What are the grounds for DQ?

Fact is Arthur werent DQ'd until Andre fell to floor and rolled under rope had he remained on one knee i think ref would have given him a rest period and deducted a point from Arthur. One thing is for sure i don't envy the fighter that fights him next because he either sprints for 12 rounds or pulls out a acting masterclass a warrior he will never be i never really question a fighters heart but Andre Dirrell has a massive question mark over his for me.

Well as long as Abraham comes out smelling like roses it's ok. Give him a pass for the illegal blow that's fine.

Im not saying that and overall i want Carl Froch to win i just don't like Dirrell at all but thats my opinion and everyone is entitled to there own.

I'd like to make it clear, I believe Arthur being DQ'd was the correct and only possible decision. Whether or not Dirrell was acting, if a fighter is laying flat on his back unresponsive the fight is over. In that situation the ref has no choice other than DQ the fighter that committed the foul.

The fact remains though, fighters get hit when down ALL the time. The ONLY reason Abraham was DQ'd is because Dirrell didn't get back up (as history shows). Making Abraham out to be some cheating monster is ridiculous.

This post above almost perfectly reflects my thoughts. Thanks Fenster.
