By Kirk Jackson: King Arthur Abraham, Armenian boxing champion based out of Germany has a reputation for being a well liked and a seemingly modest guy. Perhaps an isolated event shouldn’t grant someone access to judge another person’s character, but with the events stemming from Arthur’s recent fight against Dirrell, and a few other things [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Last Saturday’s fight was a horrible display of sportsmanship with Arthur Abraham not only blasting away at a fallen Andre Dirrell while he was on the canvas, but also afterwards the fight with Abraham suggesting that Dirrell had acted being hurt from the punch that he was hit with by Abraham. I [...]

By Chris Williams: I’ve seen the replay of Arthur Abraham’s illegal knockout blow in the 11th round against Andre Dirrell numerous times, and I don’t understand how Abraham couldn’t have known that Dirrell was down when he had time enough to wind up with a golf swing punch and send him into the stratosphere. This [...]

By Jim Dower: Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KO’s) despite his glorious victory over previously unbeaten Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) last Saturday night in their Super Six tournament bout, is far from happy due to ending of the fight.

By Scott Gilfoid: For all the critics of Andre Dirrell, who predicted him being beaten by Arthur Abraham last Saturday night, it’s time for you all to eat some crow for your wrong predictions. I hate to gloat, but I have to say I told all of you that Dirrell was going to win and [...]

By William Mackay: Up until Saturday night, Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) has always seemed like a nice guy with a gentile disposition.

By Eric Hernandez: The atmosphere was electric at Joe Louis Arena. It was the home coming out party for Andre Dirrell and he would not disappoint.

By Eric Thomas: In the fallout from last night’s 11th round disqualification loss for Arthur Abraham against Andre Dirrell at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan, the American Dirrell is getting branded by many boxing fans as faker.

Photo: Team Sauerland – By Scott Gilfoid: It was a sad night for fans of Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s).

By Matt Flanagan: The latest Super 6 bout ended in controversy last night when Arthur Abraham was disqualified for landing an illegal shot on Andre Dirrell.

By Alexander Fugate: Andre Dirrell was using his superior speed of both hand and foot to frustrate “King” Arthur Abraham. Dirrell kept winning rounds, as Abraham threw very few punches, and most of the ones he did throw landed on nothing but air. Arthur threw numerous wide hooks that missed badly. Then in the fourth [...]

By Peter Wells: Tonight the second stage of the Super Six tournament commences, with two very different fighters. People say opposites attract, and maybe we could be in for something special. You wouldn’t be saying that though if you predicted this fight to be anything like the Dirrell-Froch fight, October last year. Dirrell ran and [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: As we go into tonight’s fight between the talented Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) and the rather crude slugger Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) at the Joe Louis Arena, in Detroit, Michigan, we have a number of boxing fans with only a scant knowledge of the sport picking Abraham to win the [...]

By Alexander Fugate: After re-watching all the round one fights of the Super Six Tournament, I come away being very impressed by Andre Dirrel and Andre Ward.

By Scott Gilfoid: This Saturday’s bout between super middleweights Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s) and former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) couldn’t have any more different fighters going up against other than them.
