    Peterson bro's are very boring !! They aren't accomplished as pro's and I hope to see them get a chance at a title but they're painful to watch.

    Judah needs to be gifted with a chin of some sort ... atleast both Andre's can stand tall against some heat.

    It wasnt close. Dirrell in a nuetral venue wins by 8-9 rounds. But what are you gonna do. I predicted Ward to school Kessler. And if he stay hungry, we could see very interesting ward vs dirrell round 3.

    I think people are being to harsh on Dirrell.
    He only has 18 pro fights, he can improve.

    Dirrell is more gifted, but Ward's dirty tactics are more developed.

    For Ward, I haven't seen the Miranda fight, but from what I've heard, I'll hold my judgment on that.

    I want Dirrell to win and I think he can win, but AA's power is scary, and he has a chance against anyone, even though I despise his style. He can end the fight quickly. If Dirrell gets through him, it'll be huge.

    I agree, but as far as that goes there are very few fighters today that are as gifted as Dirrell if any. But that dont mean that he will be a better fighter. Over the past 15 years I felt that Zab Judah was one of if not the most talented fighters in the world but that wasnt enough for him to get to the top and stay there. I dont really know what I feel about Dirrell, will he become another Judah?? Or will he reach to the heights that his talent can take him??

    Smart fighters prevail ... and both have shown to be smart fighters, its just one is more physically talented than the other ... that fighter is Dirrell, if he can match discipline with his tools then hell be head and shoulders above the rest.

    These 2 guys took big risks in joining this tourney. Huge risks, they got my respect as soon as they joined it.

    That's the scariest part about AA. He could be down 10 or 11 rounds for all I care, but I'll probably keep holding my breath. All it takes is one punch.

    Yep, I predicted Dirrell to breeze by Froch. But against Abraham, Abraham has true power. Froch and Kessler had fake power. They beat you up then stop you. Abraham only needs one punch. He is also very good defensively.

    That gif would've been a stoppage if Dirrell had more experience. Froch wasn't the stronger man that night and i'm positive that Froch's claim of being a strong fighter is overrated. He hadn't knocked out anyone of note other than Taylor and you can blame fatigue on that. Pascal who probably has the weaker chin out of Dirrell and Taylor, stood toe to toe with Froch and went the distance.
