Abraham vs Dirrell: Can Andre Outhustle "King" Arthur?

[mike ruler]

Movement makes Abraham get wild sometimes too which opens up more counterpunching opportunities. It's an interesting stylistic matchup.

I noticed those wide punches from AA as well. Taylor was just too panicky to stand in the pocket and counter. I think a lot of people on here might be underestimating Dirrell's chin. I saw some clean shots(one of the few) that Froch landed, and it didn't seem to phase Andre. Froch nuthuggers were describing him to be the biggest hitter since Julian Jackson, I must've missed it, but that's a discussion for another time...lol

I could see Dirrell using combinations from the outside early and take the first 4 rounds or so. As Abraham starts reaching hopefully Dirrell can counter, and not get caught with nothing big. Where is this fight happening ne way?

People act like Abraham stamina is great, he got tired against Taylor, though he impressed me with the KO. But to me, Abraham is very predictable. And we've all seen how Dirrell uses the whole ring. Has Abraham ever had to be aggressive, other then when he flurries? Jab, Jab...fake the left by throwing it, and right hand. THAT IS ALL!!!!! I think people underestimate Dirrell. The kid can **** with best of them and it will show against AA. I predict UD, NO KO!!!

Arthur will take his head off.

Dirrell is fast and he can box. He showed it in the last three rounds vs. Froch. He has more reach than AA and will respect the power by keeping the distance. He can go 12 rds and still dance.

But will he be elusive for full 12 rounds? Collecting points by LANDING punches, not throwing them (AA's guard is above average). And avoid the counter all the time, and not getting cornered? I doubt it.

AA needs to land a few body shots and Dirrell will just be driving his getaway car, without shooting back. And that will not earn him a UD, even in his backyard.
