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...
Let's get to the root of the situation here.

The question that is to be asked shouldnt really be "Was he acting?"
The question should be "Should the fight have continued after the illegal blow?"

Now look at the facts:

Dirrell was ahead on points and Abraham seemed to be coming on a bit stronger...

Could Dirrell have won? Possibly. Could Abraham have scored a late KO? Possibly. - But we will never know.

After Abraham scored an invalid shot on Dirrell (who is known not to have the toughest chin), had the fight gone on, it is very likely Abraham would have won because Dirrell would have been hurt and no longer "in the game" because of that blow.

Obviously Abraham should not be allowed to win a fight because of the advantage gained from that illegal blow. So, should the fight have been stooped? -YES- Was the fight stopped? -YES- At the time of stoppage, was Dirrell winning?" -YES-

What else do we need to talk about? The fight ended exactly as it should have given the circumstances. Now someone come and prove me wrong.
