Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham: Official Poll

[mcdoodledoo]

I can't really give a massive insight, as I've only seen the Dirrell fight with Froch and a couple of Abraham fights, but here goes.

If Dirrell fights a bit more composed than he did in the Froch fight, he could possibly win a UD as he was making Froch look pretty silly (and I like Froch), but he needs to assert some more authority in the ring, as that's what made him lose the Froch fight. But with his speed and movement, and Abrahams lack of it, Dirrell could box his way to a UD especially since Abraham gives like 3-4 rounds away at the beginning of the fight. He can't KO Abraham as he has a very good chin.

However, the equaliser is Abraham's power. I don't know if Dirrell's chin can hold up to his power, but it's whether Abraham can land enough to get him out of there. So as for now, I'm going with Dirrell by UD.

But as I said, it's only based off the couple of fights I have seen of them both.

It's 35 to 16 in favor of AA. How is he being unrated? Dirrell is no scrub so 35 to 16 in the poll is a landslide in favor of AA.

did i say in the poll? no i said to the americans here from the posts iv read in this thread and others

I may start to favour Dirrell b/c Team Sauerland has decided to move back to Germany, than fly to the US in mid March...going back and forth from -8 GMT to +1 GMT to -6 GMT (actually -5 GMT at that time) in such a short amount of time ain't gonna help any pro athlete to come to the ring in 100% mental and physical shape...though, I'll keep my fingers crossed for AA to beat Dirrell...

If this fight had not been postponed, we could have been watching it by tomorrow... AA by KO. Sorry for my lack of input to this discussion..

[General Zod]

Im going with Abraham by late stoppage

Yes, I'm worried about that. Abraham would have been well-prepared and well-adjusted to the time zone by March 6 if the fight had remained in Palm Springs...

The ***** Dirrell made up the back injury to disrupt Abraham's preparation.

Not only will Dirrell win he will knock Arthur Abraham out and everyone will wonder why they were such idiots for overrating him so badly.

Dirrell will box circles around Abraham all night and when Abraham gets desperate he will start walking into shots he doesn't see coming.

I put my money where my mouth is on this one. I got $100 on Dirrell by KO to win $1000.
