Comments Thread For: Abraham vs Dirrell To Take Place in Detroit, March 27

[Dirty Harry]

Good place to bring a fight. If there are decent judges no one is going to get robbed, but who know these days, haha. Dirrell can win a clean UD if he boxes and moves like he did in the Froch fight, because Froch was going forward and throwing a lot of punches and Dirrell barely broke a sweat through the whole fight. Abraham isn't really a pressure fighter he likes to take breathers and explodes especially now that he's carrying more weight. It's gonna be tough for Abraham to win if he just boxes because Dirrell is an unbelievably fast boxer and moves really well. Abraham needs to hurt Dirrell to win. Dirrell just needs to box beautifully like in the Froch fight and stay out of the way of Abraham's explosions, and there won't be any robbery.

LOL, AA is getting robbed.

Yes. He needs a KO to win.

dude every euro fighter and ward gets hometown fights in super 6......no problem with dirrell getting one...

But Ward is the only one who gets ALL his fights at home, with help from his crooked home referee appointed by the crooked California Boxing Commission (and a little help from his previously-convicted steroid doctor).

I see some people want to cry robbery before the fight has taken place.

Even before a location was confirmed, I personally think that if the fight lasts all 12 rounds, I'd favour Dirrell the victor....as long as he is mentally prepared which wasn't the case in the Froch fight.

The favoured outcome would be Abraham by stoppage, but something tells me Dirrell is gonna suprise.

It's a bit sad, really.

Ward negotiated all his fights at home before the tournament started. Don't blame him, blame the other fighters for agreeing to it.

He's smart and they're dumb.

Nice, the California venue would have basically been another hometown fight for Abraham in terms of the crowd considering Darchinyan was fighting on the undercard and you know the Armenian fans would have been there in full support.

I dont where your from and to be honest I've never read your posts but you hit the nail RIGHT NOW the head. Gary Shaw isn't ******, and because of Vic Darchinyan he knows us Armenians EXTREMELY well and the only reason HE delayed the fight was to change the venue. He knew damm well 75% of that crowd was going to be Armenians thus swinging the hometown advantage to AA, I had tix; ragingvic had tix; almost every Armenian in the LA area had tix to this fight........soooooo you pull out and move it to D-Town......very smart Shaw....very smart

LOL, AA is getting robbed.

I think Dirrel would have got robbed if it took place where Abraham lives.I think Dirrel gonna beat Abraham easily and please quote me on that.



Abraham style is not gonna work on a quick,slick,elusive fighter like Dirrel.Abraham is too defensive minded.

They all agreed to it because they took it lightly. The Euro promotors were confident that Kessler was gonna beat his ass so bad that giving him a homefield advantage would be like giving him a kiss before they ****ed him.

Plus, I don't know why all these Europeans keep insisting that all 3 of Wards fights are at home. They just blurt out any ****** thought that comes to mind apparently.

The only thing guaranteed to Ward is that he wouldn't have to travel to Europe, not that all of his fights would be in California.

If Taylor had beaten Abraham the fight between Taylor and Ward would have likely been in LA or Vegas but not in Oakland. It just worked out that nobody wants to see Ward fight Green anywhere but in Oakland.

You can also bet that if Dirrell beats Abraham the 3rd round match between Ward and Dirrell won't be in Oakland, but on neutral ground.
