Is it me or is Arthur Abraham-Andre Dirrell a really tough call?

wat do u guys think?

[PensionKiller]

I like Abraham, heart of a lion, powerful, tight and technical, but I really think Dirrell is a bad style for him.

Engage in Abraham, and it will be hard to hit or withstand his power.

However, move around, pot shot and move, then you have a good chance because his workrate is very, very low. Especially the first few rounds are gonna be easy ones to steal.

The question is, can Dirrell with his speed and agility win it? I personally think that he will not hold as much, but still keep moving. The Froch fight should have taught him to make some changes. I don't rate Forch that highly as a boxer, so I won't make it a huge close fight for Dirrell as a good thing when Taylor totally won everyone round up to the 9th or something, while Baraham made him look like nothing. Abraham is tough, but will get tagged I am sure, when he needs to chase Dirrell, he will get countered and not hit Dirrell.

I haven't seen Abraham deal with someone so fast and agile. Dirrell isnt that accurate, so that's another sissue, but I like his style for this fight.

I have 50k to anyone that Dirrell wins.

PM me and post here. First come, first served.


The only way I can see Dirrell losing if he does not move or gets KO'd.

I agree that it's a tough call. I'm still not sold on Abraham and it's my belief that Direll is a bad style match-up for him. I sense an upset.

Abraham won't let Dirrell take away his zero - no way. You know, basically this is the same discussion all over the forums we had before the AA vs. Taylor fight. Dirrell is a very talented, very gifted young fighter, but you've to realize that AA's ring intelligence and punching power is special, very special. IF Dirrell is able to win more rounds than Abraham till the 8th round, then I expect nothing less than an order by Ulli Wegner to knock Dirrell out - and we've never had such a situation before. Personally I think that hell will break loose if AA has to win by KO for the first time in his career. I don't see that Dirrell is able to avoid Abraham's canons for all 12 rounds.

AA is going to give dirrell a beating but that will only start around the 5-6th round. He has too much power so when he does unleash the hammer it's going to cause some serious problems for dirrell.

It's just that Abraham is lazy. He is also quite slow. He's never met anyone with the speed that Direll has.

Abraham does have the equalizer though

No, he isn't. Dirrell is a lot faster on his feet though. Abraham knows how to cut off the ring very well and his punches are only predictable after he already hurt his opponent. His punches are quite fast and actually very accurate.

AA's handspeed is above average. His footspeed is like that of a snail sorry.

Not really King AA is KTFO Dirrell. When will people learn? AA has one of the best defenses in boxing, P4P was on the hardest punchers in boxing, incredible strong, and one of the smartest fighters in boxing. The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for Andre Dirrell
