    Well, he is trying to be a tactical fighter. He did like to brawl more when he was younger.

    What's your opinion on Dirrell-Abraham?

      You giving me odds if i pick Dirrell?

          I reckon AA style is tailor made for Dirrell but its whether Dirrell's chin can hold up. A fighter who pressures Dirrel is going to give him lots of trouble but i think AA slow footspeed might count against him and allow Dirrell to get off and move, that said if he catches Dirrell he will prolly render the boy unconscious.

          I believe AA is one of the true devastating punchers in all the divisions, probably bigger than Haye imo.

                    I think this is a fight with a lot to consider. This fight essentially rests upon how Dirrell performs and what he does. We know what AA will do.

                    AA, for some odd reason, gives away three or four rounds to learn his opponent's rhythm, trying to find a weakness. It seems like something he'd do watching tape, but after watching a decent amount of his fights, it's what it seems like to me.

                    The thing is Dirrell, is very, very fast. If AA is one of the P4P hardest punchers, Dirrell is one of the P4P fastest. Dirrell is also capable of giving Abraham a variety of looks. As I stated before, Abraham likes to break you down. However, Dirrell can feint, fought as a southpaw or orthodox. If he does these, he might be able to confuse and throw him off.

                    Also, if there's a punch you can hit Dirrell with, it's a left hook. However, Abraham throws his fairly wide, which will leave him open to the very fast and quality countering ability of Dirrell.

                    Those are some of my thoughts going into the fight. Agree or disgaree?

                      I agree.

                      One sobering thought is that Lajuan Simon had to take some monster shots to get to the 12th rounds against AA and Miranda has a relatively good chin and lots of heart but still got KTFO, that said Dirrell is much more diverse than either of those guys a just generally better overall.

                      AA is like most of those fighters who fight outta the peek a boo defence he is flat footed most of the time so you can get off first and move over after punching, that said for some reason he has a pretty efficient jab which is unexpected.
