Abraham - Justified DQ?

[arcanum26]

Hi All,

I have to admit that I haven't seen the fight. That said, I'm wondering if Cole was justified in calling this a DQ. If, in fact, it was a justifiable DQ, what the hell did Abraham do to get DQ'd?

Absolutely puzzling from what I've read so far. Very curious to read to some unbiased opinions from members in the know.

Thanks in advance

Forget about Cole. His best judgement wouldn't even be quick enough to stop AA IF he wanted to punch dirrell a second or third time when dirrell is down. Not that I'm saying AA would do that. Just that I've long been doubting Cole's ability to be a boxing ref.

He was justified in calling a DQ (after like a whole minute has gone by). Abraham punched dirrell while he was down on his knees from a slip. It was clearly an illegal punch. AA could argue how dirrell is the best actor in the place tonight but it was clearly an illegal punch that deserves a DQ.

I'm a fan of AA. I even jumped off my seat when I thought he landed a clean punch that landed dirrell on the canvass. So I am a bit biased. But I would be the first to admit he deserved that DQ loss.

Edit: Btw, can you add an option where it says "It was justified - Cole is a moron." I'd definitely vote for that.
