    Judging by their first rounds performances, I'm leaning towards Abraham at the moment.

    I'll have to break down this fight more.

      Yes, I put January 23/10 in my thread title.

        Dirrel impressed me against Froch, he is very fast, elusive, and has quick hands and feet. I think he can cause Abraham trouble, but it's a big ask whether he can defeat him.

          Oops. My mistake.

          I read the title too quickly and thought you wrote it out the European way, making it October 23rd. I didn't notice the 'Jan'.

            I think people are taking Abraham's knockout of Taylor too seriously. I see Dirrell winning this fight by decision but big credit to Abraham if he does beat Dirrell.

              Where is the decision for, "Dirrell clearly wins on points, however the judges give Abraham a gift decision aka robbery"

                The fight is in the US so hopefully AA gets screwed on the cards since the Euros already made it clear they are gonna screw the Yanks any chance they get.

                  Since the fight will be in the US, the one who is far more likely to be robbed is King Arthur.
