    Is it crazy for me to think that Dirrell can pull the upset against Arthur?

    If Dirrell ran from a so so fighter in Froch, how much more will he run from AA and just try to pot shot his way to a victory? Can the smurf cut off the ring, can he make it ugly can he leap in bounds? What strategy should the smurf use? I know that AA has a lot more experience but he has never been on this side of the pond and now the home town cooking will be in the running mans favor and most likely he will be rewarded for basically doing what Dirrell does best. I might seriously consider picking Dirrell to win this match.

    Your thoughts.

        its possible... AA is even less active than Froch, but AA is faster

          Cookoo man.

          Abraham has this one in the bag. Dirrell is going to take BIG body shots if he tries to clinch AA. I see Dirrell going down from a left hook to the body.

              The more you boys say no, the more I am thinking yes.
              I still have plenty of time to entertain these thoughts.

                In a word:
                YES.

                  I don't think Dirrell can get through AA's guard to "score" enough and land the upset. Abraham does have defense after all to go along with his offense.

                  Froch showed a few times that Dirrell can be cornered and I think that's where Abraham needs to get him and try to keep him.

                    No. I think it's possible, clearly Dirrell should be the underdog but with his speed and reflexes he would be a threat to anyone in the tournament IMO. And he will be the biggest guy Abraham will have fought, even though Showtime listed him as 6'1, he looks more like 6'2 and is a naturally big guy.

                    Dirrell would also surely have learned from the Froch fight, he has that extra seasoning now that he didn't have before which can only help him.
