AA by KO between round 7 and 10. Dirrell can run, but that's not enough to win against someone who really hates to see his "0" go... Also, as soon as Dirrell starts to come at Abraham he'll get hit without doubt. Abraham's punches are way harder than Froch's...Dirrell will be shocked as soon as he feels how hard Abraham's punches are.
wow some retarted predictions by some ******ed people, where did you get this idea that dirrel who is inexperienced, beats Abraham by UD??? how much of dirrell have u guys seen?"?! just one fight and that was a close loss, and u say he beats AA just because this guy runs away go back and watch AA fights, i don't think he will chase Dirrell, he'll wait, the first few rounds ggoing to be slows and boring, but once he gets them power shots in, thats it, late KO or UD people stop making "retarted" predictions!!!!!!!!!!! just for the sake of it
Ok, I can see on your Avatar you're not completely unbiased, but I totally agree with you. I can only see Dirrell win by a robbery of epic proportions.
haha he aint my favourite boxer, hope that helps my argument!! im just confused and shocked by some of these comments, what are people smoking these days!? :rasta i want some!!
im actually very excited for this fight although i am not a big fan of either fighter. i feel dirrell was victim of robbery of the year against froch and should be coming into this fight with a point for the tournament. i am gonna go with the upset and say he will leave the fight with the point that is already rightfully his. Direll SD
im pretty sure it goes down like this, look at Froch having to come back at the last minute after getting hurt, to beat JT vs Abe just controling the whole thing and finishing it too. Sure styles make fights yes, but Abe is just a higher level boxer and tactician than Froch. Direll has speed and athelticism but he seems to be fighting a battle with his willingness to engage / fear of getting hurt in there and to me this looks like a good bet, a solid UD for Abe with Dirrell in retreat and whining at the decision.
Controlled the whole thing? He looked sloppy as hell against an extremely tentative Taylor and barely moved the entire fight. I almost went to sleep during that piece of ****. I don't know where anyone gets the nerve to talk like it was some masterful performance by Abraham. It was a **** performance punctuated by a good knockout. Anyway, the Dirrell-Abraham fight is a foregone conclusion. Abraham can't box and he's much smaller. Dirrell is going to win going away. You can tell that Abraham's fans don't like his chances the way some of them are hedging their bets in this thread.
Abraham SD or mid-late rounds KO. Abraham, unlike Froch, will be able to find Dirrell. Dirrell will surely understand that he needs to fight instead of run this time, but that will be his undoing, as Abraham will drop him with counterpunches. Abraham also won't be as easy to land leather on as Froch was, and Dirrell landed precious little in that fight. If you can't hit Froch, who can you hit?
gotta go with aa. dirrel will throw punchs that will hit aa gloves or elbows. aa uses his good body combos to stop andre from runhing and than uses his jab right straights and hooks to ko dirrel. the real fight will b between ward and abraham.
Boo......are you still on the warpath? Strangely, I expect this to be a better fight than most are anticipating. I think Dirrell will look good early on, come out a little more aggressive than is expected. Win most of the early rounds, gain a little confidence........ keeps moving, keeping AA at a distance........ and Abraham catches him with one late and wins by tko.
cool username :good aa can get beat by somebody who counter punches. let's see how well dirrell can counter punch.
Dirrell beat Froch (running, whining, and holding or not). Froch did absolutely jack **** in that fight, but got a hometown decision. Dirrell and AA should both have wins coming into this fight. As far as the matchup goes, there is the potential for Dirrell to damn near shut AA out if ....and that's a tremendous IF...he finds some degree of confidence in his advantages and ability. AA is simply not busy enough. He will have to find Dirrell, who is capable of moving very well and scoring with fast shots. But AA has a lot of savvy in there and he knows how to get to taller, rangier guys and hurt them. It will be real interesting, but Dirrell has the advantage here. He should be able to get a hometown decision at the very least. If he gets caught and stopped late, then that will just show how his camp didn't do their homework on AA. I just hope that the winner wins with no controversy involved. Hopefully both guys come out healthy enough to fight another day.
For the life of me I cannot understand why Arthur's fans keep bragging about him getting his face busted all to **** by Edison Miranda. It seems like AA's supporters would want us to forget that a guy who couldn't hurt Ward, and couldn't by a blink from Pavlik with his life saving, damn near killed Arthur.
