Do you believe that dirrell was legitimately knocked out?

If not, do you think that was fair?
Only Direll knows that and it would be stupid of the ref to make a judgement call like that. Everybody had an opinion about Direll after the fight but nobody knew for sure so how can you not DQ Abraham? You call what you see..and it appeared Direll couldn't continue, end of. Anyway didnt that punch cause him to be out for over a year?
althugz just nailed it.. How can anybody say that dirrel should have been dq'd..

He may have exaggerated a bit but that's not even the issue cuz abraham commited a blatant foul either way.

I actually think dirrell was robbed of a career defining moment cuz it looked as though he was cruising his way to a wide decision victory..
