Before there was GGG, there was Victor Oganov

Not that it's relevant but dirrell and ggg fought in the ams if i remember correct and dirrell lost..

It would be totally different now though.

The similarity ends with the country of origin.

Well he's a Kazak but close enough

dirrell rightly so lost to froch, the scores were a lot closer than they ever should have been

i personally think he should have been DQ'd mid way through the fight, after all holding is a foul

he was beating abraham, but again for the outlandish acting at the end he should have been DQ'd not AA

If I'm not mistaken, they were 1-1 in the amateurs, but that was at 168. Dirrell is the naturally bigger man. I'm not sure what's left of Dirrell at this stage. He had his shot at Ward, but bailed. Is he retired? Dirrell seems to have a lot of physical gifts, but problems with the mental game.
