Blake Caparello vs Andre Dirrell - Oct 17th - Washington DC

[Redback Rasta]

Blake Caparello 21-1-1 is set to meet Andre Dirrell 24-2 at 168 pounds on October 17th in Washington DC.

"This is a huge opportunity for me to show the world that I am one of the best 168-pounders in all of boxing," said Caparello. "This is the weight class where I belong. Dirrell is a former Olympian and, like myself, a world title challenger. I expect a very tough fight on October 17, but I know that I will be victorious."

The fight will be on the undercard of Lamont Peterson vs Felix Diaz Jr.

Good on Caparello for having a crack. I think he can definately cause Dirrell some trouble with his awkwardness.

Battle of the southpaws. Should be a very interesting fight. Great opportunity for Blake.

Like Solomon, awkwardness is one of Caparello's major weapons. Dirrell will do well to study some video or he will be in for a bit of a shock.

Big opportunity for Blake hope he can pull off the massive upset.

Caparello vs Dirrell is OFF:

"My fight with Andre Dirrell has been cancelled. Apparently he has a injury so therefore the fight was called off. I will keep everyone posted as the news comes and with future plans" - Blake Caparello

Rotten break for Caparello. Wonder where he'll head next? His manager Brendan Bourke has already indicated Danny Green has knocked them back.

An "undisclosed medical reason" is the official line coming out of Premier Boxing Champions regarding Dirrell's withdrawal. Certainly not giving away much. Perhaps they are hiding something?

maybe he got his nuts caught in his zipper and would like it kept hush hush, lol.

They don't want to admit that Dirrell cancelled due to vagina pains.

Hope he's over them by November 6th then.
