Predictions? .
I have a feeling Dirrell quits again. A beltline blow or questionable rabbit punch and Direll will take a knee and refuse to continue.
Weird feeling.

Hopefully Uzcategui can finish Dirrell.
Watching the Dirrell brothers fight makes me want to vommit tbh.

But seriously, Dirrell fought well. The other guy just had his number. A clean, competitive, exciting fight. Props to both guys.

... and Korobov who schooled Uzcategui sits on his ass doing nothing. Russians lose motivation so easily!

uzcategui was very green when he fought korobov. it was like boy vs man in terms of where they were at in their careers
uzcategui has developed a lot more skill since that fight
he impressed me more then the super hyped benavidez,, and vs an opponent better then ronald gavril

Dirrell showed a good chin for sure.
Tonight he seemed off, as in his accuracy was off and so was his countering. I don't know if that is age creeping up or he just had an off night

I thought it was the worst performance of Dirrell's career personally. I've never been a fan, but I've never seen him as easy to tag with clean shots as he was tonight...and that includes the 1st time he fought Uzcategui.

Yep, aside from being defensively sloppy he was always off with his own shots all night. Definitely would suggest that his reflexes have lost a little something.

Awful what happened with Korobov. Also, I read they didn't let him enter the tournament. Would've been funny if he had faced Eubank Jr. before Groves did. He would've absolutely schooled Eubank Jr.

I still don't understand what happened in this bout. Did Dirrell quit, or did his corner stop it? Either way, I don't understand why. Dirrell was losing, but it was still a competitive match. What the hell happened?

At 34 years of age ..... should Andre Dirrell consider retiring for good?

Yeah. He's a reflex guy and unless he can adapt his style a la Mayweather, it will only go downhill from here. He showed a lot vs Uz. But he just wasn't fast enough to get out of the way.
Taking nothing from Uz. He fought a great fight. But Dirrell is starting to have that RJJ look (hanging up on the ropes, getting tagged with counters, etc) right before the consecutive KOs began.

Hunter asked him if he wanted the fight stopped, Andre said yes, Hunter said one more round, and "you will regret this for the rest of your life". Then when the bell went Andre stayed where he was and Hunter called it off.
It was the proverbial quit on his stool, minus the stool

Yeah definitely. Guys that are reliant on their speed and reflexes definitely hit the wall faster than guys that have a more developed overall game.
