Arthur is a strong favourite in the fight but I really fancy Dirrell to win. He's very quick, great handspeed, good runner, uses the whole ring.

I think he may have the right style to win. Abraham fights straight ahead. He's very flatfooted and much slower than Dirrell. I think he'll really struggle to hit Dirrell with many clean punches.

The fight takes place in America as well, so that may play some part if there is a decision.

I know it's still like a month until the fight but I just checked the odds now and am very tempted to put some money on Dirrell.

How does everyone else see the fight going? Anyone else think Dirrell is great value?

Yes , I' ll go with that opinion .

I'll be backing Dirrell to win , but in this case I will be waiting until a little closer the fight before i bet.

Money will be heaped on Arthur , as he's the European star . With most betting money coming from Europe .
The US dont get bets down online or on the exchanges anymore .

With Direll , I would have made him slight favourite over Arthur .
Direll was soo impressive in his last fight , which he ironically lost .

Only a half dozen fighters have I seen , which really stood out as exceptional upcomers .
Andre Direll was one of those fighters ....

I think he could top the division and dominate this division later in his career . Phenomenal fighter

No can't see it happening between judges in Germany and Abraham wont make the same mystakes that Froch did

Abraham won't have the same problems with Dirrel that Froch had, as he is a more skillfull fighter than Froch, he proved this against Taylor when he outboxed him before the brutal ko.

Even if Abraham doesn't land much what does land will really hurt Dirrell eventually leading to a stoppage.

Abraham all the way here. Easy UD decision is what I predict. Abraham is a class act, I can't see him being beaten for a while yet. Not by Bute or any of the super six.

Abrham willl walk through Dirrell and KO hin

T-K-O · 11-02-2010 9:22pm

Can I get a hell No. The smurf will stop him late.

Arthur offers more versatility in attack and defense than
Carl Froch. I think AA susses' out Direll to win a UD

cowzerp · 13-02-2010 1:50pm

I say nay!

Abraham will ko him in my opinion.

I say Dirrell takes it via a surprisingly easy UD over Abraham who is vastly overrated. Dirrell is easily the best boxer in the tournament imo.

AA to figure him out and a Late KO.

Ward is the most skillful boxer left in it. He proved this against Kessler. Kessler didn't have an off day- he was made to look limited due to Ward's superior handspeed. If anyone has a chance of beating Abraham it's Ward. Dirrell is not more skillfull than Taylor, and remember Abraham was beating him on points prior to the ko. As well as that Abraham has a granite chin and hits like a mule, i just don't see how Dirrell will go 12 rounds with him

Dirrell to beat Abraham, what say thee?
