The super-six tournament has shown that white fighters get hyped up and over-rated. Abraham wouldn't have got to Dirrell even if the fight had been 15 rounds. He has NO SKILLS. He just comes forward and that's it. No feints, no headmovement, no bobbing and weaving, no combos, he's got nothing apart from strength. He should take up MMA, that's not diss to him. It's just that I think his style of fighting would be more suited to that.
That's a dumb-assed off target statement. I mean really @ 168 these are the best in the world, all of them, and its certainly not like any fighter in the tourney black or white is light years ahead in terms of talent or skill over the others. Dirrell may be physically gifted, but he doesn't have any power, his defensive skills are border line roller skating. This tourney has matched them almost perfectly because on any given night either of them could beat the other.

And as far as your second statement, do you honestly know how much skill it takes to be able to win a fight without those skills? I mean this plodding heavybag still had dirrell on his bike the last third of the fight and still managed to drop him however unofficial. Next time try to make a point without racial statements, because truthfully the most technically sound fighter in the tourney is Mikkell Kessler (a white guy), but that alone isn't going to win as you see he's already lost...
