After chatting with Dirrell lately there is no doubt in my mind. Dirrell will be fighting as if it's his last day on earth. Dirrell, I feel will be the aggressor in this fight. Dirrell is definitely letting the hands go. After chatting with him he made it sound like he's going out there like Paul Williams:yep Dirrell along with Froch have improved the most imo since the start of the tourney. This will be Dirrells greatest performance yet, and I can't wait!!
Making the case for Dirrell winning against Ward based on Dirrell's performance against Abraham is folly. There's absolutely no argument to make that equates Abraham to Ward, or translates into an advantage for Dirrell in any way.
