    Well, upon further review, he is in fact 3-0 in world title fights.

    Not bad considering.:good

    This is a BAD fight for Caperello though.

    Everything good that he does, Andre Dirrel does better.

    Theyre fight game is essentially identical with the exception fo Andre's former running style.

    But as for punch selection, slickness etc, they fight much the same, except Dre has a serious speed advantage.

    This aint gonna end well for Capo unless Dre's chins been shattered.

    It seems that Anthony Dirrell is aiming for Badou Jack rematch. Unfortunately for him, it seems that Lucian Bute is the front runner.

    This pretty much removes Andre Dirrell from the WBC title picture (somehow he is not even rated by WBC).

    It is rumored that Andre Dirrell will get another title shot in 2016. What seems to be the most realistic scenario is DeGale-Dirrell rematch, since both fighters are with Haymon and Dirrell is also rated by IBF. Abraham rematch is definitely out of the reach, and obviously S.O.G. would rather call out middleweights as always. It will be interesting to see what will be DeGale's first title defense. That could determine a lot of things at SMW division.

    Al Haymon doesn't do business with James Prince. Will never see Ward vs Dirrell.

    If both fighters want the fight, it will happen regardless of their promoter' feud.

    Andre Dirrell has been on the record several times saying that the fight has to happen at some point and that he knows how to beat Ward.

    Dirrell would fight Ward, make no mistake about it.

    Ward, on the other hand, has been very quiet about the Dirrell showdown.
