Okay, tonights fight is huge, if you think about it. Lets for a minute forget that the fight is for the Super Six, since it is only a small part of these guys career and focus on it, more on the level of building a career. Which guy needs this fight more?
If Dirrell wins tonight he will be looked at as one of the top fighters in the sport. He would have beat the front runner in this division and in most peoples eyes beat another one of the top guys, on his soil. Also, his record would be pretty much undefeated(thats another debate). A win does a lot for Andre but a loss sets him way back, imo. Not only would he have 2 losses in a row but many people would just say "you can't beat the top dogs, the way you fight."
Now, if Abe wins it just gives more people fuel to say this guy is a beast and can't be beat. If he losses though, a huge void and question about him as a fighter will linger. Many people will say "this guys style just won't work against top boxers."
Tonight is a huge fight and will give us a little insight in each guys future.
