Why Andre Dirrell will outclass Abraham!!!!!!

This is a tough fight for me to call. While power, aggressiveness, and experience definitly go to Abraham, Dirrell's got him beat on speed, footwork, and actual boxing skills. I still believe it'll be Dirrell by UD or Abraham by KO but no outcome in this fight (save for a robbery) will shock or surprise me.

Part of me says Dirrell won't be able to handle the stalking and the pressure of Abraham while the other part of me says Dirrell will run the entire fight and throw mostly jabs while Abraham has lots of trouble finding and catching Dirrell. Tonight I'm leaning more towards an Abraham victory based on experience and the fact that Abraham's skills (power excluded) are somewhat underrated.

I do predict however that the fight will stink and be long as well as boring. Please Arthur, knock Dirrell out!

 

It's very possible, I'm sticking with Abraham and will be shocked if he loses but Dirrell can pull it off if he doesn't wait and just move around scared without throwing in return. He had a far worse opponent, in my opinion, like Froch and had him hurt but didn't bite.

 

abraham will ko dirrell in 9!

 

Same i favour Dirrell in this one, my $$ is on him

 

Reloaded was the shittiest follow-up in motion picture history, you might not wanna wish the same performance for Dirrell! :thumbsup

 

dirrell to win a unanimous decision - 4/1 - very tempting that.

 

Abraham by stoppage in the 8th.

 

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 :bbb

 

sorry to ask in this thread - what time are they fighting?

on topic - yeah Dirrell is a slickster but you need more than that to beat AA - I honestly feel that Dirrell's only chance is a contravesial decison after running all night long. if he goes out there and shows low aggression and excessive holding (as he did against Froch) then he has no chance unless the judges botch it.

ps. why do so many people on here think Dirrell was robbed against Froch?? his display was awful and he never did enough to win the right - even the US boxing media said he did not do enough - so why are some many people on ESB trying to re-write history?

 

great avy

 

so is yours

 

Andre 'Nytol' Dirrell is gonna put on a masterful display of 'ring generalship' which to me and you boils down to him stinking the place out on his way to a points win.

 

dirrell has done nothing so far in his career to indicate being able to win against someone like abraham

Dirrell has 19 total fights

AA has had 11 World title fights alone

AA has been tested (miranda I fight) Brutal war, broken jaw
Dirrell chokes first real test against a very weak champion

Not saying Dirrell isnt capable of winning...i picked him over froch...but until he shows me something, i definatley wouldnt pic him against abraham

 

I am not sure that Dirrell is necessarily more skilled. Arthur is incredibly skilled. His defense is very hard to get around, and his offense is very effective. He isn't necessarily classically skilled, but no one can be as successful as he has been without being skilled.
