AA vs Dirrell is going to go 1 of 2 ways

[Ekscape]

Dirrell is going to win this fight... Abrham is to slow, he gives away to many early rounds, he's throws very wide and sloppy (he's fighting a counter puncher), he's flat flooted, and from what i've heard he's not evening taking this fight seriously.... He will loose mark my words I said this same thing about Ward beating Kessler badly and people called me crazy and people will call me crazy again for predicting this one but i got 50k on Dirrell for anyone that says otherwise

So he could lose his last fight in the tourney and still win it if he keeps stopping guys because of the points?

the points system is only for the round robin(this round)......the next round is like, win you go on.....lose and you go home

Good because how ****ty would it be if AA got outpointed by Ward and won the tourney right after because he won most of his fights by ko and Ward got a few UDs.

I think Dirrell's got what it takes to win it. I just hope he doesn't get careless.

1. Dirrell wins a boring UD while pitty patting his way to a points victory landing few shots actually but enough to win rounds due to AA's tight high guard and low punchout put.
2. After being down on the cards due to inactivity more than anything, AA stretches Dirrell with one of those devastating looping hooks later in the fight, in yet another one of his highlight reel ko's.
Variable: Dirrell gets bold, thinks he is a power puncher, trades with AA, and gets blown out early.
So, no way Dirrell wins by ko, and I find it unlikely that AA will win on points. All in all sounds like a boring fight for the majority of it unless AA lands the big shot.

I thought about this long to... but I don't think that Dirrell can win either way...

Abraham has a tight defense and doesn't get hit much... so Dirrell will land a lot on his gloves... the question of course is how much AA throws in return

Abraham fought guys who were more athletic and faster then him but he always found a way to land... so I expect the same here... Dirrell is very bad in defending... the only way he can do it is by moving... I think the pattern will be established through the middle rounds and if AA catches him on the button it's light out for Dirrell...

If the fights get decided on points I think he will win close (based on his punch output) and if a KO comes... it will be AA's. But Dirrell is not to be underestimated... I actually thought that he would melt down against Froch in the later rounds... but he handled it pretty good... we will see... it won't be easy for AA to catch up to him... but he is really smart and figures the pattern of a boxer out... so I simply think that he will land... and after he lands Dirrell will get even more careful...

I've put real money on Dirrel for winning the whole tournament and i'll gain a nice profit considering the odds ,we all know he should have won against froch but the bookies didn't realise that and gave him no chance.If he wins against abraham i'll be happy

Dirrell will win by gift decision, he'll run and hold the entire fight.

The California Commission referee (maybe the crooked Jack Reiss again) will let Dirrell foul as much as he wants. But Dirrell will be afraid of Abraham, and generally keep his distance.

Like Kessler, Abraham will be a bit lethargic, because he'll have trouble adjusting to the Pacific time zone. His body will feel like he's fighting at 5 AM European time, a time he's been asleep all his life. Even if he comes over three weeks before, it will still affect him.

It the fight were in the Eastern time zone of the US, it would be an easier adjustment to make for Abraham, and he'd have a better chance of catching Dirrell and knocking him out.

Dirrell is capable of beating Abraham, but he'll need to mature mentally and be ready for when Abraham brings the heat late one.

He'll also need to refrain from making ****** mistakes, like trying to throw jabs straight down the middle to the body, standing in front of Abraham, etc.

What do you mean by this. How can you not adjust in two weeks. Direll went to England from Big Bear a few days before his fight and he looked just fine.
