Dirrell / Yildirim & Jamal James bring the house down in Minneapolis!

February 24, 2019February 24, 2019 by Chris Carlson

Avni Yildirim - What started out as a ho-hum night of fights eventually picked up and of course because this is boxing we had some controversy by night’s end. The main event was contested for David Benavidez’s WBC belt he was stripped of, in a razor-close championship bout either fighter deserved to get their hand raised. A patient beginning for Anthony Dirrell led to upper cuts that got Avni Vildirim’s attention in the first. Both guys came out firing right at the bell in the 2nd as Vildirim pushed forward for most of the round cornering Dirrell on the ropes enough to get the nod. The third featured high-paced action, Vildirim getting the better of the inside work while Dirrell was sharp with his jab in a swing round. Another spirited round in the fourth, Avni crowded Anthony on the ropes, Dirrell fired return shots off the ropes.
