    Why wouldnt he. Thats how he will maximize his chances of winning. Why stand a trade with him?

      Didn't Shumenov do #2 against Campillo in the first fight?

        Dirrell's the taller, naturally bigger man. He's been fighting at super middleweight for years.

        Abraham has been a middleweight and was a welterweight in the amateurs.

        Why should a bigger man run from a smaller man?

        If Dirrell shows he has no courage, some of the Detroit fans will jeer him.

          He won't run, but he will not trade. It's called effective movement. Alot of fighters don't have effective movement like Dirrell and Mayweather because they lack the athletic ability and/or footwork.

            Exactly.

              Tunney, AA is one of the hardest punchers in boxing. Period. Dirrell being bigger doesnt mean he has to be ****** and trade with him.

                No unlike Dirrel Mayweather doesn't fall to the ground whenever there is a chance off an exchange and he doesn't allways hug, they are not the same. Dirrel thought like a ***** and lost even though he was the superior fighter last time out..

                  No, not that I recall. Have you watched that fight? What has that got to do with this fight?

                  I remember Campillo ran from Uzelkov, but eventually got cornered and KOed by a nice punch.

                    That was ONE fight, Dirrell hugged. Your evaluation is coming from ONE fight...

                      I agree, Mayweather's style is not cowardly like Dirrell's.

                      Floyd moves and slips punches and then counters, while Dirrell runs, deliberately falls, and repeatedly holds his opponents arms.
