Ill say Dirrell as well.

I thought about that too, but who knows what's up with Dirrell these days.

Yeah I know what you mean. I think Dirrell before the injury takes out Ward and Bute. Still think he won the Froch fight but thats a different story.

He definitely won the Froch fight. Dirrell has all kinds of skill, but he's been painted as a head-case. I don't know if that's fair or not, but I definitely see why people feel that way. I know that I view him as being mentally weak, even as I realize it's probably totally unjustified.

I'm a big Dirrell fan if you haven't noticed. It is hard being a fan. I can't really say that he's weak because I don't know the severity of the injury but I do feel that he did a little bit of acting and that he didn't want to fight Ward who is a good friend. It seems that way.

Is he done as a fighter? I just checked boxrec and he doesn't even have anything scheduled.

I wonder if there's something in his Showtime contract that prohibits him from fighting until the Super 6 is over.

I'm not sure. I remember hearing about him wanting to get back in the ring, that was a few months back, but haven't heard anything else. His brother seems to be taking the spot light now.

This fight was disappointing, but then it figured to be. Johnson needs to go back to fighting on ESPN FNF and forget about fighting the big boys, he's just not competitive. Bute needs to fight one of the other top Super-mids, Froch, Kessler, Ward, et al, enough with the 'cans.

Dirrell has been in the gym and from what I gather is training for a tune-up fight in the foreseeable future. He was brought in the George Groves camp for Groves' preparation for DeGale and tweeted a black eye that Groves gave him. He said Groves was very good too.
