/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A Super Six doubleheader is possibly in the works
for March 6. German television network ARD is holding the date of
March 6 for Arthur Abraham's bout with Andre Dirrell. Abraham is
returning from a twelfth round knockout of Jermain Taylor. Dirrell
lost a close decision to WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch.
Abraham-Dirrell was being eyed for January 23 at New York's WaMu
Theater in Madison Square Garden but the date was taken by Top Rank
for the Juan-Luevano, Gamboa-Mtagwa HBO doubleheader. Abraham-Dirrell
could head to a venue in California or Florida.
Speaking of Froch, his title defense against Mikkel Kessler, if he
manages to heal in time, could land on the same March date. Last month
Kessler suffered a one-sided decision loss to Andre Ward. During the
action there were multiple head clashes that opened up a few bad cuts
on Kessler's face. That fight would take place in Kessler's backyard
of Denmark, BoxingScene.com reported.
