Abraham-Dirrell

By Scott Gilfoid: Losing the controversial 12 round split decision to WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch was perhaps the best thing that could have ever happened for Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s). Although I think Dirrell easily defeated Froch by an eight rounds to three with one even margin, I think a loss for [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: After listening to the On the Ropes program at my favorite site East Side Boxing, I think Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) is going to have to punish the slow-moving unbeaten Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) a lot worse than I thought for Dirrell to get the win. Abraham said “It’s better [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Former International Boxing Federation middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) goes into his March 27th fight against American Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) with three strikes against him.

By Scott Gilfoid: When you’re dealing with a fighter who has almost no hand speed or ability to move around the ring the last thing you want to do is make it easy on them by just standing in front of them to let them punch. This is why Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s), an [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Make no mistake, Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) has almost everything going against him in his stage 2 Super Six tournament fight against Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s).

By Scott Gilfoid: It’s a question that we won’t know until the first punches are sent flying on March 27th, but based on observing the last handful of fights of Arthur Abraham and Andre Dirrell, I’d have to say that Abraham is far too slow to compete with Dirrell. Some slow fighters are able to [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) has none of the qualities that makes Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) so great a fighter. Abraham is a slow, crude slugger that tends to try and overpower his opponents with a combination of rough stuff and sledge hammer blows. Abraham, perhaps because of his stocky build [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: The March 27th Super Six bout between unbeaten Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) and Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) comes down to this: Unless the 30-year-old Abraham can score a knockout, he’s going to end up getting badly out-boxed and will end up losing by a wide decision. That’s pretty much what [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Whatever chance that former International Boxing Federation middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) had in beating American Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) effectively disappeared as of today when it was announced that their stage 2 Super Six bout will be taking place at the Joe Louis Arena, in Detroit, Michigan.

By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) might as well re-park his red Ferrari back in his garage and leave it there for the rest of the Super Six tournament after he gets pummeled by American Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) next month on March 6th in their stage 2 [...]
