Andre Dirrell vs Bute

I'd go Bute late stoppage or by 3-5 points, at this stage, if I had to choose.

 

Whatever,Bute beats this guy,he is still unproven.Oganov was just a test.I'd like to see him vs Zuniga,Pascal etc before talking abut Bute fighting him

 

dirrell has a questionable chin.... would take bute as this point...dirrell has been brought along extremely slow.....

 

Oganov didn't throw any punches, so I'm not sure what this fight is supposed to have proved, except that Oganov is a punching bag and overrated as hell and that the ref gave Dirrell a gift by stopping it early, for no very good reason.:huh

 

He was better than the journeyman he fought up to this point.Dirrell has a long way to go.Dod you hear Ciocan got TKO'd:-( ?Dislocated shoulder,quit after 1 round,bad debut

 

I was not impressed with Oganov at all. He was following Dirrell around and not throwing any punches! What was the point of that?!

Ciocan...well...these things happen. It's not the end of the world by any means. Let's hope the shoulder problem is a one-off.

 

Well everyone was talking this and that about Oganov...they won't now

 

Given all this hype surrounding a not so impressive performance by my eyes, I'll go ahead and make the call that Dirrell will be the next hype-job to be exposed. He makes way too many fundamental errors despite his natural gifts.

 

I think Dirrell is the future Super-mid champ...he may be unknown, and not fought the best, but neither was Ali prior to Liston fight

 

Yeah but there not going to be fighting right now so thats irrelevant. Andre Dirrell has a very lengthy amateur career winning the National Golden Gloves in 2003 and the Olympic bronze in 2004. Dirrell is just so much more skilled than Bute, it's really no comparison, it's only a matter of time until they fight. Once Dirrell becomes WBO champion he will be ready for Bute. He will either knock him out or completely outbox him.

 

As we learned the amateur background doesn't count much in the pros,Check Bute's amateur career and I think you will find something better than Dirrell's.More skilled?How can you tell?He hasn't fought nobody really good to push him.Once he becomes champ?Maybe IF mister cuz Inkin would be favorite and KO Bute or totally outbox him?Are you crazy?This american hype really is pathetic already.So far he can't carry Bute's mouthpiece...:yep

 

I'd pick Bute to comfortably beat him at this stage. Dirrell hasn't exactly fought any world beaters just yet. Stick him in with another 2-3 top 15 ranked guys and we'll see how he does. But, I think he's a KO waiting to happen.

 

Who has Bute fought? Thats what inquiring minds want to hear. Lets see you break out all these world beaters. :rofl I will wait. And just for kicks throw in Kessler and Froch too.

 

I dont believe Bute has the style to capitalize on Dirrel's weaknesses.
I say Dirrel beats him in a shootout.

 

Bika,Berrio and Andrade were all top 10.Plus the rest of opposition was good also.Dirrell has fought absolutely nobody and didn't look good.He can't carry his jockstrap:deal
