I don't think Dirrell has been in the fire enough to avoid Abraham for 12 rounds, there will be points where he does something stupid and Abraham lays it on him, and I think gets the KO.
The question, and it will be answered, is Abraham better than Froch? Because how Abraham performs, comparisons will be drawn off their two fights with Dirrell. If Dirrell wins a close fight and gets the decision, we might not know but if Abraham wins big, his stock will raise alot!
Arthur Abraham would beat Carl Froch, but styles make fights, you know that.

i imagine it going like pac-clottey. abraham will turtle up and dirrell will punch trying to get through the guard except with this fight, abraham will catch dirrell with a big punch and takes control of the rest of the fight.
All dirrell has to do is watch pac-clottey everyday. he has all the tools to pitch a shutout like pac did to clottey. But unfortunately the guy fights scared and runs instead of unloading fast combos, he just doesn't take risks.
AA will have a hard time catching Dirrell but dirrell has that very negative style.
This is true. Dirrel has all the tools, we saw him hurt Froch in the last round of their fight, he has speed, he has footwork. I don't know why he dosen't take more chances, maybe he dosen't trust his chin or maybe he lacks the warrior mentality. He could be great if he was willing to risk it.

It will be a game of Cat and Mouse. Dirrell will be using tha footwork all night long but AA will give him the chase and try to cut off the ring. Should be a damn good fight. It all depends on how long Dirrell can keep that up.
Or will Dr. Dre be too slick and outwork King Artur enroute a UD? He punches like a mule and can knock anyone out but can he land on Dirrell?
Should be a great fight, be intretsing to see if dirrelluses same tatic he did against froch, or maybe stand and trade some rounds. I think direllwill have to stand n trade soemtimes if he wants to win this fight, abraham is very dangerous and has got explosive power.
I think abraham wont be able to 'connect' many times on dirrell, reason being that dirrellis very fast and will look to move from side to side.
