[KezzInch]

The obvious prediction:
AA via late KO

 

[ArlovskiFang]

The obvious prediction:
AA via late KO

No more to say.

 

[Mike Mesey]

The obvious prediction:
AA via late KO

Obvious if he can can catch him.

I see a decision likely,but maybe an AA late ko or stoppage.

 

[Mike Mesey]

Poll is up.

 

[prod2821]

AA late KO, well hopefully, won't be too easy though

 

[Sickening Thudd]

Dirrells going to look good the first couple rounds(AA notoriously slow starter) but the constant pressure is going to wear on Dirrell and I see him eventually wilting.

Co-sign w/above posters. AA Late Stoppage

 

[roosterjuicer]

I agree, Late stoppage

 

[Mike Mesey]

Damn everyone is taking AA.

Im surprised by that.

 

[prod2821]

This over teh UFC? i actually look forward to this fight. I'll probably watch both

Predictions from Froch, Green, Ward, and Kessler

Boxing: Super Six fighters’ predictions

 

[Gontran]

Abraham by ko rounds 7-12, hopefully
Wouldn't be that surprised to see a Dirrell ud but fuck let's hope not

 

[TheRatman]

Nobody is picking Dirrell to win yet. I am not cause I think AA is going to win the whole thing without losing any fight.

 

[nip102]

AA early ko

 

[Abishai**]

I'm taking Dirrell by UD. He's going to outbox AA like he did Froch.

I agree i dont just see how AA can land something big.
Will he get him to back up?No.
Will he corner him?Likely not.
Will he counter him?No.

I dont see how AA can,but he does have a punchers chance,and that is a good chance.

I initially thought Froch was going to maul Dirrell...how wrong I was...and let's make it perfectly clear...Dirrell won that fight was robbed.

AA has some dynamite hands and he can put you out easily...but Dirrell is one slippery SOB.

 

[Zyklon R]

I picked Abraham by KO rounds 7-12.

 

[rainmaker89]

easy UD for Abraham, he will definitely get some shots in but none big ones to put away Matrix..

 

[sobralfan1]

lol....I'm the only one who picked Dirrell by SD.
