Comments Thread For: Arthur Abraham Says Detroit Venue Will Not Save Dirrell

[ChopperRead]

both boxers were pretty unhappy with the first venue as it only held 3000 people. I think that's the real reason for the delay, I don't think dirrell really got injured.

I hope there's still enough people living in Detroit to go and see the fight.

Direll is going to win by a decision.

dirrell winnign on cards?
maybe dirrell will move like a cat around the ring. pretty to watch( in reality scared of getiin KTFO), but if Abraham wont ctahc him( not gonne happen) now listien:

Abraham winning the fight on points more possible than Dirrell winning by UD.
but I smell this brutal KO... I smell blood

Dirrell is gonna crap himself once he gets in the ring. He was scared of Froch, although I had Dirrewll winning that fight, so what's he gonna be like when facing Arthur who probably hits harder than Froch?

scared of froch?there was some school by dirrell.

You're giving Dirrell too much credit. King Arthur knows what's he's doing in there. He'll cut the ring off and when he does, it's curtains for Dirrell.
Froch was too awkward to get it done -- Arthur has tremendous balance, and that will be the difference.

I'm always amazed by King A, I love the man's confidence I head the chick that returned his belt could be heard moaning loudly at the conclusion of Fight Camp 360. She had a nice booty on her

back peddling against abraham is foolish you have to give him angle especially when he cover up. Both me have stamina issues and this fight may end in KO for the simple fact Abraham may have to attack more often than he's use to and Dirrell may have to unload more often than he himself is use to. Remember Dirrell is fighting at home and we boxing fans all know what fighting at home can do to a fighter.

Abraham probably has one of the best chins in the business so Dirrell better attack that body early and often?? Anybody else feel the same

Dirrel's best rounds vs. Froch were the final rounds. He showed he had the tools to win, but gave away the fight by running/holding in Froch's hometown.

If he is smart, he'll try to repeat those three rounds vs. Froch in a fight with AA, but he needs to watch out for AA's strikes more than for Forch's.

SHOULD Dirrell manage that, he might win on points. I doubt he has the power to KO AA. But I doubt that he can avoid AA's power bursts long enough to last 12 rds.

AA by late KO.

I like your assessment but I think Dirrell would run rather than get stopped by KO in his hometown, what's funny is when discussing Dirrell I hear alot of mights and maybes. If Dirrell loses he might not be training to his full potential and may need to bring in some new management because he looks way to laid back in training camp. One thing for sure Dirrell is a big man and his 6'2 solid frame maybe a little too much for Abraham you see Taylor is 5'11 and Miranda is 5'10 so he didn't look to outsized or out muscled.
