keep winning.

A win over a former Olympian would get his name out there ... he also needs to get away from Oklahoma ... and fight other places.

You're not a gate keeper if you keep winning ...

Dirrell will beat Andrade, who's too slow ... as long as Dirrell controls the pace and stays active in the ring ... he'll put out a UD or late rounds stoppage.

I think if Dirrell takes Andrade seriously then there's no way that he could lose this fight ... Andrade is slow, lacks fundamentals, and defensive ability.

 

I mean instead of moving backwards ... bounce from side to side then pivot ... he had Stevens confused with his switching stances, but kept backing up in straight lines.
