    Will Abraham have enough time to get adjusted to the time differences.

    He is supposed to be traveling from California to Berlin and then after the Marco Huck fight he is going to Detroit.

    This will give him about two weeks to get acclimated to Eastern Standard Time and adjust to all the jet lag.

    Will Arthur be 100% on the 27th?

    I thought about this too. I sure hope so.

    It seems to me that his management should get him to Detroit in the next couple of days so that he can get acclimated and focused.

    Too much at stake to be jet lagged on fight night.

    2 weeks is plenty of time... Especially when you are physically active during the period

    Let's hope so. He needs to be 100% mentally. He is going to be on Dirrell's home turf in Michigan.

    Arthur Abraham is a scary man. When he's ready, he's ready to take your head off. Good luck Dirrell, if you keep a cool head and don't feel intimidated you could beat him.

    I have never heard of him being lacklusture in training. In fact the opposite, he is supposed to be a gym rat.

    For the current fight on his website he writes he is running 6 miles a day and doing 750 pushups. In addition to sparring, skipping, and hitting the bags.

    Does not sound like a slacker to me!

    Nah, he once stated he hates roadwork but he does it nevertheless.

    Arthur is fighting Andre "Falling Down" Dirrell! How ready does he really need to be?

    It was interesting in fight camp 360 how different of an outlook each had on the other :

    Abraham -- "Nothing Direll does impresses me"
    Dirrell -- "The man is dangerous. Period!"

    Detroit is practically Dirrell's home town. Flint is just a short drive away.

    Abraham is going to have to dominate or stop Dirrell. He can't risk a close decision.
