*UPDATE DIRRELL INJURED DATE PUSHED OUT TO MARCH 27 2010*
Stage group 2 of the Super Six classic brought to you by http://leave-it-in-the-ring.com/
In the first bouts of the Super Six tournament, we saw a couple of impressive wins with talented American Andre Ward easily outclassing World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler in an 11 round technical decision, and former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham stopping Jermain Taylor in the 12th round in their fight in Germany.
However, we also saw some ugliness, with WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch defeating Andre Dirrell by a controversial 12 round split decision on October 17th, in Frochs home city of Nottingham, England. Hopefully, the remainder of the Super Six tournament is free from any more controversial bouts like this.
Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham Dirrell (18-1, 13 KOs) fought with a great deal of heart and determination in his fight with Froch, showing boxing skills that I hadnt seen since Sugar Ray Robinson was in his prime. Dirrell rarely was hit during the fight, and showed incredible hand speed second to none in the division. However, it looks as if the judges were looking for Dirrell to slug more and box less. This is something that Dirrell will need to be mindful of against Abraham, because using his incredible boxing skills and not getting hit by Abraham might not be enough to get the win. Dirrell will need to open up more with his offense, take more chances and use his quick reflexes to get out of the way of Abrahams slow ponderous combinations. Dirrell is a lot quicker than the slow moving Abraham, and I can see this fight being one-sided from start to finish. Abraham doesnt throw many punches until the last seconds of the round, because he likes to conserve his energy. This means that Dirrell will be able to work Abraham over for two and half minutes of every round with blistering combinations, and then focus on staying out of the way of Abraham as he comes charging forward with 30 seconds to go in the round. I dont know what Abrahams problem is with his stamina, but he just cant seem to fight hard for more than 30 seconds during any one given round. This is a problem that hes had for the past couple of years and it seems to have gotten steadily worse. Abraham didnt look good against Taylor, aside from the knockout, and had the same problems letting go of his punches as he did in his previous bouts.
The undercard includes Vic Darchinyan vs Rodrigo Guerrero.
Direlle is a puuuuuuuuuusssssssssyyyyyy. he punched arthurs balls for bout a good 4 times and the ref didnt do shitt, and AA punches his face he supposedly " went through a concussion" fuck that. direlle is a pussy
