    They're most likely waiting for the first round to finish.

    I don't think Lacy was rushed...he was brought up pretty well and at the time was favored against Calzaghe.

    dirrell's speed and stamina made a fan out of me. I think he's gonna give aa a good fight using his strengths from the froch fight and learning from the mistakes

    Dirrel has the kind of style which doesnt really suit AA .

    Gainer,and Ayala are both awkward runners-speedy movers.They both gave hell to AA due to their style and speed.
    Dirrel will be a tougher fight for AA than Taylor IMO.

    Dirrell knows Froch is very beatable, and he can beat him again much more clearly than the first fight if they ever rematch.

    Dirrell knows he can take Froch and figures it's the best way to redeem himself and get a belt at the same time. It was probably just talk though, there's no way Dirrell is afraid of Abraham, he's a young hungry kid with skills.

    Though it's posturing for fights post-Super Six, Froch won't have the green belt by the time the tournament adjourns

    I think everyone needs to be scared of AA.

    Not just Dirrell.

    Exactly...:good Timing is everything...Its the reason why Ward is around today. He took his time and stepped up the right way. These guys dont understand the fighters are human...They are not machines. If you rush them too fast then they often will never be the same again.

    Every world class boxer/puncher from 160 up would hand Abraham his ass with ease.
