We gonna have any streams for this fight?

You're definitely a moron who don't know nothing about boxing. Dirrell winning by UD lmao. Dirrell has no chances at all even if he is trying to cheat and fake more injuries. You're gonna be dissapointed son just like your ****ing fatman hatton.

Dirrell has a much better chance at a UD than Abraham does.

AA won't be KOing Dirrell... ones 5'10 and the others 6'2 ffs.. and there's like a 3/4 reach advantage.

This ain't pacman throwing at all angles, this is clottey shooting straight punches in his defense, except he will be punching upwards, telegraphing while leveraging his punches.

If it weren't for this tourney, AA would stay clear of Dirrell.

It only takes one punch from AA to change a fight. If Dirrell wins much of the opening rounds, he may be lulled into a false sense of confidence and start to engage a little more than he would normally do. This would give AA a chance to land a big punch, and we all know the second half of the fight is where he performs best.

But other than that, I agree with you. This is a very difficult fight for AA, and I have Dirrell winning on points.

Why does'nt Dirrell STFU already. He's got a big mouth for a guy thats scared to get hit. Now the guy gets a decision handed to him over and undefeated fighter in Abraham and he has the nerve to brag that he's better. Lets get real here. If he did'nt have his ref and judges and fans to help him then this fight would'nt be as easy for him. Why is no one protesting the fact that Dirrell gets the ref and all 3 judges. Everytime Abraham gets close the ref will break them up. Arthur won't have a chance. Dirrell just knows this thats why he's so confident all of a sudden. This is the reason I hate the sport sometimes. I know exactly whats going to happen already. Most casual veiwers won't know the details about the fight and they will just be shocked because they won't understand. They are staring to make boxing all about the casual viewer. The casual viewer does'nt know **** and is much easier to fool. Dirrell will be rewarded for clinching and punching and falling down everytime the other guy gets close.

This was a great post man.

Height and reach are important, but its doesnt mean by any means that the guy wont be KO'd. Mike Tyson used to KO guys 4-5 inches taller than him for fun, It's all about the technique and power. If Abraham hits Dirrell he will get hurt but it depends how Dirrell deals with that. If he puts it all on the line and lets his hands go I feel he can win, but for some reason I dont see that happening.

Tyson and AA have been compared before... but whereas Tyson KOs them in a few rounds, AA finishes them off later.

The reason Tyson was able to do this was the other guys were all slow being at heavyweight, and he had the advantage of speed technique ect...

We're talking about Dirrell who is 6'2, southpaw, mobile, fast and holds all the cards against AA apart from Power Experience...

Hell it's even in Detroit with hometown refs and judges from what I've heard.

If Dirrell can stand and last 12 rounds with a hard hitting, constant throwing, same size Froch then he can against a negative, small sized AA.

Then again it's all there for Dirrell to win, unless he goofs up.

Its easier to fight a guy with a constant punch putput than a guy with a changing output who wants to suprise you with unexpected explosive attacks. Its much more difficult to "puzzle" such a guy. Froch is a tough and strong fighter but to me he looks like a ordinary fighter. Hes slow, has no defense and and is not skilled either. Abraham brings more to the table. He doesnt look like the most skilled fighter either, but hes an intelligent fighter, has good ring generalship, a great defense, good timining and last but not least impressive power. Even though Abrahams biggest strenght seems to be his power, he always says: Its not the stronger man who wins the fight, its the smarter man who wins the fight". I think hes right and thats the reason why the skilled Taylor lost to guys like Pavlik and Froch, cause he has verry bad ring intelligence. And its also the reason why Hopkins does so well at his age.
