Finally, the main event. The Super Six. Abraham vs. Dirrell.
Direll can box, but he is skittish and amateurish. GW, comparing this bout to Ward-Kessler is nuts.
Also, Arthur has actually already had 2 bouts at super-middle, if you count his bout at 166 with Miranda. Both Miranda and Taylor ended with brutal KOs. I think this one does as well.
Dirrell is no Ward (maybe same talent physically, but LACKING mentally in a big way), and Abraham is NO Kessler. Remember how Kessler starting bitching about those cuts on his face? Abraham fought with a damn broken jaw against Miranda. Arthur is a bad ass MF. The dude has convinced me in a big way.
I think at some point, he pins this kid on the ropes and smashes Dirrell. He will probably be down on the cards when it happens. But he will get Direll. I actually think Abraham will start a bit faster Saturday, knowing the cards are stacked against him. He is gonna run the American out of the ring.
Also, although I scored the last fight for Dirrell, I was VERY disappointed in his performance. Froch, as wee says, is a caveman. Very raw. Abraham is stronger and more precise. Dirrell, at some point, early or late, is going to realize he is stuck and start the four corners defense. But he will only be able to run for so long.
King Arthur. KTFO.
