Super Six Stage Two: Arthur Abraham vs. Andre Dirrell, Who Wins?

Dirrell is definitely the most talented guy in the division, but he's too green, which is a huge shame.

 

the thing is though mate, his methods thus far have served him well. Unless dirrell can run for 12, this ain't going the distance, AA by brutal KO 9th round.

 

I think Abraham is down on the cards but pulls out a stoppage.

Abraham in neutral circumstances, but Dirrel might cheat his way to vitory

 

Andre Dirrell is going to give Abraham a shellacking.


A punchy, gun shy Jermaine Taylor won atleast 4 rounds against Abraham, doing absolutely nothing but throwing jabs.

Andre Dirrell is a much more versatile fighter, a much faster fighter, who unlike Taylor can throw punches without setting his feet. Abraham is going to have to find Dirrell, and even when he does, Dirrell probably wont be their long enough for Abraham to do anything.

The only hope Abraham really has is when Dirrell backs up with his hands down, that will be his only chance to catch Andre and hope he hurts him.

Other then that, Dirrells gonna be peppering him all night.


Oh and the fights in Detroit so no chance of a robbery this time.

 

I'm looking forward to this fight and Froch/Kessler as I thnk it will be interesting to see how Dirrell and Kessler have handled their losses. I'm guessing more so than Froch and Abraham, these guys will be trying to make a point of having improved and I'm pretty keen to see where that will take them.

That said, I feel a bit uneasy for Dirrell in this fight. Say what you want about him, but in my opinion the guy has natural talent and I wonder if he's been rushed into this tournament.

Even if he thought he beat Froch, I'm guessing he will be trying to make some positive adjustments. He's already pretty green, and I think Arthur Abraham is a horrible pick for a green fighter, coming off a loss in which he was criticised for being too passive, to come back against. I'm not saying he's going to go steamrolling into AA trying to knock him out, but unless he's going to run again, I can only think the more pro active approach that might have given him the win over Froch will get him badly hurt against Abraham. I think it's a little too early for him to be taking on someone as awkward as AA and two consecutive losses will hinder his career.

 

I agree,i think probably he was shoved in the deep end being put in this tournament.I actually hope he beats Abraham.

 

Dirrell will be find. People are overrated his so called "greenness". He fought the perfect fight against Froch for 5 rounds. When Froch slammed him, which no fighter in the world would not be shook at, he got a little off his game, but in round 10 he woke back up and landed moe punches in 3 rounds the Froch landed conversely the whole fight and even staggered him.

Dirrell is 27, he has an extensive amatuer background, and has been in there with Oganov, Stevens, Hanshaw and Froch.

If he cant beat a fighter like Abraham now he'll never be ready.

 

Skills vs. skill, this is a 50-50 fight, though Dirrell is the better natural talent, but you have Abraham's strength and ring intelligence. On the other hand, it's in Andre's hometown so he might go for the ugly SD, so to decide the actual outcome, it's not that easy.

 

:think I thought Dirrell's from nearby Flint and the fight is on his promoter's card?

 

Referring to the job in Nottingham.

 

I like Dirrell.. but watching the countdown or whatever he seemed to be a little concerned. There is something that Abraham does that he sees as a threat. The mental edge goes to Abraham as he is always confident. Dirrell cant fight like he did against Froch and give up easy rounds that he could of won. He needs to get in the early rounds and make Abraham fight out of character towards the end so he dont get caught with anything sneaky.

 

Dirrell will probably run his ass of and win a controversial sprint decision.
