Does anyone know if this has been officially announced? I was thinking about going to it. I can't find any tickets. It's still over two months away so I am thinking it's not finalized.

I love Dirrell's game, but I am not sure he is experienced enough to beat Abraham. I still don't get what the big deal with Abraham is.
The fact that Dirrell is a South Paw is going to help him a lot. I think that to beat Abraham, you have to jab him to the body. After the jab, you have to come in with a right to the body also. Once you get that going for about three rounds, he'll be more open upstairs. Once this happens, a fighter with Dirrell's quickness should have no problem tagging him.

If Dirrell can react effectively to Abraham's explosive type speed, Andre will have his way with him. I don't think Abraham has the accuracy and power to get Dirrell out of there.
Remember, even though he got Taylor out of there he only really had him hurt super late in the fight and basically got lucky with :05 left on the clock. If Abe got him out of there in 6-8 rounds I might have a different pov on the matter.
Not saying Abe doesn't have a chance...he does, but Direll is looking for redemption and showed us he's pretty tough from the Froch fiasco. Plus the fight is on US soil..those controlling the marionettes here might be sweet on a little bit of revenge as well.
