Smith-Dirrell purse bid won for 1.6 million

Yep, it's Anthony.
I'd go with Smith here.

 

Wrong Dirrell!!!

EDIT: KiwiMan beat me to it!!!

 

Dirrell the minor by close but clear decision. Does anyone have the current betting line?

 

Smith 1/2
Dirrell 7/4
Draw 18

 

On paper Dirrel should win this fight.....but the dude lacks heart.

 

Dirrell will make it a dog fight...

 

Anthony is a pit bull, man, it's like pimp said he's a tough dude and Cullum really is untested here. I think Smith who's the bigger guy physically will probably win it though in a battle of wills. Who will win, the pit bull or the rottweiler?

 

Direll really only has one gear, and that's a shame because if he had an extra one he could be a pretty good fighter. He also can be inactive and lackadaisical in the ring. His recent blow out of Truax, where he fought with some passion and killer instinct, is not exactly the norm as to how his fights go.

As is, he's B-Level whichever way you want to look at it. He used to be lauded his power, but quite frankly if you look at his cumulative work he doesn't have much to actually attest to that. I guess I'm trying to say he does everything alright but nothing particularly well. A well rounded but still average fighter.

 

Probably means Smith needs a KO or dominate, and I can't see that happen.
Dirrell close UD.

 

Good matchup for both.

I think Smith having not been in a real test for a while will suffer a bit for it but if he's as good as he's made out to be (which I've become unsure of recently) then he should be looking to scrape a win from a close fight. Pretty hard to call either way but head says Dirrell decision

 

Smith late tko
I see quit in this dog
