Abraham vs Dirrell

[stebs]

Ok, so who you got fellas? I'm excited about this one since I'm seeing it live at Detroit . Sh*tty undercard but hopefully there will be at least one more fight worth watching. Anyone see a fight live in Joe Louis arena btw?

I have been to several fights there, it's not bad, it seats about 20,000 people and I'm sure it won't be sold out so try to grab a seat on one of the sides of the arena. Last fight I seen there was Hearns losing to Uriah Grant by tko but Hearns quit on the stool after twisting his ankle, I also seen Hilmer Kenty and Hearns win their first major titles their, Ernie Shavers vs Randall tex Cobb was on that card also, that was a boring sloppy fight with Cobb winning by tko or exhaustion, I seen Holmes ko Leon Spinks their too.

Hearns and Kenty were great but watching them both come up through the ranks at the old Olympia stadium was even better, that place was great to see a fight at.

Style wise Dirrell is a nightmare for Abraham. Imo Dirrell is gonna out work him much like Taylor did in the fight but not fade after 4 rounds.Weather he can manage to not get hit by the bombs that AA will be throwing later in the fight is another thing but if he avoids them he wins the fight for me.

Guys, you gotta stop with that American bias nonsense. Not all places in the US are identical. Unlike you, we are a country of immigrants. Some areas have a predominantly Mexican population and some Armenian. If that fight had taken place in Palm Springs where it was originally scheduled, there would have been an Abraham bias because the crowd would have been almost entirely of Armenian descent. Now, I'll grant that it was a little odd that the fight was moved to Flint, Michigan, Dirrell's hometown because of an alleged injury. Sounds fishy. I can't lie. That said, Abraham is a fan favorite in the tournament and a knockout artist and the best competitor Dirrell has ever been in with. It should be a good fight as long as Dirrell doesn't stink out the joint.
