Thread: Dirrell gained a new fan this weekend

I was more than impressed by his performance against AA this weekend, he showed me he had things I didn't think he had such as a great boxing brain, decent power, a good chin and the ability to stick to an effective game plan!

Yes this was by far his best performance against his best opponent to date.

He's been looking good every since he ran from Curtis Stevens a few years ago to a UD.

He looked GREAT against Anthony Hanshaw a couple years ago.

And he def was playin it safe with Froch late, but I felt he should have gotten the decision.

Dirrell is the fastest boxer in the super 6. Even faster than Ward I think.

I just hope he isn't ruined by Abrahams antics at the end! I really lost respect for him when he did that. IMO he knew exactly what he was doing!

I agree. The bully was humiliated and pissed off and was going to hurt/KO Dirrell by any means necessary. If that meant hitting him while he was on one knee then so be it.

I agree. I disliked him after the Froch fight, though I still feel he won, but I came around because of the Abraham fight. Even before the fight itself, I thought he came across really well in the pre-fight video they showed, even though I was cheering for Abraham. His performance was very impressive and like you guys are saying I hope he doesn't suffer any lasting effects of Abraham's cheap-shot

I'm of the opposite opinion to you guys.

I was impressed with Dirrell purely on a boxing level up to the DQ but the play acting at the end angered me. It's been debated to death on here already so lets not get caught up in that, but I'm of the opinion that the shot wasn't all that hard and Dirrell exagerrated it to guarantee the DQ...

IMO Dirrell's acting overshadowed his performance and undone any credibility he'd gained..
