Shaw looking to match Dirrell against Froch-Ward winner
June 15th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Gary Shaw, the promoter for super middleweight contender Andre Dirrrell (19-1, 13 KO’s), is hoping to match the 27-year-old Dirrell against the winner of the Super Six finals bout between WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) and WBA super middleweight champ Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s), according to fighthype.com.
I’m in agreement with Shaw about that, but I also think Dirrell would have been given the decision over Froch in any other country in the entire world apart from the UK. Dirrell looked incredible against Froch, making him miss all night long and barely getting touched by him. I had Dirrell winning the fight by a landslide. I gave Froch several rounds only because he was fighting in his home country and figured that the judges would give him any of the rounds that were even slightly close. In truth, I only saw Froch win one actual round and the rest went to Dirrell except for the round in which he was docked a point for holding. Oddly enough, Froch wasn’t penalized for throwing rabbit punches, body slamming Dirrell and holding and hitting.
I don’t give Froch any chance whatsoever of beating Ward in the finals. Ward is too talented, Froch too slow and the class of Ward will show immediately in that fight. Ward can then move onto a great showdown with Dirrell that will captivate the boxing world.

I would like to see Dirrell fight Froch again.
Gary Shaw Hi?. Has Dirrell had a ball graft yet?. If Ward wins Dirrel will have to run away again or get another note from Gary Shaw Hi
dirrell? LOL this guy is a nobody.what has he done? who has he beat? oh yeah he got a win against abraham as he was flopping around on the canvas and crying
i dont want dirrel fighting any british fighter as i dont want to waste my time with this gimp! why become a boxer when you have no heart or courage?
fair comment cornish nightmare i think abraham is always looking for the knock out. the problem with arthur abraham is he cannot multi task all the time the other fighter is busy with his hands abraham cannot get his shots off he is a bit like clottey in that respect. he just keeps that high diffence he cannot counter for s**t.
Why would any TV network pay this coward to dive and cheat???
It’s supposed to be entertainment. Dirrell offers nothing to boxing. He’s just another ahtelete who thought it would be easy to make money in boxing, then he got in with Froch and realised it was a mans sport.
I’m not surprised you,re his biggest fan Scott.
Go away Dirrell, you cheated against Froch by throwing a punch and jumping to the floor to avoid a counter, cheated by playacting against Abraham, and playacted against Ward by pretending to have a brain injury. F’ing retard
On what basis does Dirrel deserve a shot at the winner of this comp? He was beaten by Froch, was running and hanging on for dear life for the whole fight. On top of that he definately faked injury in the Abraham fight and subsequently pulled out of the comp with a mystery injury.
The guy has skills no doubt, but he doesn’t have guts or heart i’m afraid.
daylight robbery whan froch robbed dirrel. froch should hang his head in shame
Direll is out of his elements, winner of the super six will face n°1 in the division, Lucian Bute.
dirrell is a coward and does not deserve to face the winner of the super 6 or even lucian bute or mikkel kessler, get back in line you wimp andre !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dirrell should fight George Groves!! but he won’t because he got beat up as his sparring partner.
The above didnt happen, and neither did the writer
And Scott you are at the wind up if you think a fight between Dirrell & Ward will “captivate the boxing world”! They aren’t even well supported in the US never mind worldwide! I think a fight between these two would be horrible to watch. I don’t think their styles would gel well at all.
The winner of the Super Six will fight Bute. What has Dirrell done to deserve a fight against the winner? Got beaten by Froch then an oscar winning performance against Abraham! Dirrell has to go back to the drawing board. He’s miles behing guys like Ward, Froch, Kessler & Bute in the pecking order now.
Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Even though they are allegedly friends, Ward clearly has no respect for that coward Dirrell and certainly wouldn’t fight him. Maybe he’d pay him $60 a day as a sparring partner if he’s ever matched up against a coward and needs a suitable stand-in. Froch won’t fight him again because he’s already beaten him. Dirrell’s shot is over. Nobody respects him after that fakery against Abraham followed by the cowardly fakery that got him out of the Ward fight. He’s a joke in the boxing community.
the winner of froch n ward better not take this fight, after dirrell opted out of his fight with ward before, claiming a very serious medical condtion that no1 wil ever know the truth behind. dirrell should have to work his way to the top again, fighting on espn maybe would be very mad if this fight is made
Shaw good call.
Pray to god froch beats ward then. No one wants to see the shagathon that would be dirrell and ward. They’d probably move from the ring to finish their ‘fight’ in a hotel room
cornish nightmare i respect your views you talk sence and i like reading your comments. but i dont think dirrell was faking it when he got hit by abraham . mate he had that fight in the bag why would he want to pull out in the 11th round when he is on his way to a ud over a then unbeaten abraham.
i think dirrell is a great fighter and i think with his style he would beat ward. but he needs a cople big fights before he gets a chance.
