Andre Dirrell: Running or Boxing?

Winky???? Winky comes foward and a fights moron!!!!!

 

He couldn't the ****in guy ran faster then him plain and simple. And Stevens was goin for the body for most of the fight but that old saying the head moves but the body don't was proved so very very wrong tonight.

When your opponent is 7 inches taller has a 2 inch(or more) reach advantage over you and he's faster(on his feet) and he just runs theres really nothing you can do about it.

 

Absolutley, which was the point of my post. Stevens is not very good though.

 

You fight with him he's good, you run from him..........not so good.

 

Then you have been watching a different fighter. He came foward ALL NIGHT against Taylor except in the 12th round. Came foward all night vs Mosley, Trinidad, Vargas, Simon, Quartey, Soliman and every other opponent in the last 7 years. You have no ****in clue what your talking about.

 

If you're a tomato can and you fight with him, he's good. If you're not a tomato can, he's not

Stevens is painfully average and if he wasn't from Brooklyn you would agree. He'd be beaten by just about any top 20 super middleweight

 

Ok whatever you say.

 

Man, you think Stevens is the first guy to have to deal with a mover? :roll:

If that's the case, then please explain how Tyson, Tua, Tito, Cotto, Pacquiao, and all the current punchers manage to wear down and eventually KNOCK OUT such guys.

And BTW, your boy Stevens' face looked pretty lumpy after the fight. Dirrell did WAAAY more than just run.

 

Why do you think he's good? He's already lost twice before he's had 20 fights and, once to a journeyman with a bunch of losses the other to a prospect with 11 fights. Hasn't stepped up his competition from the tomato can/journeyman/prospect level and is already losing. Everyone he's knocked out has been a no namer, most of them tomato cans that have been KO'd repeatedly in the past

You're on his bandwagon because he's from Brooklyn. Not saying everyone you like has to be a star but the truth is the truth. Stevens is a decent fighter but nothing special. His skills are at best average and his power is not that great. What, besides him being from Brooklyn, makes you think he's a threat to any ranked boxer in the division?

 

He left eye was a little swollen he he marks up very easy.

 

"After 10 rounds Dirrell only landed 98 punches. " Most of which were weak anyway, as Dirrell was constantly running. Horrendous fight, you probably wont see him on tv any time soon again.

 

Unfortunately, I agree. Even when Stevens threw multiple punches, they looked sloppy and disorganized. He never really set anything up, just lunged and then got caught out of position/tagged whenever Dirrell punched. I don't think Curtis is good enough to even be a gatekeeper.

I've already said my piece on Dirrell. If he hopes to make the big dollars, he'd better start to recognize where his opportunities are. Last night, he could have busted Stevens up and maybe even stopped him simply by digging in and throwing punches. He had very little to fear in return, and that way he'd have excited the fans and probably gotten another HBO date.

I talk **** about Spinks, but Cory fights the only way he can. Had he traded with Taylor, he'd have gotten KOd. What Dirrell did last night was much worse, doing just enough to win without really putting himself out there. He could have won that fight any number of ways.

 

**** Dirrell. He is a ***** who is scared of Stevens. Stevens will go down to middleweight and dominate those ****ers just like how he does to most of his opponents.

 

Dirrell like it or not is going to be a world champion. The thing is he is a work in progress, and with only 11 fights maybe he shouldnt have been on a tv fight already, not on HBO anyways. Is he fan friendly?? Not at all, will that stop him from being a world champ?? NOPE hasnt stopped other fighters with that style. HBO has a method to the madness of that fight. They know that Mags fight with Ndou would be boring as hell so they put that fight on first, they would have normally just shown the replay fight then the live fight its the way that they have always done it.

What gets me is how mags fought the same way except in a few spots were he would stop and throw a combo once or so a round, and some of you seem to think that it was SOOOO different. Spinks fights just like Mags but he is a runner??? HMM that sounds abit.............Well Im not going to go there, but you all know what Im talking about:hi:

 

Yeah when they suck.....Stevens like I told Cash a week ago was an opponent, if not it was a fight that wouldnt have been made at that point in Dirrells career.
