Bad news for some of our fantasy leaguers oh well...

As reported on our front page, here is a link...

Abraham vs. Dirrell OFF!

European boxing fans everywhere are breathing a collective sigh of relief...

WELL ALL GOTTA SAY IS MR.DIRRELL IS PROBABLY JUS POSTPONING THE ENEVIDABLE!THE KING WILL EVENTUALLY WHIP THAT ASS!

For now.....

Direll was never going to beat abraham

LOL.

It's just postponed...the fight is taking place a few weeks later on March 27.

Yo Rivado...check your PM.

Yes, it's postponed...but to the Euros, that's like the Governor called down and gave Arthur a 3 week stay of execution.

In the words of my boy chris Tucker[& u kno this man]§tha king is gonna take dat whole biotch!

Abraham's gonna knock Dirrell the fuck out.

I see a Zab like Chicken Dance coming in this one.

Prepare to be amused.

If by disgrace, you mean...boxed his ears off...then yes, I agree 100 percent.

I can't wait till Abraham smashes BORELL!!!! That boring afraid to get hurt showboater is finally gonna feel pressure and I believe he WILL fold!

Jack

Totally agree! I still cannot see how some had Direll winning that fight. While it was close, Froch was the aggressor in most of the rounds, landing the cleaner shots. You don't win a world title by running, showboating, falling to your knees, protesting non-existent fouls to buy time. Direll is the second coming of Mark Breland. Not much more than that.

Jack

Funny - I agree with both Spyder and Fitz on this one. I thought Dirrell beat Froch pretty easy and was robbed of the decision. But I also thought he fought in a...shall we say...unmanly manner. Not unlike the way Spinks fought Mayorga, and I'm still pissed to this day that Cory got the decision in that one.

Doesn't matter. Abraham is no Froch and once he gets his feet wet after a few rounds he's gonna time Dirrell and absolutely smoke him.

I agree, Judo throws should be legal and a part of boxing.

Dirrell was an absolute disgrace in the Froch fight. I was at an amateur show Friday night and some of the kids boxing were as young as 12, yet every single one of them had more courage than that man.

Abraham will also find him awkward to fight, simply because he doesn't come to fight...I hope Arthur puts him out of the fight game. Period.

You're just mad that he went over there and made that British Bum look like a fucking caveman.

If by getting his hand raised, and getting a win on his record you mean receiving a gift decision, you are absolutely correct. However since the Super 6 tournament is based on a points system and not single elimination...then any meaning behind progressing further after one fight is wrong.


Hey, it's cool. Boxing isn't for everybody. A lot of people prefer MMA and WWE.

Dirrell is a cunty bitch.

If I may correct you Fitz... I think I saw Dirrel playing field hockey on ESPN.

And he turned Dancing With the Stars down because they wouldnt allow man on man action.

Silly aussie math...you don't actually "advance" while you're STILL fighting in a round robin.


...maybe gay-for-pay is your thing. I just prefer seeing men get punched in the face.

The ONLY thing that I don't like about Abraham is that he is a super slow starter and that's not good. He should pick up the pace earlier in fights. "Borell" could get like a 4-1 rounds advantage by doing his showboating thing. But he can't do much more than that to keep Abraham off of him.

THE FIGHT of this tournament could be Ward-Abraham. Direll should watch Ward on how he beat Kessler and maybe he can learn how to box. Don't count Froch out of this thing either! He's not pretty to watch, but he's naturally aggresive and gets the job done.

I just hate watching Direll fight....Sorry, I mean run. It's such a turn off.

Jack

LMAO at Dirrell killing Jack's boner.

I READ YESTERDAY THAT THE FIGHT IS GOING ON IN DETROIT - AT THE JOE LOUIS ARENA- 3/27/10

JOE LOUIS ARENA BABY-- GREAT PLACE FOR A FIGHT

I hope this fight doesn't create a band of Dirrell haters like the Pac-Cotto fight did.

I mean, there are A LOT of people acting like the superior boxer has NO CHANCE against the inactive puncher...

Edison Miranda was good enough to break his jaw, and convince a lot of people that he won that fight. But the point deductions and scoring of that fight doesn't even matter...it was Edison Miranda. lol

That fight shouldn't have been close.

You have to remember though that the undefeated Miranda of the first fight was a ferocious take-no-prisoners beast in the ring. He was becoming one of the more feared fighters in the sport.

The Edison Miranda you speak of today is not the same fighter. He's had something serious taken out of him since then. And Abraham flat annihilated that version of Miranda in their rematch.

Yes, On Abraham-Miranda I,

I thought even with the point deductions in that fight Miranda was right there on the cards. I had several 9-9 rounds when points were taken away and I either had it a draw or Miranda by a point. it wasn't so much that Abraham won, but the margin that the judges gave it to him was ridiculous!

Jack

Oh great! BORELL will probably get a decision than and advance in this tournament. SHIT!

Jack

You're right, but Andre Dirrell is more skilled than ANY version of Edison Miranda. Kelly Pavlik out-punched the feared Edison Miranda, it seems like Abraham should've had an easier time doing the same thing. ESPECIALLY considering that AA's bread and butter is hitting people hard.


My point is that THAT fight shouldn't have even gone to the cards. It should've looked exactly like the second fight.


Knowing both guy's styles, wouldn't you think that Dirrell would win a decision anyway? I mean, it's not like Abraham is a volume puncher. The dude knocks people out...if the fight goes the distance, then Andre Dirrell put on a clinic.

I'm 80% sure Dirrell will win this fight...so I'm gonna lay 2, 3 hundred on him...

I think he'll win it by deserved Decision too...like a clear 8-4.

Smart man!

I will have nothing but good things to say about Dirrell if he can beat King Arthur but I just do not see it. At some point he's gonna get clocked, and then he'll either be taking a nap, or running for his life. Abraham has severe power.

Yes, he does. But that's ALL he has,

Good stuff Rivado. I think this format is much better. I think it is better off just picking fights for the month rather than every week. Not that everyone would have seen all of these guys, but they seem more relevant as well so you don't feel like you are 'guessing' most of the time.

Thanks!

USA USA USA!!!!!!!!! I actually like Abraham but after watching all these 360s Im 100% USA.

WAR DIRRELL!!!!

Welcome back to the A-Team Stylez.

Sign me up brother... Dirrell was robbed blind against Froch. If he doesn't get caught with something lethal, I see him winning 9 or 10 rounds!

Yup...that's the game plan. Stay away from the bombs, and make that boy eat combinations ALL NIGHT!

I had a dream two days (I work nights so I sleep during the day) that Dirrell won by 9th round stoppage. I mean he really busted Abraham up. But like I said it was just a dream.

That's the shit..I can only hope for this to happen..I got A Ward takin the tourney so I'm goin against Abraham(his biggest comp. in my opinion)..I think people need to use the half hook/half uppercut on Abraham when he is in his defensive shell..I see that punching being there all night unless he adjusted..

I'm really anxious to see Froch vs. Ward. I swear thats going to be a good fight. Froch always come to fight no matter how much you hate him. He'll be there til that last bell with constant pressure. I really want to see how Ward does with that or will he make him look like another Kessler. I got my money on Ward for this whole tournament though cause I think he can avoid getting hurt against Green and Abraham.

Ward will have no problem with Froch.

Ward and Froch will only fight I believe in the semis or finals. Ward fights Dirrell after Green doesn't he?

Yep.

After this round it is:

Froch - Abraham
Ward - Dirrell
Kessler - Green

Froch-Abraham will be the FOTY and probably the best fight of the tournament!

I don't see that fight lasting long...

I think it will be an explosive 4 or 5 rounds with Froch left drooling on the mat!

That's about right.

Abraham will seriously KO Froch. I've seen him down and hurt before. That fight wont go 6 rounds. Hell thats PPV worthy.
