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.
