I think you could make a case for him being the second best fighter in this tournament. He was unlucky not to get the decision against Froch, and he was beating Abraham handily until the foul, although Artur looked to be closing the gap on him a bit over the previous couple rounds, and maybe got a knockdown that wasn't called.
Either way I'd favour Dirrell to beat everybody now bar Ward, and even there I think he's the only fighter who can trouble Ward. I think Ward just wins this whole thing easy now, different class to the others, but Dirrell won't be easy.
I've got a feeling Dirrell has Ward in the next round? Which is unfair as he'll possibly fail to qualify, even though I think he probably deserved to win against Froch and could beat the others.
How many points did he get for the Abraham win? Does a DQ count as 2 or 3? I think it should be 3 as else a Kermit Cintron type who knew he couldn't make 12 rounds would throw a low blow and get disqualified to only give the other guy 2 points.
