Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-24, fight not particularly exciting between Anthony Dirrell and Badou Jack: it gets two stars.The undefeated Anthony Dirrell entered this fight with a pro boxing record of 27-0-1 (22 KOs=81%) and he is ranked as the No.7 super middleweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Carl Froch). The only man who stopped him in a draw was Sakio Bika in 2013 (=Bika vs Dirrell I) but in their second bout Dirrel won clearly via unanimous decision (=Bika vs Dirrell II).
His opponent, Badou Jack, has a record of 18-1-1 (12 knockouts) and he entered as the No.17 in the same weight class. He fought three times last year losing to Derek Edwards but then he came back to win beating Jason Escalera (=Jack vs Escalera) and Francisco Sierra (=Jack vs Sierra). Dirrell vs Jack is valid for the WBC World super middleweight title (Dirrell’s first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Very good fight.
Not over the top or elite but both guys are pretty on par with each other and wanted to win.
Yep I agree No10Count, second half was good. I thought the corner of Badou telling him he won EVERY round numerous times was absolutely ridiculous. I had it 114-114. Let the bitching begin. :P 4 stars
A very tough fight to score. I had it 116-112 for Jack.
A good fight, but the early rounds were a bit boring. I thought the fight became interesting by the 7th-8th.
before this fight hadn`t watched anthony dirrell’s fight i just heard about him, it is too bad because the day i decided to watch his fight he lost. i guess i gave him bad luck lol
