Did Dirrell Run Most Of The Fight Or Stand Toe-To-Toe??

[krispy kreme]

He didn't necessarily stand in front of Abraham, but he certainly did not run. He boxed from angles properly and moved effectively. I think he was looking to just hit and run a little towards the end of the fight, because he was winning by a good margin and he knew what Abraham is capable of in the late rounds

Just vote....

dirrell was outwoking AA and splitting AA's guard. I didn't think dirrell could punch that hard.

dirrell threw a lot of punches... way more than he did against froch.

imho, if he threw that many punches against froch and turned him, he would've beat froch easily.

he stood in front of AA and unloaded. but when AA was ready to throw, dirrell had already turned him or backed off out of range.

AA's problem is that he waited for dirrell to finish to throw his combo... that is the flaw of all peekaboo boxers...lack of seamless transition between offense and defense.

Yeah you're right, he was standing in front at times and letting loose.

Perfect example of boxing. He used angles and effective movement without having to stand and trade or run. It was closer to toe to toe than running, but not really either.

He was right there all fight. He did move and box, but not run. He moved and boxed beautifully.

[lyricalether]

I didnt see much running..he was on his bike way more in the froch fight. He didnt go toe to toe but he stood his ground for the most part. if he did that against Froch it would have been an easy decision for him. Probably a KO.

Those aren't the only 2 choices. He didn't run but didn't stand toe to toe either. Somewhere in between. He used his good movement to make abraham miss. Beautiful stuff. But he did run at the end
