Anthony “The Tyger” Hanshaw vs. Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell on Showtime, July 27, 2013
Kernersville, North Carolina super-middleweight Anthony “The Tyger” Hanshaw (23-3-2) will face Anthony Dirrell (25-0) of Flint, Michigan on Saturday, July 27, 2013 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The event will be televised by Showtime Network.
Ten months after a 12-round unanimous decision loss to Roy Jones Jr., in May 2008 Hanshaw fought Anthony’s older brother Andre Dirrell (undefeated at the time) in a Showtime main event bout that appeared to have Hanshaw winning every round until he was knocked down as the bell ending the 4th round sounded. He was then TKO’d in the 5th. That bout seemed to be marred by incorrect knockdown calls by the referee. In the first round Andre Dirrell was clearly seen being knocked down by Hanshaw punches, but it was ruled a slip (no-knockdown). At the end of the 4th round, Hanshaw’s knockdown looked more like Andre pushing him to the canvas.
While Andre has since suffered a loss to Carl Froch (in 2009), his brother Anthony remains undefeated, yet hasn’t fought any highly ranked opponents, or anyone with the experience and exceptional ring record that Hanshaw has.
Anthony Hanshaw vs. Anthony Dirrell appears to be set as the first fight of the evening of four Showtime televised bouts with the main event featuring welterweights Andre Berto of Florida vs. Jesus Soto Karass of California in a scheduled 12 round match.
Also on the card will be Omar Figueroa vs. Nihito Arakawa and Diego Chaves vs. Keith Thurman.
