    Froch is the greatest fighter of all time.

    Dirrell tasted Froch's power and crumbled to the ground anytime he got close after that, I can't see anything changing in the rematch. If Dirrell opens up, he gets knocked out. Otherwise he loses another decision or get DQ'd for excessive holding/falling down.

    The original cut was definitely caused by a headbutt.

    And there's no way to know whether AA would have eventually got hi,

    But when you're pressing the action and fighting better at the end of the fight than at the beginning, you haven't had the **** beat out of you.


    And Dirrellfans are more than a little self righteous here.

    AA mada a mistake, nothing more.

    Dirrell has made similar mistakes in the past.

    All of us except for Dirrell, who even unconscious on the floor shakes a leg better than any of us. True break dance artist she is.

    I don't see how you can say that.

    What about Ricky Hatton ?

    They are probably 1 and 1a, but I'd be hard pressed to decide which was the GOAT.

    If Joe Calzaghe had fought 46 Carl Froch's he'd be 0-46.

    Dirrell wins either by clear UD (under objective judging pretenses of course) or by late stoppage.

    Could have been caused by the left hand which landed before their heads clash...ermed grazed.
    Plenty of fighters have taken alot of punishment and come on strong in the end. Point being Abraham took punishment, it wasnt like Dirrell shoe shined him, and was boxing to a decision. Abraham was visibly marked up, eyes damaged, and had the look of a beaten fighter, until the cut was closed and he was given about a 2 minute break.


    Agreed it happens. But rarely is it the loser who does it. usually one of the fighters is comfortably ahead and going for the KO, gets careless. abraham has taken heat becuase he was losing big and then tried to deny what happened after the fact.

    Plus it looked particularly brutal.

    Thought Andre win their first match albeit it was unimpressive, and I think he will dominate Froch to a UD. Don't think he will get the KO though, maybe a late TKO.

    Seems like we have quite a number of disgruntled Abraham fans on here these days. Well -- you guys built this guy up like he was Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston, and George Foreman all rolled up in one package. Reality is that he was always going to lose the first time he stepped up against a world class opponent. And lose he did. He lost badly, and made a fool of himself afterward. You should expect a little blow back. Like the old proverb says, If ya can't stand the heat, got the **** out of the kitchen.

    ??? I never liked Abraham but you are saying Dirrell is the first world class fighter he has faced? Did you get out the ****in kitchen when Pavlik got **** on?

    Listen dude. You're a bit biased ok.

    Abraham was doing what he always does, he always lets the guy punch himself out on his face.

    He was coming on strong, Dirrell was in trouble, Dirrell was on shaky legs, he was totally cooked, he was wobbly, and he faked a KO so he could get out of the fight with that beast.


    In my eyes Abraham is still undefeated.

    He's the best he's faced admit it. World class or not his previous opponents are inferior to Dirrel.

    This.

    Except the question becomes, is Dirrell damaged from the punches he has taken from Abraham?
