I saw this fight is supposed to be on the Malinaggi-Ndou undercard. Damn they are stepping Direll up quick. I think there is a good chance he gets blasted. Interesting fight.
Dirrell will win every second of the fight. Stevens is okay, but he's tailor-made for Dirrell. I'm surprised Dibella is considering this.
Dirrell has so many bad habits in the ring. Stevens has a good shot of knocking him out. A Mexican journeyman already had Dirrell on his ass and hurt.
Dirrell has been Trying to DISTANCE Himself from Andre Ward...Dirrell Recently Fought Kenny Kost,the Guy that BADLY Hurt Ward N their Fight... Recently,Ward & Stevens were Talking about Fighting each Other "Down the Line",so it Seems Consistent w/Dirrell's Recent Actions,that he'd WANT to Fight Stevens NOW... Good for Him...While Ward's CHINNY Ass is Sitting Around MILKING his Gold Medal,Dirrell is Trying to MAKE Shit Happen... REED
Dirrell's Not BAD, he just Needs to "Find HIMSELF"... STOP Trying to B Roy Jones & for 1nce,have a Fucking FIGHTPLAN...Dirrell Go's N there,Switches Back & Forth from Southpaw (for NO Apparent Reason) & Does the Moves he's Picked Up from an RJ Highlight Reel... Dirrell is 1 of the TALLER,Athletically GIFTED Supermiddle's N the World,yet he NEGLECTS his Jab just Cause Roy did... REED
Possible... REED Can't Say that he's Seen Dirrell Get Hit Yet...& REED has Seen @ Least 4-5 of Dirrell's Pro Bouts... REED

.... Primera's not a Mexican but sure he stopped Stevens. Then Stevens won the rematch. Don't matter to me though. Stevens has a good punchers chance against SLOPPY Dirrell.
REED...you missed that fight on Fox? I'll send you a copy if you want it. Dirrell went down like Ali went down in the first Henry Cooper fight. Dirrell isn't very good. He's more Allan Green than Roy Jones.
valdosta, you seem to be trying very hard to give Stevens a chance in this fight. What kind of odds would make you bet on him? Do you really see Stevens as the favorite? 50/50? or just a possibility to win?
Don't know how good Dirrell's chin is but Stevens' power isn't as advertised. Sure he hits hard but he couldn't stop old Carl Daniels. And his head movement is non-existant. Glad to see him taking this fight though because he isn't getting any better fighting the level he's at right now.
DIrrell will be favored but not by much and rightfully so. He makes a ton of mistakes. Any guy with a decent punch as a good shot at beating him.
Yeah, he's got "1 punch KO" written all over him. Dirrell's a guy who doesn't move his head, keeps his hands low and throws wild uppercuts from the outside. He'll get drilled soon.
