Abraham - Dirrell fight thread

[Benserker]

The only reasonable decision would've been a technical draw/no decision. Dirrell absolutely faked it, but the that punch was still very stupid by AA. On the other hand, Dirrell headbutted AA and there were multiple low blows, even if biased people won't admit it.

To me it seemed like the ref protected Dirrell. After a low blow he said to him "Don't worry about it". And after Dirrell got knocked down, which was miraculously not counted as a KD, the ref suddenly felt like taking care of AA's cut.

There should be a rule against having a ref from the same country as one of the fighters, same with the judges.

Consider that I'm not biased either way, I like both fighters and I'm neither American nor German/Armenian.

the ref said 'dont wory about it' to abraham, he was telling him to stop complaining and defend himself


plus the ref didnt even know dirrels name, he kept calling him anthony

He looked at Dirrell when he said "Don't worry about it", if I remember correctly. All AA did to "complain" was tap his hip. Dirrell could've been respectful and apologize, but no, once he used this moment to punch AA.

Lets see if Carl Froch can avoid getting knocked cold by Arthur like Taylor and Direll have been.

Taylor got knocked out

abraham knocking out froch is surely going to be the highlight of the tournament

Was Direll out cold tonight? Acting or not he was laid out. Taylor was out aswel. Maybe Froch will be the 3rd guy to taste the power.

Laid out by a punch that didnt count.... therefore rendering the whole comparison as just wrong.

The fact is everyone Arthur has faced in super 6 so far has ended up knocked out cold.

I expect him to get the hat trick against Froch, he won't be nearly as hard to hit as Dirrell was. You've got to hand it to Abraham and his power punches though, to see it once against Taylor is impressive but it's rare you see somebody win two fights in a row with stunning one punch knockouts.

[Hunter]

Abraham is the one to blame for the way the fight ended whether you think Dirrell was going to win or Abraham on TKO....

You just cant hit someone when they are down, its not like Art hit Andre when he just went down, say on the end of a combination, there were a few seconds that went by where Arthur was just standing above Dirrell and than he just threw a punch out of no where.

Just a crappy way for a good fight to end for both guys....and us fans as well....

If Dirrell wouldn't have acted AA might have indeed gotten away with only a point deduction,but if you make an intentional foul you have to reckon with being disqualified...anyway I think AA was getting to Dirrell and may have been able to force the knock out and Dirrell was feeling it too and thats why he did what he did...
