Will Arthur Abraham receive fair officiating from the ref and judges in Michigan?

well since AA always shells up for 3-4 rounds he needs to get a KO to win this fight regardless.

Dirrell will be too active and will be able to range him too much.

AA will have to throw some good straights though instead of his sometimes loopy punches.

we all know what dirrell does with loopy punches

(see Froch-Dirrell)

given Abraham's style, he NEEDS a ko to win regardless of the hometown **** or not

I feel the same but also think there will be some shiestiness in this fight, for or against him I don't know

[gingeralbino]

did you complain about abrahams german officiating? everytime taylor hit him with a bodyshot it was called a low blow so all he did the rest of the fight was throw weak ass jabs...quit having double standards.....that said abraham wont be able to outbox dirrell, he has to knock his ass down at least a few times to win.....

if my memory serves me right, Taylor's team asked the ref to be strict on low blows prior to AA v Taylor.

Is that how other people in Michigan feel about Europeans?

Abraham and his camp are likely to be the only white people in attendance.

I watched a card at Cobo Arena back in 2005, and me and my buddy were the only honkys in the cheaper seats.

I've seen Red Wings hockey at Joe Louis Arena but not boxing.

I don't know how anyone can answer that question. Thats something that gets answered once it happens. lol.

Given the style of Abraham, he will probably need a KO to win because Dirrell will probably outbox for majority of the rounds due to his superior speed and movement.

LOL. No.

Metro Detroit has a large population of European Americans. I know hundreds of Hungarians aside from myself and there is a huge Polish community as well.

I can tell you one thing from watching Arthur this afternoon and hearing him answer questions. He is not the least bit concerned about the judges or referee.
