Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham: Official Poll

[Hitman932]

We'll see man. I just don't like Dirrell and Ward and their negative style of fighting, hope they both get KOd.

Well, to use an old expression, you can wish in one hand and **** in the other and see which fills up first.

I don't see how you can class Ward as having a negative style he came forward and beat the crap out of Kessler all night. If he mixed in butts that makes his style a little dirty but hardly negative.

It makes it more than a little dirty. And resorting to cheating is negative IMO.

The only fighter resorting to cheating was Froch because he was desperate and outclassed.

Abe has this one. Dirrell does not throw enough and will be scared to get inside with Abraham, even moreso that he was with Froch.
The early rounds will be close, but Abraham will come on late and catch and stop Dirrell.

Ward headbutted on quite a few ocasions against Kessler, last time I checked headbutting is cheating.

There were 2 or 3 clear butts and only the final one, after the fight was well in hand, looked even remotely intentional.

Kessler was happy to be headbutted at that point, he wanted out of the ring cause he was getting whooped so bad.

Late in the fight he was just sitting there hoping to draw a DQ. He wasn't even trying to move his head out of the way.

This is true. also, like i said in my previous post, abraham has never been in with someone as big as dirrell, and obviously not as fast. i think dirrell will really hurt abraham to the body and will ultimately lead to dirrell TKOing abraham, just my opinion.

[Chrismart]

If Dirrell can keep aay from Abrahams big shots and can keep is stamina up, he has a great chance of winning a UD.
He will probabaly rack up adecent points lead in the first 4-5 rounds, but its then down to if AA's pressure will tell.
After Dirrell lost on points after being on the move against Froch, it might be in the back of his mind to stand and trade a bit more, which could play right into AA's hands.

I wouldnt be suprised if Dirrell got a points win. But i can see AA making his pressure tell in the later rounds and KO / TKO'ing Dirrell.

Dirrell outboxes and jabs to pieces the flat footed walk forwards predictable Euro fighter and wins a wide UD.
