Direll excels against fighting opponents who come right to him. Think he gets a fairly underwhelming stoppage, Yildrim barely scraped by a 50 year old Mock. And I mean BARELY scraped by. We already saw Eubank Jr turn this guys lights literally out.
hows andre clearly the better boxer??? what from his 2 best wins over jose and abraham. he won those fights in great fashion and one of them was for a championship belt. Anthony shows alot more heart , will , determination, and desire for the sport then andre ever did. ill take anthony in skill over andre. andre looks all flashy but really hes just running around all over the place. he can slip some punches ok when he puts him self in a horrible spot on the ropes that about it. Anthony will walk you down an try to break you down systematically with smart intelligent boxing.
Anthony completely shut down when Jack pushes him. And Anthony was beyond frustrated vs Bika. They are both limited, but Andre has the better resume and has shown more ability inside the ring.
Now that you mention it he does... Dirrell looks a bit like Ben to me. Anthony Ben Dirrell vs Avni Kyle Yildirim
Andre had the tools to be an elite fighter, but the will wasn't there. He did some great work against Froch in the UK, just didn't have the fire that (for example) Tim Bradley showed when he went over there and took the belt from Witter. Anthony is the better professional and competitor, just not all that exciting as a talent. This is not a legitimate title fight but will be better to watch than whatever crappy NBA game is on.
Certainly not as iron-chinned as you need to be to succeed beyond a certain level with his skill-set and style..
