    I've always been one to favour the guy I think is the better fighter.

    Abraham is the better fighter.

    Dirrell has beaten nobody of note.

    To say Detroit will be a hostile environment is laughable. Is the city of Detroit aware that Dirrell even exists? I didn't know empty seats could be hostile LOL.

    At sometime during this fight Abraham will have Dirrell in trouble...and he's shown when he gets someone in trouble he's a finisher.

    Abraham by KO.

      i think AA will do what froch couldnt - stop dirrell, but it wouldnt shock me to see dirrell takes a UD/SD.
      i have the feeling this fight is gonna be one of the best in this tournament.

          Matrix by a split, as long as he keeps his hands and feet moving

            I placed bets on Abraham a few months ago, but I now think Dirrell will run to survive the distance and receive a gift decision.

            I'm surprised that many boxing experts who are usually correct are still picking Abraham.
            tough fight for both fighters

                I feel that Andre has too much hand and foot speed/movement for Abraham to beat him. Dirrell 117-111
                I`m surprised at the results.I thought this board would overwhelmingly pick AA.I think Dirrel beats Abraham very easily.Dirrel is too fast, too allusive and too busy while AA is too defensive, to slow on foot and not busy enough.Also Dirrel is much taller much rangier and have very underrated boxing skills which trumps AA boxing Skills.

                  I agree... I smell an upset

                    I think Dirrell will start quickly against Abraham as Abraham takes him time to check him out and warm up, the question is whether Dirrell can keep disciplined and whether he can control Abraham when Abraham does warm up. I'll go with the upset, Dirrell by decision, I think his legs will carry him through in the end but I wouldn't be surprised if he were hanging on at the very end because I do see Abraham wearing him down.

                      I agree. I think like Clottey Abraham won't be active enough and Dirrell will use his speed his win a decision. Even though if Abraham lands it's over, he just needs to be active.
