Abraham's best chance will be if he is aggressive early-it would throw Dirrell off of his game.I believe the added pressure of fighting at home and "feeling" out an intimidating opponent in the first rounds could work against him...we will see.Abraham is no walk in the park-Dirrell must be more cerebral and take this match VERY seriously.

Dirrell maybe can dance like Ali, so Arthur is going to help him to prove that and make him do the "stanky leg" round the 8th round with a str8 rite . Can't wait for this one, going o have to TiVo the funeka/Joan match , and watch this live ..Comment

I picked Abraham to win it all in the beginning, but Dirrell looked really good in his "loss" (really a win obviously) to Froch. He easily outpointed him 8 rounds to 4. The second time I watched it, I realized that it was never really close in the first place. This fight is a toss-up. I am rooting for a Dirrell victory, as I think he deserves it.Comment

For those talking about odds...
Couple of interesting ones from 5dimes.com:
-Dirrell wins by 12 rnd decision +269
-Abraham wins inside distance +174
Chances are if you like Abraham in the fight, you like him by KO and this probably the way to go.Comment

Nope. Stylewise, AA doesn't have what it takes to compete against a boxer/mover like Dirrell. AA is a burst brawler. He's in his shell, than all of a sudden he becomes a brawler for 5 seconds. Then, back into the shell. And he can't box.
That doesn't mean he can't win. AA's best asset in this fight will be his power. And it says it all. To win a fight, the power has to do actual damage. Power moving air is useless.
I'm rooting for Dirrell. AA didn't put on a good show against Taylor before the last 15 seconds. And Dirrell should look to redeem himself.
