    LMAO @ "Froch landing with SPEED and ACCURACY"- it was rare when Froch landed,and he was slower than a 3 toed sloth.Froch won the "best air punches"of the year award!

      Dirrell can go to the body all he wants, but he's still going to need the amber lamps at the end of the night.

        Froch didn't land much at all, to the point it was rather hilarious. But he did a couple of times, and Dirrell took em.

          If he's going to the body, IMO he's gonna have to be careful when throwing down the middle.

          That's when Abraham will either block the punches or force them to go low with his arms, and then work the ref....

            Interesting, going to the body sounds fine but risky against a puncher like Abraham who has a murderous hook. I think Dirrell has the tools to outbox him.

              Unless you have inside connections, i think this fight sold out pretty quickly.

                True. Watch the knock down in his fight with Rocha. Dirrell got up after a very hard punch...

                  Well then I am going to favor AA by ko if the much taller Dirrell is going to be dipping down low and getting close to AA in order to attack the body putting himself in AA's range to land one of the looping hooks.

                    Reaching down to the body is dangerous when you are up against a power puncher. I doubt Dirrell will be throwing inside body punches, so he will be leaning in from the outside with his jab. When you throw to the body from the outside, you can sometimes leave your chin wide open when you come back up, and are liable to be hit with your opponents hook.

                    If Dirrell isn't careful, he may find himself lying on the canvas staring at the lights.

                      I agree that it would be a wise tactic also considering that AA has had several broken ribs in past. His body is like an egg.
