    Even fight.

    I think I'm gonna go for the upset and pick Dirrell by UD.

    I think he could use movement and his superspeed to outwork Abraham.There is the case he could get caught but that's always the case with AA.The Amenian will have t ostart faster though,this style of his won't work forever
    I think Dirrell is gonbna become a better fighter after the Froch fight.

    Dirrell being busier, Abraham being more accurate.

    Abraham hurting Dirrell late in the fight and either finishing him or having a UD.

    The odds are against Dirrell in this one. He's fighting someone who has a far better defense than Froch and with more power. He also has to win this fight. He can't go into the 3rd round against Ward, needing a KO to get 3 points. He will have learned from last night about what he has to do to win over the judges. He can't just fall on the ground and jump into a clinch whenever AA gets close. I'd back him to take a points win. If he peppers AA with some combo's for the bulk of the round and simply do what he did to Froch last night, whenever AA decides to unload. AA can be very lazy at times and he'll be at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to hand and foot speed.

    abraham has some crazy power, he takes them literally to sleep.
    but dirrell is much quicker on his feet then ayala, and has much faster hand speed. so i think and hope it will be a close ud for abraham

    AA KO'd miranda in the states. Try to follow the sport before posting. It adds credibility to your post.

    As long as he stays busy, Dirrell has a very good shot at beating Abraham

    I see Dirrel running all night with quick but short bursts of offense. Unless Aurthur changes his game plan for the Dirrel fight, I see it going much the same way as the Taylor fight in terms of scoring anyway. I think Abraham is going to have to be a lot more aggressive early because of Andre's speed, if the fight goes the distance, I expect a Dirrel victor based on his speed alone. It might also be a tough fight for Abraham because Andre won't fight on the inside and I expect more holding, etc which will make it difficult for Abraham to land anything

    Then again I saw Froch land flush on Dirrel several times so who knows.

    My predicition: Abraham by KO round 9, and I hope so too. I can't stand runners and holders.

    Dirrell can win this if he learns from (and fixes) his mistakes in the Froch fight; if the exact same Dirrell shows up, Abraham will probably knock him out because there's a smaller margin of error in dealing with Abraham.

    dirrell impressed me a lot yesterday.

    For those believing Dirrell gets the dec if it goes the distance, i beg to disagree.
    He won't be putting an "L" next to Abraham's column if he runs the whole fight like yesterday.
    I don't care if it's America: judges know who the public pays to watch; it will be a controversial for AA too.

    I think this fight is going to suck.

    Dirrell is going to run run run.....

    If Dirrell does walk away from Froch's power, he'll need a getaway car in the ring with AA.

    Dirrell will upgrade for the next fight, but I doubt he'll be ready for AA - yet. He has the speed, skills, and refelexes to be great. But bitching and running does not win fights.

    Don't worry. A lot of people who speak English as a first language do far worse on ESB. And youtube...Especially youtube.

    There is nothing wrong with your English mate. Abraham's second fight is correct. The person who created the thread got it wrong though. It should have been "Abraham vs Dirrell" not "Abraham(S) vs Dirrell" Same mistake as people used to make with Eubank(S) :good

    I reckon the Abraham vs Dirrell fight will go to the cards in a similar way to Froch vs Dirrell. No-one's gonna catch that rabbit! If this is the case I hope AA gets the decision. If Dirrell realises that to win he has to trade more and engages with AA.....we all know how that story ends :scaredas:
