If Anthony doesn't retire after keeping David's belt warm he should run it back with Yildirim in a neutral location and fight Eubank Jr.

After watching Badou Jack fight with a buck 50 sized cut caused by a head butt, this seams premature. Dirrell better take his gift and run b/c he was gettin rocked and the next two rounds weren't looking good for him :francis:
Doc said he could see muscle. Being that it was in his eyelid, I imagine his vision could have been permanently affected.

Direll going to try to cash out on his last fight. What match up brings in the most money?

This may sound silly, but Canelo. My thinking is I can see Canelo eventually venturing off into 168 again in 2020 and Dirrell would be the perfect guy.

I know he wants to retire after this year, but he'll wait for a fight like that.

moving up to 175 lol...good fights but no real money fight if we are looking to cash out

plant, benavidez, callum smith, rematch with yildirim are all good possible fights but no big money

Who brings in the most money for him? I would think Benavidez.

So you think he ain't doing none of that unifying shyt?

It's extremely farfetched. I don't think it'll ever happen.

I'm just saying, from a matchmaking perspective, if I'm on Team Canelo, I would have my eye on him. The guy is a punching bag holding the WBC title. He's a very attractive opponent for a guy like that.

Also, these fights with guys on different networks tend to be harder to make with top tier guys. Dirrell? Would it really be that hard to get him on DAZN?

if dirrell has some type of agreement saying he has to fight on FOX/Showtime then thats a block..if hes a network free agent then he could make moves..a purse bid prolly wouldn't be able to force it to be anywhere but DAZN
