Dirrell/Abraham, a thought or two.

[Althugz]

Just to add to this, I think the people who are also claiming that Direll was fading are reaching a little bit - I didn't see any evidence of this.

Sure Arthur was coming out of his shell more because he realised he was losing (and should have had that knockdown scored) but Direll still had his legs and was mobile all the way up until that slip.

Arthur suddenly changes his style and comes out his shell so that means Direll is fading? It doesn't work like that...all it means is that Arthur knew he was losing the fight and up'd his work rate. That has no bearing on Dirells fitness.

It's a shame how this fight ended.

exactly, Abraham realized that he had to try and stop Dirrell cause there was no way in hell that he was gonna win a decision after being dominated the way he was, even with the KD he was WAY behind on points, Dirrell could have just stayed away and would have gotten the UD, but well then the slip happened and desperation took over Abraham causing him to throw a dirty shot and earning himself a DQ, no excuses he fucked up
