It's clear as day, when the ref gets forced into continuing the fight by orders of Wilfred Sauerland (the corupt German Promoter), he turns to Abraham and cleary says "We're gonna fight, are you able to fight?" and Abraham shakes his head and says "NO". He even moves away from the ref as if to say, dont ask me again!

So the guy can talk all the shit he wants and look like some bloody hero that fought to the death, but the truth is he was a slave to his promoter and corner and just survived a brutal beating until the final bell. His people had no value of life, threw him in the ring like an animal. If this was in America you bet your ass people would be screaming lawsuit!
