Abraham - Dirrell fight thread

[GAME]

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.

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.

[God.in.my.corner]

I'm surprised he didn't get stop by the cut. It was a nasty one. The doctor seemed like a Dirrell cutman, applying pressure and trying to stop the bleeding and all.

Considering it was probably a local Doc, I'm surprised it wasnt stopped then. Even though it was caused by a butt IMO.

There is nothing there that wasn't known...He is out boxed in most of the first part of fights? The only difference in this one was fact Dirrell was faster then he knew...Fastest opp he has faced.....So he could not really catch him...Not exposure old news my man.....


AA is more the lets fight type guy not box....

[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.

A few notes...

• If you wanna fall over like a little girl every time eventually that is going to happen
• The crowd was like it appeared the fight was being held in a county prison. Now i know how you americans fill when you watch a fight in britain with 18,000 pissed up englishman
• What hell was it with showtime constantly displaying the union jack next to the US flag, our boy already whooped dirrell once he dont need to do it again

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I suppose Dirrell WAS on a bit of a slippery slope.... He started of brilliantly but after round 6 the 'excessive' lateral movement started... Then a few rounds later it was the holding... Then the falling over and I was beginning to think ''Oh here we go again'' but in all fairness, the slip was just a slip and so AA has to be held accountable for what happened next.

No doubt though that Dirrell was looking a lot like Nate ''I can't see'' Campbell soon after...
