OK I am a Dirrell supporter for the most part but whoa! Maybe you guys didn't watch it live but I was psyched for that fight and it SUCKED. Mar is right, Dirrell was talking a whole lot of trash before that one and so was Stevens. Stevens was never given a chance. I mean that was honestly one of the worst fights I ever saw between two amateur superstars (Stevens might have had the better career then Dirrell even without the medal). I can see why he was cautious and I can see why Stevens was a bit reserved, but that fight sucked on both ends. Sure Dirrell did the smart thing and got the win the way he knew he could and yeah put it behind you but Dirrell deserves all the criticism he gets for that one. Yeah he got the win but if he wouldn't have learned from that and continued to fight that way he wouldn't be in the tournament. In retrospect, good for Dirrell he got a win versus a VERY dangerous opponent, but THANK GOD he didn't keep fighting that way.

I'm sorry it was a display of how fast Dirrell is with his feet but that is never how you want to see a fighter prove that. Come on now again looking back, not so bad considering where he's at now but that is one he's quick to put behind him. I was ready to switch to Anthony Dirrell.
