Comments Thread For: Arthur Abraham vs Sven Ottke: Sparring For Dirrell

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BERLIN — Two undefeated champions battled it out in the Max-Schmeling-Gym on Wednesday afternoon when King Arthur Abraham welcomed a special sparring partner. In order to prepare for the Super Six World Boxing Classic Group Stage 2 meeting with Andre Dirrell on March 6 (live on SHOWTIME® at 9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast), coach Ulli Wegner had invited former WBA/IBF Super-Middleweight Champion Sven Ottke to challenge Abraham. The “Phantom”, who retired undefeated in 2004, is known for his fast legs and special movements. “Sven can help Arthur in the preparation for Dirrell,” Wegner said. “Arthur will have to track Dirrell down. That´s why sparring with a fast, smart and clever fighter like Sven certainly helps.”

In dirrell's last fight I thought he did just enough to get a sd win, but he was getting manhandled at times by froch.if and it's a big if double AA gets him against the ropes or the corner he will feel the power and have to drop at least once in the fight.he did too much sprinting and he didn't look fluid with the froch fight.

I think Direll bounces back from that lost to Froch. I feel Direll has the tools to go the distance and take it to AA.

What??? Froch landed like 5 punches. Dirrell almost stopped him at one point.
