Comments Thread For: Dirrell: "I Plan To Put on a Show [Against Abraham]"

[damned1974]

If this was purely based on styles,I would say Dirrell takes this-easily.Unfortunately Abraham has that one punch KO power.Andre needs to keep his distance,pepper Arthur with jabs,throw hooks to the head,and keep moving.As soon as Arthur's guard budges away,it's time to make Arthur "re-set". At some point,Arthur will have to catch Dirrell,and it could be very scary-I would not bet on this fight-it is very 50/50 imo...we will just have to see if Dirrell applies some ring smarts with AA,because Arthur is inactive,but trying to think of ways to set you up,before he sets you down....Sometimes I think Abraham would be better served to create opportunities instead of wait for them,but his sporadic activity can perhaps take people by surprise.....deadly. Should be pretty good.

You can put on a show, while getting knocked out. Just make sure you get up and tell the ref "Don't ever play with matches!" before going down again.

No Zab Judah/Cedric the Entertainer replay here (althought that was hilarious).

Dirrell will have to do his best to hold onto AA unless he wants to get KTFO.

dirrell needs to be 100% to win, he might just pull it off if he tucks in his chin

Ya Andre your show began a few weeks back when you faked a back injury because you were afraid to fight in front of a what would have been a pro Abraham crowd. good luck filling up the Joe Louis arena in a time where half the state is unemployed... haha.. Gary Shaw will regret this decision. regardless AA will knock your ass out and no home crowd will help you with a decision!!! ****kkin loooooser!!!

You're right. When Dirrell gets knocked down, he will stay down.

I don't understand how Dirrell is going to run all fight when Abraham sits behind his turtle shell for the first 2 minutes of every round without doing any kind of work.

I have Dirrell winning. It's not easy to get through to Abraham, but I feel Dirrell will make him work his ass off to catch him, and Abraham will not be able to cope with the work rate and movement.

Jab away and try to war with Abraham in the middle, boom, but move and use lateral movement especially, then you take away his stationary feet and even his hooks. He needs to be settled down and invites you in with that high guard, biggest mistake is to go for him and stay there.

If Abraham wins, I believe it will be by KO. I can't see him clearly outboxing Dirrell, unless Dirrels loses concentration. I hope he has learnt from the Froch fight about focusing and fighting to win each round and not just to survive.

Sad thing is, I'm a fan of Abraham and feel he is a goog fighter, just that styles make fights for me.
