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

[Earl-Hickey]

I've never seen Abraham cut the ring, he will need to against Abraham. From what I've seen Froch is better at cutting the ring then Abraham is.

He never really has needed to has he from what i have seen.

the thing is though, the fight is in america, so i am expecting the ring to be one of the biggest i have ever seen.

Bernstein said that all rings in the Super Six will be 20X20.

However, Kessler and Ward agreed to use a smaller ring.....

yo can bet your lunch money that Direll will agree to no such deal.

Velcro shoes, thats what would be the best thing.

I haven't even heard of that being proposed.

I was just telling you what the size of the ring will most likely be....

what it is is they have the fluffy side of velcro on the canvas, and then they have the "hook" side on the soles of their boots.

Abraham could stop him at any stage, one decent clean shot and its all over imo.

The thing is though, Direll is a slippery bastard, he has great reflexes, i think it might not be a bad idea to concentrate on his body, because he is great at avoiding head shots, the body though? im not so sure.

In the Froch fight, I remember him using his defense off the ropes and doing a great job of avoiding Froch's body punches. Abraham is a lot different from Froch, though. I remember some of the body punches that Abraham landed on Taylor and you could just tell they hurt badly.

Dirrell's been down and hurt before so I think he needs to be fully focussed. He needs to run, potshot and don't get into any type of exchanges.

I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about Dirrell agreeing to a smaller ring.....

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

I agree he's fast when he wants to be, I think Dirrell matured tremendouly after his loss. Look for him to take advantage of Abrahams slow start and rack up the points. I wonder who has the better chin Froch or Abraham. Abraham has a cast Iron Jaw (literally) but he's going to have to start early and thats what will get him in trouble with the taller faster Dirrell.

If AA does not KO Dirrell before the 8th round, he won't win.

[Clegg]

It's a tough one because neither has ever faced an opponent similar to the other before and it's difficult to imagine how their styles will go together.

This might turn out to be as boring as people are anticipating, however neither of them are the type to accept defeat without a fight. Both of them have shown a willingness to step it up in the championship rounds. Dirrell had a great 11th round against Froch, and AA has scored several late round knock outs.

If it's close after the first 8 rounds or so, I expect things to heat up and get more intense from that point onwards.
