AA vs Dirrell- March 6th, 2010
Ward vs Green/Bika- Feb. 5, 2010 on Showtime, winner faces Ward on the same night as Kess-Froch
Kessler vs Froch- April 17th, 2010, Showtime
I think the AA-Dirrell fight will surprise a few people. Abraham had a target that stayed right in front of him in Taylor, but Dirrell will not do that. Dirrell will give him alot of movement, and box him. I think AA has to pressure Dirrell and make him fight, however, Froch didn't seem to hit Dirrell with anything too big that hurt him. AA is bigger puncher than Froch and if he lands clean, Dirrell can be in trouble. Dirrell needs to get a bit more under control and sit down on his shots and fight a whole 12 rounds (if it goes the distance that is). I like Dirrell to win this one in a 12 round decision because I believe he will not make the same mistakes from his fight with Froch.
I think Ward beats the winner of this fight, with his superior boxing skills and determination. But Green-Bika should be a good one. Bika has knocked out his last 4 opponents, and Green is looking for his time to shine. I will call this fight about a week before it happens.
Kessler-Froch, I'm going to go with Kessler, although I have never really been largely impressed by him. Likewise, Froch has not largely impressed me. But these guys are two of the top fighters at this weight and I believe that Kessler will have something to prove come fight night. Neither guy put forth their best performance in Stage One of the tourney, so I honestly see this as being the most competitive fight of this Stage. Froch has been doing some trash talking, so lets see it that will translate into a victory on April 17th.
