Top super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell clashes with hard-hitting Jose Uzcategui in a rematch for the IBF Interim 168-pound world title live on SHOWTIME Saturday, March 3 from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, as part of a tripleheader presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Heavyweight champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber'' Wilder will defend his title against Luis "The Real King Kong'' Ortiz in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader. The telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and also features undefeated former 154-pound champion Jermall Charlo taking on Hugo Centeno, Jr. for the interim WBC middleweight title in the co-feature.
The hotly contested first match between Dirrell and Uzcategui, which was also for the IBF interim world title, ended in controversy after Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Dirrell was dropped and knocked out by the punch. The referee ruled that the punch was intentional and disqualified Uzcategui. In the IBF mandated rematch, Dirrell and Uzcategui will look to put themselves in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax recently earned via a majority decision over James DeGale.

Correction: Dirrell (slightly buzzed, but not hurt) was instructed to stay down by his corner. Uzcategui was coming on strong, and Dirrell didn't have an answer. Rather than try and figure his opponent out in the ring, he looked for a way out.
Hopefully, Uzcategui gets the job done clean this time. I think he'll take a competitive but clear decision.

I hope so to. The Dirrells have never really been relevant (ever)..Deleted_Scenes wrote: ↑13 Feb 2018, 13:45 Correction: Dirrell (slightly buzzed, but not hurt) was instructed to stay down by his corner.

And with Dirrell you have to add...in such a way that he can't complain that he was
A. Hit in the back of the head
B. Hit after the bell
or C. Some other foul where he can whine and cry his way to a win
