    TeflomDom: Nice avatar! LOL I am glad Froch thinks about other fighters besides Calzaghe now! LOL

    I hope Dirrell shows as much movement as he did vs Froch. It's interesting to see how AA will handle it. I like this fight. Froch lost!

    No not really. I am talking about the defensive shell. He is not as good as Winky Wright obviously. Quit insinuating will you?:lol:

    Don't forget that Froch attacks best from long range, throwing shots from far out - combined with Abraham's small reach and height this has got a Froch KO or UD written all over it.

    He did lose.

    Dirrell's feet can give AA trouble. If he is willing to throw enough and avoids getting caught, he can win a decision because it's in America. In Germany, you won't win a decision. Nothing against AA, it's just a fact.

    Dirrell likes to counter, but he needs to have a good work rate and dart in-and-out with his feet while getting off fast combos. He can outwork AA to a decision.

    I feel bad for Dirrell not getting the win against Froch, especially now that he has to fight AA.

    Dirrell fights Ward in the 3rd fight.

    Think about this: Jermain Taylor went jab for jab with Winky Wright and Kelly Pavlik, and then he got OUT JABBED by Arthur Abraham.

    Shannon Taylor got stopped by Raymond Joval. His very next fight was a title fight with Abraham. Shannon Taylor finished on his feet. Jermain Taylor did not.

    The JT of old no longer exists, and that is the #1 reason Abraham looked good.

    Froch gets careless. I can see him beating on AA's guard then getting stopped w/ a big punch. I don't think he will survive a huge shot from Abraham.

    Of course Abraham has enough power to potentially KO anyone in the Super Six. The question is: Can he hit everyone in the Super Six accurate enough to unleash that power?

    This is my first post to you since the fight and you are still making excuses. Jermain Taylor was LEG PRESSING 500 POUNDS, hired a new nutrionist, was in Germany like 2 weeks before the fight, called Arthur, and I quote "an ordinary fighter" showing NO respect, DID NOT TIRE like he usually does!
    You are not a classy guy, and it is not mandatory to give a fighter props, but YOU OF ALL PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM should at least humble yourself and give Arthur his due,most of the the Kelly Pavlik crowd were at least humble enough! I thought you were more of a gentleman,
    sounds like you are exactly the opposite.

    Winky threw at lot more at that point in his career, and obviously a lot more than Abraham ever throws which = more opportunites to hit him as well. Winky's work rate went way up in the later part of his career compared to what it was before.

    Not sure. I know he can definitely hit Froch clean!:lol: It can take only one punch though.

    Dirrell and Ward move a lot, and Kessler simply doesn't break down, so we will have to see.

    The 3-points for a KO thing aren't that relevant, since AA will not be in the bottom two; so as long as you're not in the bottom two, you go through to the next round regardless of the quality of your performances.
