The Dirrells V Truax and Caparello

Nothing amazing but not bad for a friday night on spike tv. Truax was stopped by jacobs last year and also lost a UD to jermaine taylor a few years ago(knocked down taylor though). Caparello knocked down Kovalev in the first round when they fought and succeeded in making kovalev angry and ended up being stopped in the 2nd round..

Not really hyped up for the dirrells anymore due to their recent defeats but these should be a couple of interesting fights, I will be watching.


Anthony is fighting Truax and Andre v Caparello btw..

Its not a law firm but a fight card starting now. Anthony Dirrell 28-1-1 Vs. Caleb Truax 26-2-2. Brother Andre comes in off loss to DeGale looking to rebound vs Blake "I'm the guy who knocked Kovalev down" Caparello 22-1-1. Spr Bantam Jonathan Guzman fights Daniel Rosas.

;D Cool, just merged.

Man I miss Paulie calling fights on spike.

Truax had a pretty bad draw with a fellow called ossie duran from ghana(I think :S), not long before jacbos stopped him.. I have a friend who occasionally trains or trained at the same gym as Truax so I am hoping Truax does well but I don't think he has much of a chance, he will make it interesting though.

Rosas the mystery man from Meeheco...no idea. But ibf has him in eliminator here :-X. Rough and tumble solid comer in 1st.

Thx 4 update. @ work, so I'll check here 4 results!

Guzman v Rosas on just now, super bantamweights. Apparenlty the winner of this will fight Shingo Wake for the wba belt, will they have to face Rigondeaux after that as he has the super wba belt?.


Guzman looks pretty good and i think he will stop him before the 6th.

I suspect guzmans shorts also shrunk in the wash/dryer or something :S

I thought he said the winner fights wake for the wba belt :S but he also just said it was an IBf eliminator...

I must have misheard him :S

Guzman is landing some powerful shots and he hurt him there , he seems pretty impatient though, wasted a lot of energy trying to finish rosas off and wasted a fair bit of energy i'd guess.

This turned into a tale of two levels in the blink of an eye, Guzman knocked him from rope to rope late third. Legs of Rosas locking up at the bell!

Sounds like winner faces Shingo Wake for Framptons vacated trinket...Rosas ranked 14th. Wow. Not so eliminator as it is guiding Guzman through door with a wink ;D

Rosas taking and giving though in 4th, didn't come to fall down but

rosas is pretty good at staying standing... errrr now he's down :S should make it to the next round though


How old is guzman? he definently needs to calm down a bit and be a bit more disciplined, looks to me like he is wasting a load of energy on missed punches trying to finish hims off..

Well..he just fell down.

Tremendous left hook by Guzman

guzman v rosas is a pretty fun fight, you should try to watch it sometime if you can.

ohhhh ref stopped it after the 8th.... I think rosas could have survived a bit longer, he seemed to be falling down pretty easily at the end of that round. I think it was a good choice for rosas health, he was taking a pounding .

Rosas is crude with a balance problem and too tough for his own good. Good stoppage!

Kid was getting hammered, big brass though. Wonder what Guzman is weighing here. Lil sluggish

oh wow dirrell got to him early, nice :S

1st round stoppage and a backflip

Truax acted like he could not see the right hand! Expected it to go a few rounds, it was like taking candy from a baby.

First round demolition of Truax! Didn't see that coming. Wish he'd shave those pirate mutton-chops

Rosas?

Anthony Dirrell just stoped truax in the first round, he looked pretty intense and really up for it, hats off to him. I am now looking forward to seeing him in title fights.

Farhoods top 5 brother boxers...Kameda bros ranked 5th ???

thinking pbc intends to show them fight soon :-X

Andre full control over two. Stopped Caparello in his tracks twice...Ohhhhh Dirrell knocked down :o

Caparello just knocked down andre with a good punch, looked like dirrel was starting to gain control to..

c'mon the pasty aussie

Turned into a give and take now, Dirrell sharp...Caparellos left eye is slamming shut fast!

Looks like Andre is back taking control now, maybe he got a bit hot headed seeing his brother win so early..


Strange choice of opponent though, Caparello is pretty much known for losing in 2 rounds to kovalev(well outside of Australia i guess) but he is a bigger guy..Seeing as he was already stopped in 2 rounds before I don't see how andre can look super good v this guy.

Laughing my ass off at Andre, got knocked on his ass, and still can't get rid of this pasty Aussi. He has got to be as mad as a wet hen! Funny!

Odd man, Caparello playing trap puncher looking to survive, and Dirrell over thinking it also and almost weary

Not a bad scrap. Caparello is a bit cagey and gets physical. Have near 7-3 Dirrell

what the dickens is going on :S

The interview makes me wish Caparello was a puncher ;D

guy screaming about being denied and posting to FB live when he's coming off having his arse kicked for belt. Bizzar

So Andre had to redeem himself from a knockdown.

I suspect Andre was embarrassed and frustrated by the Caparello fight. Anthony has a super outting against Truax, with a 1st round KO, while he suffers a legit KD and can't get a KO over 10 rounds against the soft punching Aussie. I can understand why he was wanting to talk about anything but the fight. Andre needs a few good outings, without doubt.

Larry Merchant woulda told that asshole to put the phone down or we're not doing the damn interview.

Ridiculous behavior.

This fight is on Spike TV today 10pm @Fenster @Batman and anyone else who has it.
