    steven's sucks?! I highly doubt it he's 22 with 17 wins 12 Ko 2 losses that should really be only one becuase of a bull **** stoppage.. Stevens can fight and he can wac, IMO he is just too short to fight at 168 at 5'8 but his power is respected at that weight .

    did I say he sucked??? I must have missed something......Stevens is a decent fighter, but for him to have 2 loses at this point isnt a good sign. The one last night isnt going to be a big deal cuz he was in with a guy that will be a world champion, but the other knockout lose..Well that isnt a good sign:hey

    You think? I don't see that at all. There's a huge difference between Malignaggi and Spinks/Dirrell. Trying to say this is racial is really lame.

    for one you need to see stevens fight he was winning his fight with Primera when he got caught with an upper cut but was still on his feet and still fighting when the ref stepped in and stopped the fight too early , Steven would avenge his loss to Primera by dominating him a second time with no hickups. @ 5'8 I will agree his ability is limited at 168 but at 160 and 154 if he decides to move down his power and boxing ability,he has a pretty good chance of ruling that devision.

    Like I said before the first loss was due to a inexperienced ref stopping a fight that Stevens was dominating while still on his feet after being cought by shot he didn't see, he was rocked slightly but far from out on his feet.

    it should also be noted that he came back to avenge that loss in the same fashion he dominated Primera.

    Wasn't the ring pretty small? His opponent must have sucked if he was unable to keep him from running.

    Running. What Paulie did was boxing. Using head and upper body movement, putting combinations together. Dirrell wouldn't commit to a shot and just circled, that isn't boxing. Spinks, Floyd, Paulie, those guys are boxers, Dirrell is not.

    it was a ****ing disgrace..all Direll did was run, run, run run...and run, stick his head out, trash talk, and act like a ****ing moron and than score little random powderpuff potshots.

    worst performance by someone labeled a professional I've ever seen in my entire life.

    what a joke!

    If Stevens wasn't in shape then he wouldn't have gained 10 pounds after the weigh in.

    Stevens should be fighting at 160 not 147.

    What really got me pissed off watchin this fight was that Dirrell was talking so much **** during the fight as he was running away.

    Nope Stevens is a lot bigger wider fighter then cotto and he has always fought at 168 he would be better suited for 160 or 154 but he has way too much muscle and extreamly wide at the shoulder to fight at 147.

    you have no ****ing clue what your tallking about , your bashing a fighter you know little about..

    this was just a bad match up Stevens is a hard hitting counter puncher at 5'8 derell is a fast footed boxer at 6'2 . there body type and fighting style would make for a boring fight . the Tall fighter staying out of harm reach of the shorter more powerful counter puncher . Lewis Vs Tua except and with only 30 fight between the both of them, this fight was a bit early IMO.
