    If Dirrell can run for 12 rounds and land occasional to the guard of Abraham, I'm sure he'll get the hometown call. I was highly disappointed HOW he fought on the biggest night of his career. Very very disappointing given all the natural gifts he has.

    Abraham’s fought fast, athletic guys. He was out-jabbing Taylor because he’s got a great sense of distance and timing, plus underrated hand speed.

    I think Dirrell will do better than Taylor, but have the feeling Abraham will crack him mid-rounds and slow those legs down. Abraham does throw wide hooks, but he uses them to disguise his other shots. The overhand right disguises his left uppercut, the left hook disguises his straight right.

    He’s a much tougher proposition than Froch.

    It'll either be an Abraham KO or Dirrell UD..

    I'm hoping Dirrell improves from Froch and takes the decision..

    Yeah, also add AA'a off-rhythm fighting and unpredictable style (wide and short straight shots mixed up well) and to effectively move out of the range like Andre did vs. Froch (not looking very well balanced), will be one helluva damn hard job. Dirrell needs heavy improvement on balance, but at least he put a valuable lesson in the bag and won't just run in those early rounds.

    Abraham is no Froch, he actually have some skill, I think he'll be able to beat Dirrell by UD.

    I mean Froch was so open the whole night but Dirrell didn't capitalized on those
    openings, he'll have a hard time finding openings against AA,
    who actually has defense.

    I think at some point Abrahams will catch up with Dirrell and TKO him. Tough one to pick in all honesty.

    grammar on ESB is a novelty. Too many people seem confused by an apostrophe.

    Anyway, I think Dirrell will give the early rounds to Abraham - then try and sit down on his punches in the middles rounds. He needs the energy to stay out of AA's way.

    Where does everyone get this **** that you cant get a fair dec. in the U.S. Correct me if im wrong but didnt Calzaghe beat BHop? Its only in europe where you cant get a fair decision.

    People claim Calzaghe got a gift because he's more popular than Hopkins. People claim robbery whenever the judges don't agree with their opinion. There have been bad decisions the world over, it's not a unique part of boxing, sadly.

    I think that Eubank's godgiven name was Eubanks, but he changed it. I could be wrong though.

    Abraham carries his power the whole fight! Dangerous. He not only hits people over, he's scoring clean KO's. Great hitter.

    Dirrell will win on points. He knows he can not *** his way to a decision this time so will give it a little more action and pull off the upset.

    Dirrell flops around the ring like a drunken ******. He'll make mistakes and get caught. Abraham by KO as soon as Dirrell makes his 2nd or 3rd big mistake.
