Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell is Confident: "No Doubt I'll Beat Abraham"

[bolopunchez]

I'm glad Dirrell has the home-field advantage, as I want him to win. He just needs to stay away from Abraham and use his speed and defense. Under no circumstances should he trade punches. If Abraham gets too close, Dirrell better hold quick.

my thoughts exactly. i know i should be rooting for the home team (being from the states) but Dirrell's confidence isn't shining any light in my direction. I really felt he ould have hurt Froch, but he is way too comfortable in trying to win on points. He should have atleast been awarded a draw in that match, but it was his fight to take. Abraham poses a much bigger problem. Arthur doesnt look to fight, he studies and looks for holes. He's not looking to brawl, so i think Dirrell is going to have his wrok cut out for him if he thinks he can win rounds on counter shots alone. He will need to be more aggressive, and with a big puncher like Abraham i doubt Dirrell will trade with him. He'll be running a lot more than he did against Froch. thank god he is in his hometown, maybe the crowd can push him.

Abraham by late stoppage if anyone wants to make a bet.

Good post, as you say he's in his hometown, that might actually force him to fight a little bit though, dangerous

Anybody care for a bet?

I'm not entirely sure who will win this one, but I'm excited to see it, and I'm willing to bet on it.

I say AA by KO.

Any takers?

I think aa could get the ko tambien BUT i'm willing to put 150K on Dirrell. i keep 4getting he has only 19 damn fights but oh well. pm me for confirmation.

thats a good motivation to win this fight,i dont doubt.but aa is coming to make his american dream also.he wants it,in that case aa got more motivation imo.better dirrell dont tries to duck him inside the ring,aa got a quick and good footwork he would cut his steps easily.i prob will go with aa by sd.

[FloydTBE]

Dirrell will move in and out of range all fight and take a UD win.

[gattigal]

Wonder how his back's gonna feel after he lands on it?

[English puncher]

The running man could actually win this, but AA is a strong man, and will definatly take the running mans head off if he gets careless. I can see the running man stacking up the rounds, but I expect and HOPE King arthurs strength prevails!

I just don't think Dirrell is mature and disciplined enough to not get caught at some point. Abraham is extremely patient and will find that one opening he needs to put Dirrell on the ground.

Style and talent wise, Dirrell should win comfortably, but I think he gets KOed while winning big on the scorecards.

I think Dirrell has a good chance as long as he keeps his hands busy and feet working
