    - I know Matweather v Pacquiao is thee fight the entire planet is salivating at the prospect of.

    - But, I really want to see Abraham fight Ward. I just can't envisage how this fight would turn out.

    - Before any other fight, whether right or wrong, I have a idea in mind of how the fight will turn out. But this one - I have not got a clue.

    Abraham should worry about the other Andre hes about to face,Dirrell is going to give AA problems,im not saying he will beat him though...i feel this fight can go either way

    - This one is interesting aswell. If Dirrell won against Froch, which I think he did, this one would have grabbed my attention also.

    - At the moment Ward v Abraham interests me the most.

    - I think Abraham will get past Dirrell,

    - And Ward will get past Taylor.

    ward by 12 round UD BUT if he throws sloppy amatuerish punches like he did against Kessler there is a 75% chance that AA knocks his ass out cold.

    - Yes - either Ward by 12 round decision or Abraham by KO seems reasonable

    - It's what Ward said on 'on the ropes radio programme' about Abraham - Ward commented on Abraham "He is a puzzle". At the moment I hope this fight comes to fruition.

    Abraham has twice the poise and more power than Kessler. The entire fight will come down to Ward's poise and defense, especially in the last few rounds. Unlike with most top undefeated fighters, the blueprint for beating Abraham is obvious: remain busy, get around the guard and never, ever get careless. The problem is in the execution.

    i think that abraham will knock every one out, the fighter who will beat abraham won't be a good fighter, probarly some free defense from abraham after the super six

    Abraham has a much better defense than Kessler and appears tougher. I say Abraham gets to a reckless Ward by KO and outpoints a fast but unscoring Dirrell.

    It will be brilliant for Arthur to cement his name in America.

    Andre Ward is a slippery guy and will likely have Abraham trailing on the cards after 4-5 rounds, but it will be competetive throughout. I expect Abraham to land some bombs and have him unconscious by the mid-late rounds.

    Id favour A.A to beat Ward way more than i would favour him beating Dirrel.

    I know i have a history of underrating Abraham, but i really dont see him beating Ward. In fact i really dont see it being that close.

    the problem with Direll may be that he will pitter pat and run and AA might not get to him. it could be a win for Direll but a stinker. jumst my humble opinion.
