    Will Abraham be able to "connect" on Dirrell?

    Or will Dr. Dre be too slick and outwork King Artur enroute a UD? He punches like a mule and can knock anyone out but can he land on Dirrell?

    Should be a great fight, be intretsing to see if dirrelluses same tatic he did against froch, or maybe stand and trade some rounds. I think direllwill have to stand n trade soemtimes if he wants to win this fight, abraham is very dangerous and has got explosive power.

    I think abraham wont be able to 'connect' many times on dirrell, reason being that dirrellis very fast and will look to move from side to side.

      I think he'll have to wait on Dirrell and time him. Abraham can be quite explosive when he punches and he is sneaky behind his guard.

        Depends, If Direll runs for the hills all night it'll be tough, But IMO Abraham is trickier than froch, and will find a way to make direll fight.

        Oh it will be bad when Abraham lands his hammers on poor Direll.

          Abraham only needs to connect once and i think he will. Im gonna bet all my points on Abraham winning this fight.

            It will be a game of Cat and Mouse. Dirrell will be using tha footwork all night long but AA will give him the chase and try to cut off the ring. Should be a damn good fight. It all depends on how long Dirrell can keep that up.

              All dirrell has to do is watch pac-clottey everyday. he has all the tools to pitch a shutout like pac did to clottey. But unfortunately the guy fights scared and runs instead of unloading fast combos, he just doesn't take risks.

              AA will have a hard time catching Dirrell but dirrell has that very negative style.

                i dont think abraham will connect much with dirrell. I think dirrell might win via split decision !!

                  Except he has no power, a dodgy chin and is a scaredy cat!

                    This is true. Dirrel has all the tools, we saw him hurt Froch in the last round of their fight, he has speed, he has footwork. I don't know why he dosen't take more chances, maybe he dosen't trust his chin or maybe he lacks the warrior mentality. He could be great if he was willing to risk it.
