I remember the opening night of the tournament, being a boxing fan i had been excited about it for some time
watching the first fight between taylor and abraham i wasnt disapointed, both men looking to land punches and both trying to win
then the fight was over and i hoped for more of the same
in step dirrell, his unwillingness to engage was a disgrace, he ran and he ran and made it one of the worst fights i have seen and carl froch hadnt ever been in a bad fight before
not long before i had seen one of froch's old foes matthew barney disqualified early in a fight by richie davies for too much holding, if richie had been the ref that night it wouldnt have lasted 3 rounds
then dirrells 2nd fight, admittedly it was a little more entertaining (he couldnt have made it any worse) probably because abraham didnt hunt as much as froch did dirrell dint run as much, but the performance at the end? I have actually read in places people believing he wasnt play acting
my my, the crying as well when the result was being read out
I have heard many people, specially on this forum, say that MMA is taking fans from boxing, well if anything is going to do that andre dirrell is your man
this is suppose to be boxings premier tournament
