    Im going to watch the fight, as I have an interest in it, and am following the super 6 tournament to see what happens, but am I the only one who dosent think its going to be all that exciting.
    I know Abraham has power and can score KOs but although talented, ive often found him a bit lazy, (He must be doing something right to stay undefeated, I admit), and Dirrell judging on his performance against Froch where he ran and held alot.
    I cant see it being that good
    What you think?

    I think that his burst of punches with his enormous power took a lot of energy out of him so he can not trow 1k and plus punches per fight

    I wonder if, as you say Dirrell will land a few hits and run feeling he will have a better chance of a decision at home, and Arthur just dosent show urgency, like he dosent care (Im sure he does care).
    Maybe Dirrell has learnt from the Froch defeat to do a bit more (Boxing News and The Ring both had Froch a close winner over Dirrell), but a big part of me thinks AAs punching rep is more feared than Froch's causing him to stay on his toes and run, making as you say an awful fight

    Prime Time Channel 480 or something, costs a fiver I think



    I'm really looking forward to this, always enjoy Abraham fights and Dirrell needs a result so hopefully he'll try to put on a better show.

    I think direll UD with a lot of pitty pat and running. abraham isnt a very good technical boxer and i think he will not be able to chase and score against direll

    I think it will be a great fight and I can't wait.
    Dirrell will win the first half of the fight with his speed but Abraham will catch him clean in round 7 or 8 and turn the fight around.

    Nope, I think Andre 'Nytol' Dirrell will stink the place out too.

    No, and I certainly don't think it will be like the Froch shitfest.

    Dirrell will use the same smash and grab early but Abraham will catch up with him around the sixth. Dirrell may become negative from then on and will probably have his lead clawed back. It may not be an epic fight but I imagine it will be entertaining nonetheless.

    I paid 50 quid and drove 3 hours to Nottingham to watch paint dry last October.

    Whilst he didn't cover himself in glory last time out I do agree that people calling him a ***** is a bit much, seen as that ***** would probably smoke them in record time.

    Nobody appreciates the art of hitting and not getting hit anymore
