    I dont give a **** about what euros and canadiens say....beating ****ing Andrade dont make you a good or great fighter. Especially when he knocks your ass out at the end of the fight.

    Come on..., are you guys serious ? I dont even think that Dirrell is ready for Bika or Berrio yet, so wtf ? Andrade KO Dirrell inside 6 rounds and that a fact.

    So who can beat Andrade at 168 ?

    Kessler
    Bute

    - that it -

    Andrade is a beast.

    Dirrell's footwork...well...he moves fast and he finds space quickly. He's a dancer allright. Now, granted, he's inexperienced, and he's not always balanced and he doesn't always find the right distance, or set himself up for effective punching, sure, but, for me, it's not his footwork that I worry most about, but the reason he has to rely so heavily on it...

    ...someone please explain why you think his footwork is so bad...:good

    He aint no damned beast....:rofl He is margarito LIGHT. He arm punches like hell and he has shitty power. If he could bang then you can make that case.

    Im not saying that is footwork is bad..., he got skill for sure.

    But Hanshaw and Oginov..., come on, those 2 are not in the top20 of the division Oginov never beat a top100, Bute fought Bika, Berrio and Andrade, those 3 are in the top10 of the super middleweight division.

    Margarito needed 1000 punch to put Cotto down, cry me a river.

    I don't think Butes chin is that good, but appart from that he's a great Boxer.
    And Dirrell will have to proove himself against a top 20 fighter.

    I think his chin is one of his best points. Why do you think his chin is not that good? He took flush bombs from Berrio on the chin and he was fine! He also took hard punches from Bika, on the chin, and he was fine. Andrade doesn't hit as hard as Bika, and certainly not as hard as Berrio, so...run this by me again...:huh

    Bute was KDed not so much because he was getting really hurt, but because he was getting ground down, exhausted...it didn't have so much to do with his chin as with his toughness/strength and stamina, in my opinion, no?

    In round 5 against Andrade he did'nt looked to good, after a shot from Andrade.
    The only round Andrade won apart from round 12 in my oppinion.
    I have'nt seen the Berrio fight, so maybee i'm on thin ice :think
    still my impression is that Butes chin is suspecth.

    His footwork looks bad becasue he switches stances too much...


    I think that Dirrell is way ahead of Bute in terms of Talent, and skills, but it seems that Dirrell isnt that tough and that would worry me if I was in his corner. However vs Bute that wouldnt come into play..I honestly think that Dirrell would blast Bute out right now and after a year or so that fight will become a mismatch...I think that it will take a fighter like Andrade to get to Dirrell, not fighters like Bute, Kessler or Dawson.

    Kessler would ****ing murder him. Dirrell probably gets backed up when hes working the heavy bag. His name doesn't deserve to be mentioned with guys like Kessler and Dawson just yet.
