] Damn on msg? That be cool but at the same time it won't make sense considering Dirrell is not a draw in nyc and Abraham never fought in nyc. The better fight to take place is in detriot since Dirrell is from there. What about in the palace?
I don't think Dirrell has much of a home fan base anywhere that would justify his fight going there. Unfortunately, he bounced around from casino to casino for much of his early career and fought only once in Michigan (according to BR). I am really hoping this fight lands at MSG, since I'm sure there are enough fight fans in the metro area to at least fill the theater for this great fight. It does conflict with the reports that Gamboa-Mtagwa and JuanMa-Luevano would be at the same venue on the same date.
Yea I don't think it'll make much difference, he hasn't got a huge following atm.. should be good though..
That would make my ****ing day.... metro north to grand central S to the 1 1 to 34th right up the stairs and we in there
Arum says he has the same date at the Wamu for his card according to Steve Kim. Would obviously prefer if that wasn't the case.
That would be sweet. I'd go see it. It would be like watching The Terminator trying to pin down Sarah Connor.
Would be nice. I am already looking forward to this fight. Two VERY different styles, and so interested to see these two get it on - because I think Dirrell learned a lot last time and will not just run around for 12 rounds this time. And if he actually applies the great skill set he has, well then anything is possible..
MSG is a great venue for the fight. I would not want to be Abraham in this one. He will have to chase Dirrell all over the ring (rest assured it will be larger than normal for Dirrell's benefit). Additionally the pressure from the powers that be, will create a sort of "get even" climate for the supposidly bad decision Dirrell received in the U.K.. I really enjoy watching Abraham but unfortunately he will be facing more than Dirrell in this one.
I agree 100% with the above post. The powers-that-be are setting up both Abraham and Kessler to cheat them by crooked judges, referee, commentators (the tell you who is winning) ring and everything. Dirrell ran like Hell from Froch, fell down on the canvas, held, and complained and that is called a win by the biased. Abraham and Kessler have to win by knockout period, even if they knock their opponents down in every round. Didn't Ward say his plan was to cheat? What does that mean? All the complaining by Dirrell fans was to try to intimidate future judges, referees, commentators, etc., to always give their complainer every round, afterall, you must not fight, you must run, hold, complain and fall down on canvas. They know that Dirrell did not win, they want to see a fixed fight to favor their coward.
LOL! Dirrell couldn't knock him own grandmother out. How can you knock any one out by falling down on canvas, complaining, holding and running? So, you are picking Dirrell by knockout? Which round?
It will probably be an Olympic sized ring. By that I mean the size used for the 10.000 meters track event in the Olympics...
