Abraham - Justified DQ?

[Mar]

It was the wrong decision and margarito was ripped off when they made him take the plaster out of his gloves too. Geeeezusss. Everyone should be pissed and what abraham did. Not only did he cheat he ripped us off of the end of a pretty decent fight. If he didn't throw the punch direll couldn't have acted or done any of what he being accused of. Abraham opened the door to allow direll to do whatever he wanted to do and act however he wanted to act. The fight was over soon as that illegal punk punch was thrown. What happened after that doesn't matter. But what happend before that does, and he stomping abrahams ass for every round before hand. People focus and anger is directed at the wrong guy

[Kirkland Laing]

Abraham should have got the KO. Dirrel was getting worn down and went down like Bambi on ice. And then instead of defending himself at all times he looked away. It's like he was asking to get knocked out. I think he knew what was coming and just wanted to get it over with.

Forum stupidity has risen to unacceptable levels. Good on you for leading the charge Game, always knew you had it in you .

Yeah, it is the usual suspects talking complete shit. It's amazing the number of keyboard warriors calling Dirrell a pussy, when they wouldn't last a minute in the ring with his grandad, let alone him.

Oh & if Dirrell was acting, he must Robert DeNiro's son because he's phenomenal. I mean seriously anyone who thinks he was acting is just out to lunch as far as I'm concerned or they're still too caught up in trying to find a victory for their man.

I've yet to see any of the idiots give one single logical reason why Dirrell would feign a seizure and delusion to get out of a fight he was clearly winning. All of a sudden all these morons are experts on head injuries too .

exactly, the way he made his eyes roll back were 2 thumbs up, it's ridiculous how far some people will go to try and make their fighter the victim, Abraham fucked up, badly

One thing I'm convinced this shows up is people who've never boxed or seen someone KO'd. It's very rarely an instant reaction. I mean for fuck's sake, when Abraham KO'd Taylor, JT looked like he was conscious & still trying to get up. If Dirrell was acting, he doesn't need to be boxing anymore because he can make $25m a role as a Hollywood superstar.

[Cortez The Killer]

It was a justified DQ...there wasn't really anything else that could have been done once Dirrell didnt get up.


I dont think Abraham deserves so much criticism for the foul. He was chasing dirrell down and it was in the heat of the moment, a split-second decision. But I havent seen the post fight interviews

Give over mate. You don't need to be an expert in anything to see when somebody is trying it on. It was embarrassing, it wasn't even good acting. He'd been knocked down in the previous round, Abraham was putting it on him, and he took the easy way out imo.

Fair do's when someone does KO you, but i've never ever seen a fighter acknowledge the punch with a WTF stare, grimace like it hurt him, and then flop to the canvas, roll outside the ring and then back in it. It would have been semi believable if he'd have let the Dr look into his eyes, and he'd have convinced more people afterwards if he didn't pull out the 'i don't know where i am' card. What's worse is how the broadcast team lapped it all up, and it was even more painful to see them grabbing an interview with the Dr, in the middle of him being concerned about his brain bleeding.

You and others are of course entitled to your opinion, but in my honest opinion, Boxing turned into the WWE last night and that's not a good road to go down.

Simple, he'd been put on his arse the round before (10th) and was lucky to get away with it. Abraham was pressuring him. It was actually a punch that caused the slip. Abraham had a brilliant KO win in the 12 in his last fight, and Abraham gave Dirrell the option to take the easy way out.

I think he's a shithouse for doing so. Don't get me wrong, it would have been a tempting offer and once he started rolling around he had to continue going on with it. Split second decision. If you watch you can actually see the second where he thinks about it.

All this talk about calling people Keyboard Warriors is irrelevant. None of us are walking round claiming to be the best fighter in the world.

1 - Dirrell got up from that knock down with very little trouble at all

2 - It was not a punch that caused the slip. He dodged that punch and slipped. Look at the slow motion replay.

3 - No one has to claim to be the best fighter in the world. Instead what you are doing is claiming that you know more about what a man can do after taking a clean hit, and no one doing all the talking has any personal experience, or expertiese to go on.

[thewhale]

The DQ is fine, but I also think that Dirrel played the game, but Abraham gave him the change to do so.

Apart from that I think they should get neutral ring ref. before they fuck up the whole concept, if it not to late...

The super six is turning into a farce, who would have expected that

I also hope that Kessler dont get a German or Danisk judge in Denmark the 24. april....

1 only emphasises my point. The shot that put him on his arse in the 10th was harder than the shot that supposedly almost killed him. 2, again is what i was trying to say. The pressure Dirrell was under caused him to slip - i should have been clearer

3 - You don't have to be an expert.

He was hit

He looked up at Abraham

He paused

He touched his face

He grimaced like he was in pain

He then theatrically flopped

He proceeded to roll in and out of the ring

He began shaking his leg

He came round a minute or so later

Wouldn't let the Dr look into his eyes

He claimed he'd been ko'd whilst he was down which is odd that he had perfect recollection of what happened considering he was convulsing. In fact, that's very odd. Dirrell appeared to be laying it all on a little too thick. He was also quite vocal which is odd behaviour to show after being knocked out cold.

He then proceeded to become very annoyed by somebody claiming he faked injury, which again, given he had 'suspected' brain bleeding is odd.

The broadcast team managed to grab an interview with the Dr who was supposed to be looking after Andre, which was strange

All tests came back negative. No concussion, no nothing. Which again was odd considering he was out cold convulsing...supposedly.

So no, i don't think i have to be neurologist to make my mind up about what happened.

Very well. Let's say (hypothetically) that you are right, and he acted.
What would you recommend he -should- have done?

May I take a guess in that your answer would be "Get up and continue to fight?"

If that is the case, you and I both know that there is only one likely ending for such a scenario, and that is, Abraham finally getting through with a punch and landing a KO.

Such a scenario -could have- played out even without the hit which resulted in the DQ -however- that hit would have pretty much ended any further useful participation in the fight by Dirrell.

See what Im saying? Especially because of that hit, the end result of the fight would have tipped heavily into Abraham's favor. And that is just wrong.

The DQ was a waaay more acceptable option than getting Dirrell to continue the fight only to be 70% and get KOd.
