Andre Dirrell....

[Kel]

Who cares what direll did after the fight. In it he beat a guy who everyone damn near laughed at when the idea of him winning was even brought up . And as soon as abraham threw that punch the fight was over anyway. Direll could have done it wwe style and cut himself for fake blood and the whole nine. Boxrec doesn't care about any of that. And nobody else should either. I've said it before all this suspision and anger should be targeted toward abraham for robbing us of the end of that fight. Win or loose to hit a guy who was down then (speaking of acting) turning off your english after showtime showed you using all over town was a serious bitch move..... Abraham is a great tough fighter, and will probably win his next fight. But for that night he was a real dissapointment.

You talk such fucking crap it's unreal.

how biased you are is unreal

Yeah - I mean why would Dirrell want to continue, Andre floored Arthur for the first time in his career and was giving the King a beat down for the ages and was on his way to an easy points decision or stoppage...but hey, why not take a disqualification......

[Majesty]

Fans of Abraham will say that because they want a way to say that Abraham would have stopped Dirrell sooner or later so that their prediction would have been right so that he needed a bailout.

I struggle to believe that it was fake. I mean, why would anyone want to look like such an idiot live on television? I was in hysterics watching it and even now seeing it on You Tube, it cracks me up. I don't think he was acting, it was just a delayed reaction. I do believe that Dirrell was wilting though and getting very tired. Every punch would have been getting harder from then until the end because he was physically done. Abraham did get the knockdown and Dirrell was turning to jelly. I'm convinced that Abraham knocks him out properly next time.

Abraham knocks him out properly next time.

I agree, they could meet in the semi's and my money's on Abraham. I'm of the opinion he was acting though, for me there was no real power or weight behind the shot and Dirrell took his chance to get a breather..

Everyone goes on and on about how bad it was that Abraham hit him whilst down but this happens all the time in boxing. If Dirrell hadn't reacted the way he did I doubt AA even gets deducted a point.

Take Berto Vs Rodriguez for example, two possible rabbit punches followed by a definite punch whilst down and the commentators don't even mention it. No complaints from Rodriguez so no DQ or penalty for Berto...

The punch while down was neither as clean or has hard as the one that took place in the Dirrell fight. Also there was almost no pause between the hits in the video here so it looks way less intentional as the one Abraham fired off.

Honestly I think everyone who wants to complain about Dirrell's acting is just biased. You all are 100% ready to excuse Abraham but at the same time blame Dirrell. It is nonsense. It is apparent that you were hoping to see Dirrell lose because: A) you dont like him, or B) you like Abraham, or C) both reasons. But it didn't happen so now it's time to complain. That's what is really going on here, but no one will admit it. You guys are also not very good actors.

I have absolutely no affiliation to either fighter and can honestly say wasn't bothered who won. I'm British and have no preference when watching a German and American fight. This whole 'European' thing is strange to me, just bacuase I'm from the same continent as Abraham doesn't mean I support him.

Either way, does anybody honestly believe Abraham gets DQ'd if Dirrell reacts in the same way Rodrigeuz did in the video I posted? i.e does nothing? And the pause you talk about in the Dirrell fight is exagerrated in slo mo, in real time it's not half as bad...

IMO he gets outboxed even worse then the first time, and if he's too aggressive and desperate he gets KO'd, Dirrell already showed that he had enough power to hurt Abraham, especially in the early rounds

[BoxingGorilla]

Honestly, when Dirrell started that epileptic/conniption fit I thought of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Maybe I watched too many scary movies, but I did not expect Andre Dirrell to live.

I just rewatched the end and it seemed a lot less fake this time. LOL
