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

    I like Dirrel's chances in this fight. You can say that if he lost to Froch, Abraham will kill him but I don't think so.Some people are sleeping on Froch because he looks really ordinary and slow, but he's an awkward fighter with a good stamina, willingness, power and a way better work rate than Abraham, he gets overlook all the time and he takes advantage of that.

    BTW I think Dirrell did beat Carl Froch.

      I'm rooting for Abraham, but there's a good chance the cowardly Dirrell will run all night and the jingoistic American judges will give him a gift decision.

      Can Abraham catch the chicken?

        people are blind.

        Abe is gonne modda****in hurt dirrell until he will be cought in da MIDDLEROUNDS.

        MOST BRUTAL K.O.

          Dirrell has alot of physical advantages over AA, but I still see AA winning (and winning the tournament outright, only Ward stands in his way, IMHO).

          If he doesn't knock Dirrell out, he at least deters him with his power. I actually think AA's skills are underrated - sometimes people make out like he he hides behind his shell and relies on his power to bail him out, which isn't true. He knows what's he's doing.

          Saying that though, AA's best two wins have been Miranda and Taylor (both after they had been already knocked out by Pavlik) so it's going to be interesting to see how he deals with a very fresh and physically gifted fighter with amazing handspeed for the weight class.

          Dirrell should theoretically be a bad style-match up for AA but I just think he has too much power and savvy for Dirrell.

          Hope Dirrell wins, though.

            AA's workrate is terrible. Dirrell is going to win rounds by just throwing more than him. IF Andre can take AA's punches, he's going to cruise to a UD. AA HAS to KO him to win.

              Dirrell by UD. You people act like Dirrell is easy to hit. AA fights medium range, Dirrell is not going to exchange or even be in mid range much. AA KOs people from fainting with a jab/throwing a jab he's knows is going to miss, and lunging with a hook or short power punches.

                Who has taken Abrahams punches besides Miranda in the first fight? Remember Miranda was never the same after that fight anyway.

                No on at 168 can stand and trade with Abraham. Iron chin, iron hands.

                    Abraham is like Pacquiao in the sense that even if you are blocking his punches, he finds a way to punch threw until he lands flush. Like I said earlier, I feel real sorry for Andre Dirrell in this fight. Dudes gonna get KO in one of the most brutalist fashions.
