Abraham-Dirrell in Detroit

SHOWTIME’s Super Six super middleweight tournament clash between King Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KOs) and Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KOs) has landed in Detroit. The bout, originally slated for March 6 in Rancho Mirage, California, will instead take place March 27 at the Joe Louis Arena. Dirrell will definitely have the home advantage as he hails from nearby Flint, Michigan. The Armenia-born German Abraham, would have been the likely fan favorite in Southern California with the support of the large Armenian population there.
