Arthur Abraham vs. Andre Dirrell Jan 23/10

I am from the UK and just hope we don't get no-more BS decisions throughout this tournament !
I see Dirrel giving Arthur Abraham Fits for 12 rounds...but will Dirrel get Fairplay?

[The_Visitation]

Dirrell wins by decision, I think a lot of people will be shocked, too much speed, too much ring intelligence for Abraham to handle.

What 'ring intelligence'? If Dirrell had any of that he would have landed twice as many on Froch as he did... his major problem is that he lacks it, and the judgement of when to risk taking a hit in order to land three. And Abraham is both smarter and quicker than Froch; he'll land more and get hit less.

It might come for Dirrell with experience, but in this fight Abraham outclasses and KOs him.

I want Abe to KO Dirrell.....Dirrell is my least favorite in the tourney.....I don't like the guy at all.......so Abe by brutal KO!!

[Klitschko2011]

I'll bet you 20K, and don't worry about my other bets, I'll erase them for now.

Done Deal.

Sig it up.

Oh i dont like Dirrels style ether...but he won that Froch fight IMO !

[The Hammer]

Abraham by KO, and it's the only way he can win.

If it goes to a decision, Abraham will very likely get robbed by the American judges, just like other Europeans like Felix Sturm and Axel Shultz did when they fought in the US.

Looks like this fight is confirmed for Showtime on Jan 23, although the venue hasn't yet been decided on. There is a chance it will be at Madison Square Gardens in New York.

Who will win this fight? There was another poll, but this one is a public poll so we can see who voted.

I won't be anything like Dirrell's fight vs. Froch.
It's so damn difficult to get past Abraham's tight guard, he will allow Dirrell to move in and out and wait for him to make mistakes.

Dirrell will have an enormous height/reach, speed and workrate advantage, but again, even a guy of Talors caliber had big problems getting past Abrahams defense.

I'm going for Abraham by stoppage.

Direll can win if he doesnt act a ***** like he did against froch! stop too much clinching, he just need to at least throw more than against froch,He also needs to be patient wen abraham throws, he needs to counter, and punch wen he is moving backwards. however i feel abraham might knock him out

[Boxingwizard]

Andre Dirrell reminds me of Roy Jones Jr. and so does Jean Pascal, but both of them are not as good as Roy Jones Jr.

Abraham by KO. Dirrell is fast but his defense will let him down
