    Who is truly excited about this fight? 2 potential superstars in our favorite sport, facing each other so early in their careers, wow! Finally something pure in boxing. 2 guys who are friends, trained and fought together in the amateurs, now they will face off against each other. People can say what they want about the super six, but the 360 fight camp shows where you get a good look at the insider type footage of these guys behind the scenes has been very touching and I am now a fan of every single guy competing in the super 6 (even the ones who are out). So, what do you guys think? I'm so much more excited about this fight than any other fight coming up, including Pacquiao vs Margarito because I feel guys like Margarito and Arum are doing a good job selling the fight, only for us to find out once again that Manny is being provided with a punching bag that contains a heart beat (see Clottey). So what do you guys think? Two talents like Ward and Dirrell getting ready to fight each other, I just don't understand why this message board isn't featuring more topics on this fight. People on here are stuck on my favorite fighter, Floyd, who has no future fight anywhere near in sight, and Manny, who's the most exciting fighter in the sport, but he has another perfect match (for him) coming. So what are your thoughts about it?

    (OK if you think Ward headbutts, great, please give real insight)....

    Ward will win by headbutt. Dirrell will fall down on canvas, complain, run, hold, and his fans will proclaim him the winner.

    On the headbutting thing and the other "dirty tacticks" like pushin onto the ropes, holding and hitting of Ward; I know a lot of you don't want to hear this but it's going to play a major factor in this fight. Also how much is allowed by the referee.
    I'm really looking forward to this one. It has the possibilty to become a foty candidate, but also can become a stinker. Anyway I'm really excited about this one.

    If cuts dont happen. This could be Dirrel's breakthrou performance, even more so than abraham. at least we know ward wont punch him when he's down.

    prediction: andre will win

    Dirrell has one quality win with Abraham and one quality loss, even though he held something like fifty million times against Froch. I'm not sure how he has vaulted so highly in popularity and praise. Ward should and in my opinion will win around 9-10 rounds on the UD.

    As long as the fight isn't in California it should be relatively fair. I like Dirrell's style of boxing, I actually favor him to win a fight against Ward but I can def see a draw.

    Ward's mental strength and punch resistance will win him this fight. I so badly want to say Dirrell wins, but there are too many ways for him to lose this one.

    ps. Froch v Abraham will be HUGE. Maybe FOTY and someone will get KO'd.... Probably the cobra.

    Wonder if Ward will have his personal referee this time?

    ive said it before and il say it again. This is the biggest fight of 2010 and the most evenly matched.

    But i can see Ward winning it using his roughouse tactics, punch, punch, hold, turn punch, hold, push, hold, punch, look at referee, jab, jab, hold, punch, raise hand at the end of each round.
    WARD UD

    you know what is exciting is in the "not knowing". I find Ward as a very impressive fighter, who is willing to do what it takes to win and in a very aggressive way. Dirrel is skilled, great athleticism for a pure technical boxer.

    I mean, these are technical guys who will be there to box. Gameplan round per round will matter. skill against skill is always great to watch. I could possibly learn a lot in this fight.
