I haven't capped this fight yet, but from just glancing at the line it seems roughly correct to me. Dirrell's track-meet style of fighting will never make him too much of a dog against anybody, and I don't think Abraham is quite as good as the public makes him out to be.

Whatever the case, best of luck with your pick.

Abraham is by far the superior fighter in this tournament, but I have to say these Euro's have been exposed of late. Kessler was dominated. Froch has been dominated in his last two fights, stole one and got a gift against Taylor. Abraham outboxed Taylor, but I think the KO was overblown because Taylor always crumbles to pressure fighters. I didn't really learn anything new about him with that fight.

Even though I've never seen Dirrell's chin tested, I think this one goes 12. I even give Dirrell a distant shot at winning on the cards, but he's gonna have to press the action a little bit or AA will legitimately steal rounds.

Here is a little test of Dirrell's chin. Still won the fight though..

I havnt followed boxing in years so dont have much to input. Just questions: Is this fight in Califormia? Has Abraham fought much in the States? Does the travel play any factor in capping this fight? Does anyone expect any judging bias?

Abraham is a scary dude with power but Dirrell is much more skilled and beat Froch IMO. I like the rounds as stated by some.

right now i'm passing on this fight. i know dirrell has been wobbled, but he is a lot faster and longer than abraham.
