    coming from an aussie billy the kid is the ****!
    haha no seriously he's a good fighter just won the IBO title in Oz in kind of controversial circumstances but he is still undefeated-he trained a bit with sugar shane-shane seemed to think he had potential to become great
    this will b a real test for him for sure

    He's very average, he thinks he's Naseem Hamed except he lacks the talent/skills to pull it off. He doesn't have much power and so far it looks like he has an average chin, he also has pretty leaky defense due to his low hands. He is far to cocky for his own good and hopefully his last performance gave him a much need kick in the ass. In the view of most he was very lucky to win the fight.

    Dib is crap.

    He will get thoroughly outclassed and stopped, even by the relatively light punching Luevano.

    expect Luevano to win a competitive but clear cut victory, Dib will give him problems but not enough to beat him

    He trained with Naz and honestly it was probably the worse thing he could have ever done. Came out with a style that wouldnt work for him and an ego that his ability couldnt deliver for.

    He is talented and athletically gifted but he doesnt have much substance, flashy and moves around a lot but really not a lot comes out of it.
    If Luevano is anything he is workman like and has a bit of substance..shouldnt gel well for Dib.

    That being said Dib still isnt bad and is one of our better prospects. He cops some flak because he bit a dude in the ring and people dont understand why he gets so much attention and so many breaks but better fighters down here do not.

    Luevano should win but wouldnt actually be the biggest upset in the world if he didnt, he isnt particularly any better than average.

    oh yeah incredible performance. first world championship in the new O2 arena i thought.i loved how everybody was pulling for cookie then aroudn the mid way stage the crowed were turning into a stop the fight mode.

    to be honest i never heard of him until the fight. that left uppercut to the ribs was a thing of beuty.

    i think leuvano is too precise and compact to get caught with the nazesque stuff.

    what made naz so hard to deal with was that his chin and pwoer were some of his best attributes. his reactions and body popping were just to make him hard to look good against.

    dib i think will get outpointed clearly.

    Im an Aussie and Dib's last fight was a terrible robbery, he shouldn't have got it. Any decent pressure fighter would get Dib out of there.

    Dib is like a Naz without a rock chin or heavy hands, so hes essentially not like him at all.

    das ist my pointen i was trying to make...just noticed how bad mien gammer is.

    that part was suggesting that dib hasnt got the quality's that you need to pull off these stunts. most guys who do that ingle style in the gym only the pretend to box. guessing thats what being slick and effective is.

    QFT.

    Dib is exciting to watch, but he tries to fight like Hamed without having Hamed's talent. I suspect that Luevano's jab will find his face all night long.
