    Dirrell did within 5 what Roy Jones couldnt.

    I only saw the line for this yesterday and I bet it without second thought. Dirrell is physical amazing, but I'm unsure of his true abilities. Hanshaw on the other hand, is fucking rubbish and I've always maintained that.

    Props where Props R DUE...

    REED Slightly FAVORED Hanshaw to Beat Dirrell, but he Got his Ass WHIPPED...

    Dirrell's Level of TALENT is APPARENT, but REED Questioned his Boxing Acumen...& Against Lower Levels of Competition, Dirrell has STRUGGLED...He Seems to B the Type that Fights UP or DOWN to the Level of his Opponent...

    He's STILL a Bit SLOPPY when he's Going for the Kill & his LACK of a JAB is ALARMING, but the Cat DEFINITELY Handled his Business Last Night...

    The 2 Andre's (Dirrell & Ward)R Making MOVES N 2008...

    Hanshaw is absolute trash. He is one of the slowest feather fisted SMW I have ever seen. Just shows how much RJJ has slipped.

    A Bit Sloppy? He makes Antwaan Echols looks as smooth as Sugar Ray Robinson. :lol:

    He's actually a likeable guy from the interview after the fight but he is painful to watch.

    He's a physical speciman and has the athletic ability to be dominating but it seems like he doesn't know what he wants to do with himself most of the time.

    I'm not sure that can be trained into him at this point.

    And what was with him literally throwing Hanshaw around the ring whenever he thought Hanshaw was in trouble? Like he goes into whirlwind mode and forgets he's supposed to hit him with his fists and not his arms.

    REED Thinks a REAL Trainer would Do Wonders for Dirrell...His Grandfather Certainly ISN'T Teaching him Shit...

    Dirrell is Where he Is Based on PURE Talent & Athletic Ability...But His Boxing IQ is LOWER than Zab Judah's:lol: ....

    When he throws it with conviction, Dirrell has one of the best jabs in boxing. It's fast and powerful. It is a fight-changing type of jab. He landed a 3 jab combination last night and it completely took the fight out of Hanshaw.

    Even in the ammys Dirrell had that ramrod jab. Now thought, I would love to see him develop better balance and learn to really plant his feet when he throws power shots.

    That's what's FRUSTRATING about Dirrell...He DOES have a Good Jab WHEN he Uses it...

    It's like he PURPOSELY Tries to Make his Fights Difficult...He Could MAINTAIN Distance @ Will w/his Jab, but Instead, he ALLOWS Guys to Get Close to him...

    & Considering how LEERY Dirrell is of Getting Hit, it Doesn't Make Sense....

    There's a disconnect somewhere. His body doesn't do what his brain wants it to.

    I apologize for continuing to bring this up, but by beating poop like Ajamu and what are now Andre Dirrell leftovers people think Roy can be competitive with a top 10 P4Per in the world?

    Kenneth this is for you man, Roy will get tortured by any elite fighter now.

    I don't mind Kenneth, but sometimes I wonder about him.

    He is certain that Roy beats Calzaghe and thinks the first thing to go in a shot fighter is handspeed :lol:
