By Jim Dower: It’s becoming increasingly clear that few boxing fans and writers are picking Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KO’s) to win in his semifinal Super Six tournament fight against Andre Ward (22-1, 13 KO’s).

By Scott Gilfoid: For the sake of breaking the impasse between them, I think Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KO’s) should just give in and agree to fight WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) in Oakland, California instead of insisting on Detroit, Michigan or a neutral venue. The fight will make more money [...]
