By Scott Gilfoid: The should be unbeaten super middleweight Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14 KO’s) is now being trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr. in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to examiner.com writer Chris Robinson. Dirrell had been previously trained his entire career by his uncle Leon Lawson Jr. and it’s unknown happened there. But this is a good move because Mayweather Sr. is one of the most talented, the most experienced and the most knowledgeable trainers all of boxing. Dirrell’s only loss of his career was a HIGHLY controversial 12 round split decision defeat against Carl Froch. Most boxing fans who saw that fight had Dirrell easily beating Froch. As such, I don’t count as a loss for Dirrell.
This move could turn Dirrell into a super star. The only thing that Dirrell needs now is to get some fights lined up. His promoter 50 Cent and SMS Promotions needs to start finding some fights for the talented Dirrell because he’s been wasting away on the vine with inactivity. It’s been almost a year now since the lightning fast Dirrell last fought in blowing out Darryl Cunningham in two rounds on December 30th, 2011. It was thought then that Dirrell would be back in the ring and would be looking to get a title shot in the near future, but he’s not been scheduled for any fights and has seen his career stagnate even further.
