"Abraham’s arms are too short!"

Dirrell confident of victory
"Abraham’s arms are too short!"

Andre Dirrell is supremely confident in advance of Saturday’s SUPER SIX clash against Arthur Abraham in Detroit. “Abraham’s arms are too short, he can’t box, I’ll hand him his first defeat,” proclaimed Dirrell to BILD. “The 20,000 fans at Joe Louis Arena will be pushing me, my 30-member family will b there, and the millions of TV sets will see me win. I’m fast as lightning, dance like Muhammad Ali and constantly change angles so I’ll confuse Abraham….On 24 April I’m getting married. My gift to her is Abraham’s head!”

Dirrell is going to outbox AA badly. I will be amazed if AA wins a round

they really gonna have 20,000 at the fight?
pretty impressive if its true.

as for abrahams arms, theyre not that short. theyre about average.
he wouldnt be able to perfect the peek-a-boo if he had short arms.
its his square stance that makes his reach seem shorter.

as for the fight, i cant see dirrell firing anything that would make abraham respect him.

Dirrell needs to pull a Manny vs Clottey.


He has to fire off 5 to 6 punch combos and get the hell out of there.

He needs double AA's output.

He has the youth speed and talent to pull it off.

Should be interesting.

i dont think he'd be able to keep up that pace. he gassed in the froch fight just from running and wrestling. now you want to add a higher work rate to that?

Lolz. Really. It's average IMO. But I'll be looking for that KO AA is giving out... short arms or not.

He has to stay in the middle of the ring more.

He shouldn't have to worry about trading with AA because of that peek a boo style.

And AA isn't as aggressive as Froch. AA is more plodding.

He waits for you to get tired.

There should also be less wrestling and fouling.

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.
