Abraham - Dirrell fight thread

[ninjaspy3]

Let's agree on a couple of things
1) Abraham had to be D1'd for his offense
2) Cole is an absolutely attrocious official - missed 1 kd for Dirrell and 2 for Abraham, Tells Arthur I saw it about the low blows yet doesnt do anything, the cut was clearly caused by a headbutt where's video replay when you need it?
3) Dirrell put on a performance which would make Sandra Bullock blush with the "I got knocked out shananigans" (but in a way his crazy acting hurts him because he acted as if Abraham had legitimately KO'd him)
4) Can we do something about the RING PAINT I'm not at all condoning what Abraham did (refer to point #1) but Dirrell seemed to slip everytime Arthur went on the offensive

Now up for debate
I think Abraham would've finished him if it wasnt for the KD he was moving into the corners (as he was when the DQ happened) and had next to nothing left

We need to get the replay because I don't recall seeing a headbutt occur.

but I dirgress:

Why do people keep bringing up irrelevent points like the knockdowns and whether or not Dirrell was acting?

The DQ was deserved, acting or no -and- the knockdowns dont have much sway on the end result of that fight.... that is unless there was a 3 knockdown rule in effect and I just missed that part.

@Sal the butcher
In my opinion the time where Dirrell slipped in the corner was a KD he was off balance and was hit by a shot whether it was the shot or his poor footwork that did the majority of the damage. Plus Direll seemed to be slipping everytime AA was on the offensice and as I said in the first point Abraham had to be Dq'd for his offence

If Dirrell didn't act as if it hurt him and just stood up, then there would've been no DQ. The ref let all the low blows slip, because they didn't really affect AA, so why not do the same with this, admittedly idiotic, punch.

edit:

Also, I can't stress enough that I am not really biased. In fact, I usually root _against_ the German fighters, because I have a lot of German friends and when one of their fighters wins, I never hear the end of it I thought Dirrell was ripped off in his last fight, so I kinda rooted for him a bit.

Stop this BS right now.

He took a very good shot while he was down. If he got right up, he would just be woozy and off balance and end up getting KOd for real. What is so hard to understand about this?

Ref could've given him a break, like he did when he attended AA's cut ...
If, like many people say, including me, Dirrell _did_ fake, then he wasn't really hurt, so there would've been no woozyness either.

edit: Anyways, Dirrell does deserve the win, he was the better fighter for 10 rounds, but I'm still upset over the outcome. I think AA will be a better boxer after this and if they'd have a second fight, he would knock Dirrell out.

Did you see the shot? (rhetorical question here)
It was a very good shot, which Im pretty sure totally took Dirrell out of any game plan he would have had left at that point. The only thing he could have done after getting back up, is very likely just get KOd.

Second rule in every forum is that replies that don't contribute _at all_ are still worse

Anyways, AA made a very bad decision by throwing that punch and the referee is an idiot.
