Andre "The Matrix" Dirrell vs. "Bad" Chad Dawson

If Dirrell loses to Ward, I predict he will become the next Zab Judah. Everyone pining over his squandered talent and kissing his ass whenever he does literally anything and saying "HE'S BACK!" every year or so. I favor Ward, by the way. Not that strongly but I think he wins.

...And **** Chad Dawson for this:

It's questionable whether either fighter would ever get close enough to land a punch. And hell, how are you going to run from a guy who's running from you?? This blows my mind. I don't even know if it's possible.

But if it is, these two would be the dudes to do it. I'll give the advantage to Dawson. He seems to at least have a little bit of fight in him at times, whereas Dirrell has so much ***** in him that it'd be more accurate to say he has some man in him. Which sounds really gay now that I think about it. Whatever.

Dawson UD. But not a knockout, because hitting guys when they're hurt "isn't [Dawson's] fight."

 

Nah, Pascal was circling and picking his spots, trying to walk Dawson onto something. Kinda like the Cuban boxing style we see so much in the amateurs now. The key is PICKING HIS SPOTS. His circling had a purpose, and he was constantly getting in and scoring.

Dirrell's running has no offensive purpose. He does it to buy time, take a break, and keep from getting hit. I can't even explain to you how much his style pisses me off, with the athletic gifts he has. He is a total ****ing waste of airtime and athleticism.

I had no clue how he could show his face in public after his 'effort' against Froch. Completely wasting his first title shot in embarrassing fashion FOR NO REASON. It's not like Froch hurt him and then he decided to run--it was as if he felt he would be awarded the title if he made it to the finish line.

And then he pulls his stupid crying fit against Abraham. Not only did it look fake, we later find out that they legitimize it by saying he had a concussion. Look...I've had multiple concussions, and worse. I've even given someone a concussion by kicking a soccer ball into the side of their head. I've seen boxers get concussions. Nobody acts like that when they get one. A concussion is serious, but it doesn't turn you ridiculously incoherent for that long, or in that way. I'm sure that the punch hurt Dirrell, possibly rocked him much the way a punch leading to a TKO would have had he been on his feet. But it didn't knock him unconscious, and it didn't make him act the way he did.

Dirrell has been on the world stage for two fights now, and he's somehow managed to use both of them to waste his athleticism (I refuse to call it 'skills' or 'talent') and make himself look like a *****.

Dawson wastes his skill and talent at times, but he does it because he apparently has no clue how to string a fight together with fluidity or to fight toward a goal, other than simply trying to one-up his opponent during each exchange.

 

Direll is more busier and has more slick movement, although the class edge is with Chad, and he has been at the higher level for longer and in many ways is more proven, i will stick my neck out and say Dirrell by a slight edge... Just because his time is just about here.. Chad has had a good run and seemed a bit out of sync against the Canadian (Pascal.) It is to be seen though, its just all based on theory at the minute..
