Why is Dirrell fighting this level of opposition??? He was fighting the champions in the Super Six… I know he needs to wipe the ring rust off, but it’s been a few years now…

Dirrell does deserve an Academy Award for his performance against Abraham, priceless…

It was quite clear Dirrell beat Froch, by at least 2 rounds. Froch cheated, and swung at air. Dirrell landed more often and with some hard shots. Say what you want about his “style” in that fight and vs Abraham but each fight he got more confidence. The way he fought vs Abraham was much better.
We can’t judge what happened to him being on the receiving end of the illegal blow or why he had the long layoff. Unless at least if you are a professional boxer.
I saw Dirrell crush Cunningham who is a legit B fighter and it was great after a year off. The next guy he fought last Saturday was a B-, C+ guy because it was a last second replacement. Both Dirrells have mad power and they can beat the Abrahams, Frochs, Butes, etc. It is terrible he hasn’t fought much, but hopefully that will change if 50 can get him fights often. I think Andre was holding out for too much money when he was a free agent, and without proper promoter backing that can backfire..

Hey, That’s My Bike!!!

Hahaha apparently this writer thinks that Froch vs Kessler is a waste of time. Yet, Dirrell fighting a guy, oh I mean a contender that lost to Oosthuizen is a top level test for Dirrell. JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

Was the most physically gifted in the super six. But instead of being called the Matrix he should be called the Tin Lion. No heart and no courage.

What a waste of space. This guy will still be around looking for a title when he’s 35 trying to make up for fighting every year and a half when he was in his prime.

Thats where folks where saying before, now that he is back he will be back to form after a few fights and then he goes on hiatus for another year and so. He has probably wasted some of his prime years. I really don’t think he will do to much in the sport any more and being that he is with 50 it wouldn’t bother me at all neither

Dirrell, one of the most overrated fighters that has come along in the past several years…

“impressive 10 round unanimous decision…” Impressive? Over a fighter with a 14-7 record? You kidding?

Good to see Dirrell back to form, i’ve been disappointed by his inactivity as he is super talented, I thought he was on the wrong end of a home town decison against Froch in the Super 6 so consider him undefeated…

After a few more fights it would be great to see him in with the winner of Froch Kessler, his style would give either of them nightmares.

What does dirrell plan to get outta of guy like this – better off to stay home and spar – I think all but one of Gbenga’s wins were against guys with a total of ZERO wins!!
