Anthony Dirrell vs Steve Collins

Another Collins-Kalambay. That fight was a lot like Calzaghe-Hopkins.

 

Steve Collins would beat the **** out of both Dirrell brothers.

 

Steve was a special fighter, no question.

 

You’re hilarious.

 

I beg your pardon!?

 

Steve Collins beating Nigel Benn wasn’t otherworldly.

Ha!

 

Benn couldn't do anything with that monster. Nothing. To take Nigel Benn's very best shots and not even blink an eyelid is RIDICULOUS.

 

There was also a right hand Eubank hit him with earlyish in the rematch, it looked absolutely frightening and Collins didn't budge. It was like a missile and you can hear the crowd draw their breath.

 

He was finished.

You know that.

There was nothing otherworldly about Benn hurting his ankle and then Collins beating him in the rematch.

It was nothing more than a good win.

 

Only his balance if he missed, due to the brain tissue damage after McClellan. His power certainly wasn't, as is common knowledge the power is the last thing a fighter loses. In fact he was hitting harder because he had finally grown into the weight, and look at the leverage he was getting into those left hooks - he usually kept the hook short on his way in with a little leap, but here is getting his full bodyweight behind the shot beautifully. In fact Freddie Roach showed all his fighters at Wildcard tapes of Benn's hook v Collins as the perfect left hook. His bobbing and weaving looked better than ever in those Collins fights - it was like watching a prime Joe Frazier in there. Steve had to feint, let him move his head and body, then strike once the head was still. Or, take a step back as Benn loaded up to catapult himself into a right hand as Benn either fell short or paused at the point of unleashing. Steve outsmarted Benn tactically and outstrenghed him inside, threw him around like a ragdoll. It was incredible. Benn quit (both times) because he couldn't do anything with that monster, that's the crack.

 

Benn still has scar tissue on the brain from McClellan fight.

 

A bit like a Tyson-Holyfield, Fury-Wilder thing

 

It’s time for your MEDS.

 

Oh bless you. Truth is hard to digest for weak-minded people.

 

Sr. or Jr.?

One is a mismatch in one direction and the other, well..in the other.
