168lbs, 12 rounds.

Who would've won had they met during the Super Six tournament?

Andre would've done pretty good for a stretch. Glen probably would've landed a combination, maybe an accidental headbutt happens, and Andre Dirrell falls down, claiming he's delirious and trying to get Glen DQ'd.

Glen wasn't a dirty fighter so I don't think this tactic will work, and I don't think Andre Dirrell is man enough to win a real fight against a real fighter any other way. So Glen wins.

That's the legacy that Andre Dirrell left behind. A somewhat talented fighter that was always looking for the referee's help to win.

Yes, I hear you. Though, his legacy probably would've looked better had he gotten a decision over Froch (as well as the WBC title in that fight). By the way, what's your take on the decision in that one?

Ironically, I think one of Dirrell's best fights was the one he lost - against prime James DeGale back in 2015.

If I recall, he got dropped twice early in that fight. But stood up and fought his way back into the fight pretty nicely. Was more aggressive than usual. Those two knockdowns made a difference in total scoring. Take them away - and the fight would've been scored a draw

I thought the decision was great in the Froch-Dirrell fight since Dirrell ran like a chickensh*t for the final third of the fight, and gave it away.
