he has more power but much shorter reach..
true but he has fought plenty of guys with the height and reach advantage and still managed to take them out (although i admit he has never fought anybody with dirrells speed,but you could reverse it and say dirrell has never fought anybody with the power AA has)
thats why its such an intriguing style match-up
abraham is fast compared to froch,who caught dirrell a few times
plus he has more power than froch
this is no certainty for either guy

lol Abraham is slow as balls and durrell goes side to side spins you around and is much taller and rangier than abraham.. froch was a similar size..
Dirrell UD I see abraham getting very frustrated and losing on activity dirrell will not be in front of him when he unleashes his 3 punch flurries which occur once or twice every round.

Very good matchup, I bet Abraham is the strong favorite but Dirrell is a live underdog. If Dirrell can withstand the chin check and the heart check he would have a good chance.
im picking abraham by KO
that said,dirrell definitly has a shot at winning a decision.he will have learnt something from the froch robbery
thing is,i think his tactics he used for the froch fight would be more suited in a fight with abraham (he should have stood his ground more with froch,the guy is slow as hell and dirrell could definitly have hurt him)
he is going to have to use his feet and fast hands a lot in this one,he shouldnt be to concerned with hurting AA imo,as this will leave him open to counters
its an intriguing style match-up,one that im very excited about
It hurts me bad to say it but i think Dirrell is going to get knocked out:nonono:
I wish he didn't have to fight Abraham next because I think he could beat Abraham in the future but he still needs a little improvement I just don't think he ready yet.
If Dirrell fights the same way he fought against Froch, it's highly doubtful he'll get the decision.
The mostly Armenian crowd will boo him anytime he avoids a brawl and will cheer very loudly for every Abraham flurry, accurate or not.
either i've seen the future, or you just copied and pasted that from another thread

I see it going either two ways.
Dirrell uses his superior handspeed and movement to box and move around the slower Abraham which leads to a 12 round decision win for Dirrell.
Dirrell moves alot and outboxes Abraham for the first half of the fight, Abraham then ups his workrate and starts landing big shots out of his tight guard. The fight makes it to the late rounds where Abraham lands a big shot and removes Dirrell from his senses.
Honestly i see dirrell running like a biyatch then getting caught by a king size sledgehammer in the later rounds.
i hav a feelin dirrell gettin caught earlier -in da middle rounds
Dirrell should fight Abraham like he fought Curtis Stevens and run for the hills the entire fight. If he does that, he'll win.
Will he???
I think so, I got Dirrell by UD.
