    Is this going to be the most boring 'fight' in the super six? AA has even more power than Froch so I suspect The Running Man will be running like never before.

    How I see this 'fight' going is TRM will punch AA's gloves once or twice then run across to the other side of the ring and repeat. AA will not be chasing after him. Any time AA remotely looks like he is comes out of this shell, TRM will be turning around and legging away or throwing himself on the floor as if to avoid mortar fire.

    I suspect the fight will be a draw - no punches landed by either fighter.

    It will never be boring with AA in the other corner. He needs just one shot. It will always be edge of the seat stuff.

    Maybe it wont happen, but just knowing that it could be over any split second will provide the excitement.

    After all of the **** that has been said about him after the Froch fight and also with his tactics not getting him the decision, I don't think we'll be seeing Dirrell being so negative against AA.

    It's a fight for the boxing fans who actually understand boxing, if your a casual fan that just wants to see knockouts then this fight may not be for you but for a lot of guys on here who love the sweet science we dont have any problem in seeing a chess match because there is a lot of anticipation watching it and I enjoyed Dirrell vs Froch.

    I did not however enjoy the Hitting behind the head or the point being deducted or the biased referree or the incompetent judges and the throw down along with the decision but apart from that I had no problem watching the chess match.

    Neah, I'll just get watch the 10 sec highlights which will show me all the action that will have happened in the whole fight.

    The problem is that AA has much shorter reach. I just don't think Dirrell will let AA come into his range at all.

    I guess the only enjoyment from this fight would be the anticipation to see whether AA can get through with a punch. Kinda like fishing. Waiting and waiting... Otherwise, we'll just be watching TRM punching AA's gloves the whole fight and keeping AA out of range.

    We are talking about AA here. There is no knockouts in his fights? :?

    I think it will be more like fishing then a chess match. AA plodding forward and Dirrell hitting his gloves and running away. You will hope to see AA landing something before Dirrell legs it. I suspect there won't be any fish at the end of the fishing trip tho. :(

    The ref was deffo bad. Got to agree with that. He should have told TRM to start fighting and not keep bending his head forward and only showing the back of his head to Froch as his defensive trick as well.

    Dirrell has some pretty nice skills, i don´t think of him being boring. I like what he does in the ring.

    If Dirrell doesn't come to win and just wants to "not get knocked out" and this becomes obvious in the first 6 rounds then the ref should take him out of the fight and DQ him. Then Showtime withholds his purse and bans him from the tournament. Very simple.

    Fights with AA can never bore me. They are like those movies where you see a normal plot developing, perhaps a happy family on a Sunday outing and out of nowhere the psychotic killer strikes. AA can stand there doing nothing, it seems like the opponent is pling up the points just by shadowboxing in AA's general direction and then suddenly...

    For arguments sake ,lets say Dirrell was in Mayweathers weight group.
    Just imagine Dirrell v Mayweather. Might be the first fight in history where no punches are thrown.

    Who cares, I hope AA puts Dirrel to sleep.
