Super middleweight Andre Dirrell is shining with confidence as the days close away and the fight gets closer with Arthur Abraham. This Saturday at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan, Dirrell will appear in the ring before thousands of hometown fans. He gets a shot to redemption by facing the undefeated Super Six tournament leader. Dirrell returns to action after a close points loss to WBC champion Carl Froch.
Dirrell knows Abraham is a big puncher but he doesn't see the unbeaten fighter having enough boxing skill to win. Speed and movement will overcome Abraham's power, says Dirrell
“Abraham is a power puncher,” Dirrell told The Detroit Free Press. “But I’ve fought a million guys like him. A boxer like me can easily adapt to a puncher. He’ll have to figure me out. I’m fast and elusive, and I’ve got sneaky power myself. I can punch him from any angle.”
