Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham: Official Poll

[Championart]

Time after time people forget that you can't ko what you can't hit. Dirrell will simply be to fast and too hard to hit for Abraham and will outbox him to a 12 round decision.

What i mean is it will be a close one and when i log on here half u clowns will be screaming ROBBERY! As usual after a close bout.

Normally thats what happens when the white guy wins a close decision, or gets the benefit of the doubt. Sorry, but its true.

Although.. Are Armenians white? They look like it but I don't know for sure.

Abraham by KO. If the ref doesn't allow him to hold and headbutt all night. I sometimes wonder why some fighters get away with repeated cheating, while others don't.

Since when does Dirrell head butt anyone?

I think he's going to try it in this fight, like Ward did against Kessler.

If Dirrell is having his way with Abraham he will go for the KO.

People need to realize that this is a tournament and that likely fighters will need 3 points to advance.

With Andre Ward in his final fight Dirrell knows that he will either have to knock Abraham out or beat both Abraham and Ward by decision to advance.

There is something to be said in athletics about the intangible advantage of having your back against the wall. In this case it is extreme, a loss to Abraham means Dirrell is essentially out of the tournament and won't be able to make a decent payday for quite awhile.

Abraham on the other hand is clearly content and relaxed knowing he already has the 3 pts he needs to advance. He is flying back and forth because he doesn't take Dirrell seriously. On the Showtime program Abraham was eating birthday cake while Dirrell sat hungry and watched his friends eat.

I can't wait for this to be over so I can say "I told you so"

I think he's going to try it in this fight, like Ward did against Kessler.

If anyone gets butted it will be Dirrell by the much shorter Abraham charging inside recklessly.

[Pirao]

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

i really se nothing worng with the way they fight..they have their own styles. and the headbutts that happened in the kessler ward fight were clearly accidental, if you actually watch how they occured you'll see that. kessler was just outclassed by a superior, more versatile boxer, just like he was against calzaghe. and same thing with dirrell, he clearly won the froch fight, no ifs ands or buts about it. just my two cents.

and on the dirrel abraham fight, i have dirrel by late stoppage, i feel he will pound abrahams body wtih straight left hands and hooks and abraham will fodl in the end and will be TKOed. ill say 10th round, ref steps in.

I get this feeling Dirrell will win this fight going away. He'll know form last fight that he needs to be more active to win. He'll be able to keep AA at a distance and see every punch coming his way. Every time Arthur tries to get him against the ropes, he'll clinch and turn. Every time AA gets complacent with his hands up, Dirrell will fire eye catching combos.
