        Dirrell unlike Taylor is a natural SMW who's very fast and uses his feet a lot. Dirrell win by decision, convincingly.

          Dirrell and convincingly do not go together. He doesn't have a great punch output, and most of his pitty pat punches will be blocked by Abrahams tight guard. While Dirrell can win a decision, he will have to take some risks during the fight to do it. And I'm not sure Dirrell has the heart or warrior mentality to get close and throw shots at Abraham.

              i hate dirrell's style as much as anyone but through all that time, froch was barely landing anything.......dirrells landed punches were more and pof better quality than froch and more consistent, erego, he shouldve won easy..

                It's unanimous that Abraham has to get the KO and its hard to do it against someone that avoids getting into confrontation.

                Abraham could be at a disadvantage in his guard, even Jermain Taylor was landing shots to his body, I bet Dirrell knows this & will circle around him and land body shots, scoring.

                There will be peaks in the fight when Abraham will have his chances, but Dirrell won't have to risk anything, he would surely be winning the remaining amount in the round like expected.

                Good fight anyhow.

                  This is a good prediction, but the fight has to turn out like it is written. I doubt, even feeling comfortable and having early success, that Dirrell will forget his careful approach.

                  Tough fight, I hope Dirrell gets the decision, it will make the stage 3 more exciting.

                    I got AA by KO, but I can also see him getting outboxed for 12 rounds. This is a tough call. My feeling is Dirrell wins the first 3 or 4 rounds easy and AA comes on after that like he always does. But I expect it to look like a wash in Dirrells favor for the first half of the fight.

                      GTFOH with that bull shyt. Froch was schooled by a VERY green boxer. It was embarrassing. The fact that it was that close of a fight is just pathetic. Dirrell schooled him and yes "lost" to the very clear fact that it was in Froch's home town. If that fight takes place in the states I guarantee Froch is DQ'ed or loses by a wide decision. You have to land a punch to win a fight.

                      Dirrell has great boxing skills. The fact that he's green is a whole other topic. Froch was schooled and embarrassed. A rematch needs to take place but in the States. Not where Froch gets a home cooked meal.

                      I also doubt Froch wins another fight in this tournament.
