Abraham - Dirrell fight thread

[Gandalf]

I've had time to digest everything, and yeah, Abraham screwed up big time by hitting a man on the floor. You just don't do that. He was desperate and lost control and thus paid the penalty. I like to mock Dirrell, but he obviously got hit in a nasty place and wasn't all there. I hope he recovers well.

I think in a rematch Abraham starts a little quicker and gets to Dirrell sooner, but that is neither here nor there. Dirrell has the win and the tournament tightens up some more. You have to give credit to Dirrell for sticking with the gameplan for 8 rounds, but I really sensed him wilting down the stretch. It's just frustrating to have a fight end in such a way. Not good.

Dirrell is a shithouse.

He did hit him on the floor. It was a solid-ish shot, no different from what Dirrell had absorbed throughout the fight.

He looked at Abraham to say 'wtf' then dramatically fell to the floor. How anyone can defend what he's done is beyond me.

I'm not buying all the 'he was delusional after the fight' shite aswell. 100% play acting.

Yeah Im relieved this morning that I havent woken up to the news that Direll has suffered overnight and his condition got worse. I still think he was acting though because everyone kept telling him he won but he didnt listen. It was as if he was overacting and thought he had to stick with it. Silly moves like Abs but he probably though Direll would get on with it like other fighters do when they are hit when they are down.

Jones - Griffin is the only other example I can think of where the winner saw an opportunity to end another guys unbeaten run with a DQ win. We know what happend in that return.

Every case is unique. And again, it is not Dirrell's fault Abraham got DQ'd. That is Abraham's fault. The DQ was justified. If you want to argue about how hard Dirrell was actually hit and if he was faking or not, you should try taking that shot from Abaham after almost 11 rounds of boxing, and see how much better you would do.

I think you just just hate Dirrell and would be making negative posts about him even if Dirrell had ended up winning on points (which as we all saw was a very likely outcome). Then you would say "Oh, he ran too much. He should have stood his ground more so Abraham could KO him."

Easy for you to label anyone who disagrees with you as a hater but my opinion was that he was acting. He didnt want the doc to look into his eyes and he said he didnt take the cowards way out and thats what started him crying. Someone must have called him a coward ringside so he got upset and stuck with it.

Fine, if you think he was acting but that doesnt change the fact a fighter cannot hit another fighter who fell down. And the shot was a good one.

Facts:

Dirrell was hit with a good shot while down
This action could -only- help Dirrell to lose

Man, acting or not, he was totally at a disadvantage after that. He would have gone on just to get KOd. To me this is an aobvious one. The illeagal hit simply changed the game too much for the fight to have gone on fairly.

And that is what Im trying to convey here. Surely you must understand this.
You obviously wanted to see him get up and fight, but that outcome would have been 100% bad for Dirrell although perhaps entertaining for you.

Yeah I wanted to see him get up and fight on like Haye and Marquez did after they were hit when they were down. Direl had it in him to act so he had it in him to go on. Griffin is the only other guy who took the cowards way out and the general feeling was that he was acting aswel.

You're reaching, extremely to try to keep the belief that he was faking.

Most people seem to think he was faking it. If you fall for that acting then youd fall for anything. That was poor.

[Mad_Dog]

a shiot...ok..forget the so called acting, forget the dq, AA was exposed. He has no skill, either offensively or defensively. He has no movement but coming forward. No head movement. This was bound to happen, the fact that he got spanked and was about to lose. This will happen again, he will get spanked. He is now exposed.

[Rantcatrat]

Abraham is a professional, but last night he erred by hitting Dirrell when Dirrell was down regardless of if Dirrell acted at all (and I don't think he did). And it is fair it caused him to lose the fight. At the same time, Abraham remains a favorite against Froch in the next round if not in the tournament as a whole.

[No Contest]

For a split second I was think oh shit, Gerald McClellan all over again. People should not be quetioning Dirrells heart. Its disgraceful that some people are so biased they can overlook a foul like that.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

If only Frank Bruno did his Pantomime IN the ring, he might of not of needed to do it OUT of the ring

But seriously, it was a horrible foul. I never noticed but AA did he's fair share of lying also. He acted like ''this is normal for me'' and I actually believed him at first... but in the replay 3 seconds after he hit Dirrell he had his hands up already pleading his innocence like. Guilty as sin.
