Dirrell has a 4 inch height and reach advantage. A will have his moments but Dirrell will be tagging him all night.

he will be tagging AA's gloves all night and will panic when he gets hit

I have Dirrell winning assuming both fight the same, but Dirrell with that less running and holding.

However Abraham has decent timing and his guard is solid. His speed is not that slow TBH because he doesn't throw and get that tired.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dirrell does get countered hard at times, but I beelieve he will be much better VS fRoch and he is just too fast and agile for the beast.

It's a Leopard VS a Wilderbeast.

Wilderbeast have their moments VS gazelles, warthogs and cheetahs, but not a leopard.

As you saw with Pac-Clottey. If hes landind on gloves or not hes still scoring if AA isnt doing anything.

AA will have a hard time finding Dirrell and when AA Moves around thering his hands are down and Dirrell is fast enough to land flus and get out the way.

still, if he stays in the middle of the ring and throws 3s, 4s and 5s that just gives more openings for abraham to exchange. i think once abraham tastes dirrells power (especially if dirrell throws in combination) he'll be more willing to exchange. abraham can take dirrells punch, but dirrell cant take abraham's.

it'd be a nice strategy on dirrell's part but i just cant see him being a higher work rate guy. i think his best chance is to stay on the outside, in the orthodox stance and stay on his stick. he looked great vs froch when he was popping that jab. then for whatever reason he switched southpaw, where he doesnt jab at all.

IMO, if dirrell doesnt get caught, he could win this fight with his left hand only. jab and if abraham lunges at him, check hook spin out. repeat.

I pretty much agree with this.

Dirrell needs to keep it together down the stretch and not wear himself down by using too! much movement.

[P4P Opinion]

I think Dirrell will win a decision but leave questions about his heart once again. He had only himself to blame for the loss to Froch - if he'd had the courage to engage a little more he'd have won comfortably. I expect Dirrell to land mainly on Abraham's gloves and avoid taking big shots all night long.

I used to think that dirrell would win a relatively comfortable decision but the more I think about it and the more of this rubbish I hear from dirrel the more a late AA KO seems likely. He'll look to walk dirrell down, keep him on edge and get a late KO when AD has tired.

Abraham knocked out 6'4 Kingsley Ikeke...Yes we know Direll is much better, but Abraham is one of the hardest punchers P4P, which makes this an interesting match up. They are both my favourites but I think Abraham wins this one, Dirrell certainly can win too by outboxing Abraham but lets see.

If Abraham wins I will be very impressed considering he was fighting in another country, with all three judges being from Michigan and a guy who is very talented/beat Froch.

I cannot remember Abraham fighting a guy who did not have longer reach.
