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

Are you going to the fight Michigan Warrior?/

 

Naw man. I wish. Out of state right now. Love to be there though.

 

I'd like to see Abraham win by TKO or KO, and I'm fairly confident that's what I'll see tommorow night.

 

we're about to witness another controversial fight yet im still rollin with abe

 

Abraham by knockout

 

Abraham is going to facing a guy that has seed,athletic, and also moves a lot !!! Abraham is not a fast starter and likes to take his time feel his opponent out and then unleash some of his own but I It think in this fight he cant afford to do that especially if they fighting in Dirrell hometown !!! I Think Abraham is going to win by late tko but I can see dirrell winning the fight by spilt or UD !!!!!

 

Good fight, I like both guys and hope there aren't any bad decisions. But at the end of the day I think Dirrell has too much speed, size, and athleticisim for Abraham. Direll by decision.

 

If Dirrell was a little bit more mature and steady in the ring I might be sure of the outcome. Abraham is extremely flat footed and below average with his footwork. Abraham is however a massive puncher, and 3 or 4 times a fight his timing and placement become superb. Those 3 or 4 times are the reason he is where he is today, and I'm not unconvinced he will catch Dirrell at some point in this fight. Dirrell can win going away if he keeps his ****ing **** together. IF.

 

Ward-Kessler comes to mind.

 

Dirrell is the most talented boxer in super six. The toughest is Froch or Abraham. Abraham has more speed and better defence and footwork than Froch, so...............

Looking forward to this one and the beginning of the stage 2. If Dirrell and Kessler wins, the "hot and not" is all changed in few days.............super six

 

Nah. Abraham has greater hand and upper body speed, but not footspeed, and certainly not better footwork.

 

For the life of my I don't understand why more people see this. Abraham took over that fight from round three on. He did fairly well in the first two as well. He was dominating Jermain, the KO was just the icing on the cake. People keep on saying that if Dirrell fights the way he did versus Froch he will win, news flash, Arthur is a lot better than Carl.

 

As per a previous post, Jermain Taylor performed better vs Froch than Dirrell did, until he ran out of steam and was stopped. He was clearly winning the fight, whereas the Froch vs Dirrell fight saw two men struggle to establish themselves. Taylor came into the Abraham fight in amazing shape, fought smartly, he just fought a better fighter. He had the same problems with Abraham that he had with Winky, only difference being that Arthur has a far more potent offense than the Winkster.

As for talking about Dirrell's competition, by-in-large it isn't on Abraham's level. Froch is a good fight, but you cannot put Oganov, Hanshaw and Stevens on the same level as Eastman, Ikeke, Taylor, Miranda and Gevor.

 

Disagree. Faster and smaller steps will help him cut of the ring.
