    It's a tricky one to predict. Abraham by stoppage? Abraham on points? Dirrell on points? A draw is certainly possible.

    Dirrell has close to zero chance.

    You are a fool if you think someone who failed to comprehensively outbox Carl Froch will decision AA.

    AA is more awkward, more skilled, more powerful and his footwork is certainy no slower than froch's.

    The two fighters are classes apart.

    Dirrell is shite compared to AA, Kessler, Bute and Ward. He had his problems against American journeymen...what is wrong with you people? How do some of you come to such conclusions.

    Credit to everyone who says this is only a question of AA stoppage or AA UD.

    If Dirrell fights exactly the same fight as against Froch then he's in serious, serious trouble. How many times against Froch did he end up in punching range, not throw any punches and just fall forward into a clinch. That's when his head gets taken off if he repeats that against AA. Dirrell needs to be a lot physically stronger, control distance a lot better and clinch a lot less (or a lot better) if he is going to 'pot shot his way to a ud'. So far his career doesn't offer much evidence that he can actually do those things.

    not only will abraham get to the 12th... but he will be way ahead on points despite the later rounds...but i am almost positive that abraham will have a point deduction. wildy throwing and hitting him behind the head to rock the quick movement out of him

    it's not the whatever latter anymore..... it's serious game for the cat...
    that first loss...and not by shattering knockout..gives the man his hunger and brains back.

    AA will do what he does everytime, wait for his chance, and take dirrell out. Dirrell will be KO'D, as he is going to hae to get close enough to land scoring shots. AA is clever, knows this, and one straight down the pipe will do dirrell. simples

    Thereby stands the problem...if Direll engages he will get knocked out, no doubt in my mind

    Yeah, I can see AA being well behind before landing a bomb out of nowhere.

    It's nice to have a big fight like this to watch where I don't give a toss who wins for a change. Takes away the nerves!

    Very much looking forward to this and have already planned to have a few mates around so we can watch it. (Mrs Lee Mc will, hopefully, be staying at her Mum's house!)

    I think Dirrell actually wins this.

    I think that he beat Froch by 3-4 rounds and was robbed. If he can put in the same perfomance against Abraham, but stays out in distance, I think he'll win quite comfortably.

    I just want Abraham stopped....no matter what.

    I don't want to see him smile or talk or give his philosophy.. I want him finished.

    arthur abraham reminds me of saving private ryan.... " i love america!"

    I'm looking forward to this too.

    Really fancy Dirrell pull an upset in this and take a points decision.
