    Curious thing is that Abraham was never down on the cards at the end of each of his fights (except his rematch with Miranda)...

      Dirrell can win a decision if he can improve is understanding of pro boxing, He doesnt need to stand and take punishment but he needs to stand is ground and box more like he did against Froch in the 10 and 11th round of their fight.

      He has more skills than most of the guys in the tourney and he wouldnt be doing himself any justice by running,hitting and holding..

        Exactly, that's what I've said all along.. Everyone says he will lose on points.. Then he goes, and get's a KO, but better yet he was up on the cards anyways.. LOL.

          Abraham hasn't got a belt. He kissed it goodbye when he decided to enter the super 6.

                Home cooking is why he lost to Froch.

                  A.d. Can win.

                  A.d. Can win this fight. But it depends on how the loss will affect him. Either it's going to make him stronger and more determined, or weak. My guess is it will make him more determined. Just remember this guys, the europeans r basic fighters. There advantage is mental. Heart and toughness. A.d. Is well-conditioned and can easily out-point a.a. So don't be surprised if he does just that. 1 more thing. Mr. Ward is the best american in this tourney and he has the goods and smarts to steal this whole thing and i think he will beat kessler as well.

                    No doubt Abraham has to win by knockout. He can't outbox Dirrell.

                      Is Abraham a worse, less skilled boxer than Froch?

                      Cos he got a decision, why on earth couldn't Arbaham whom just out boxed Taylor, AND knocked him out?
