AA wasn't there to win any rounds.

Good point, AA is willing to give up rounds and open up later on, but I dont think he will do it to such an extent anymore. I expect to see him step on the gas a lot earlier in his fights from now on, and I expect to see a war between him and Ward in the final. BTW, does anyone know what the scorecards were in AA vs Taylor going into the 12th round?Comment

Every fighter has their own strategy, this one worked for AA his whole career, not saying he would have knocked out Dirrell anyway but it was getting interesting. AA knows now that he cant do that ever again against a slick boxer like Dirrell, and he wont try it against Ward.Comment

my advice: peekaboo, but more head movement like tyson (whom AA idolizes). if dirrell can split his guard, then other guys in the super six should be able to also. and if they have a little movement and outwork AA, then AA is ****ed.
if AA bobs and weaves, ducks and dodges, he would be very very dangerous. he needs to fire his current coach and hire atlas to teach him to fight like tyson.
he's a rich mofo, he could hire tyson as a consultant himself.Comment

Thats what I have tried to explain. People then reply Abraham did not trouble Dirrell, then how did Abraham knock him down in the 10th?
I think it was still a 50-50 outcome before the dq. If I bet I would have gone for a dirrell decision at that time but wouldnt surprise me if abraham got the koComment
