Youre missing the point, Dirrell didn't make AA hit him while he was down. Even if he got up the fight would or could have been called anyhow. The foul is why he was DQ'd not because dirrell was "acting"...
it's an illegal punch and dq was the proper decision. no question about that. in the heat of the fight and the growing objective of abraham to ko dirrel, that illegal punch could be intentional or not intentional.

dirrell found a way to eliminate the possibility of him being ko'ed in the last remaining 5 minutes of the fight. why risk further when you can already secure a "sure win by dq" by not standing up. if he stood up and brush the punch as if nothing happens, there's a possibility that abraham is just penalized with points deduction.
