    God-damn! The way his head moves is awful!

    Thats worse then Paulie getting smashed up the head by Ricky Hatton, actually no, that one wasn't even bad. I enjoyed that because Paulie is a dick.

    I agree with you , I see dirrell winning some early rounds , but as soon as AA figures him out, it's over. AA is a great tactition and will easily find his range and openings to really put a hurting on Andre

    It's still a tough fight for AA, but AA will prevail... PAv's fans will be rooting for Dirrell, and will be ready to talk shite should AA lose lol...

    I hate to say this but......

    I agree with NALLEGE

    AA is my fav boxer right now, kinda sad that a lot of people shits on his passive aggressive style. he knocks people out though

    AA is a strange mix ,he comes at people with his high peek-a-boo defense .The all of a sudden he decides to open up, his hands(very heavy hands) are on his chest and he wails away with no defense.

    Yes, and that is how Miranda broke his jaw...he caught AA while he was opening up. AA has learned form that mistake, but Dirrell will have to punch when AA is punching, and get there first...

    Pressure Dirrell? Don't think so. This will be a very boring fight, and I expect Dirrell to hit and run and not stand in front of AA, giving him minimal opportunities for countering and "unshelling" effectively with combinations. That could give him a lot of trouble, especially if he concedes the early rounds as is his habit.

    That sounds like suicide to me. It's exactly the wrong strategy to employ against AA. You beat him by taking advantage of the spells he spends not punching, and then quickly retreating and showing good defence when he does decide to come out and let his hands go. Planning to get caught up in exchanges against a dynamite puncher is just ridiculous.

    Completely agree. Not sure what strategy Dirrell is going to use, but Arthur showed against Ikeke and Taylor that he can deal with rangier fighters. The man has a very tough shell to crack, an unpredictably explosive offense, and concussive power.

    I really think Arthur has all the tools, both as a boxer and personality, to become a huge hit in America.

    I think Dirrell can pull off the victory, and not just because he has the hometown referee and judge advantage. He needs to be very elusive though, step in let his hands go and swiflty move out. He NEEDS to show more offense though. If I was to bet though, it would be an Abraham victory.
