Dirrell's fight shows that you can't have one style in boxing.

    There was a point in time where the Matrix actually moved like the Matrix. Dirrell certainly lost something in terms of movement, since he doesn't move nearly as much as he did in the past, but he also wasn't able to adapt and get his punches off.

    His opponent was learning forward and exposing himself, but also extending his reach, which was already longer than Dirrell's and getting him in position to keep Dirrell on the end of his punches as he did all night.

    Dirrell's corner never told him to adapt. Sometimes you got to learn to adapt. Dirrell should have attacked first and got his opponent with some viscious uppercuts on the inside and he could have won by KO, but instead, his career should be over.

    That was a vicious KO and honestly it was questionable whether or not it was legal because Dirrell was wide open at that point anyway. It was a truly terrible performance by Dirrell.

    And that sucker punch. Anyway, boxing is about skills.
