what i see when i look at that clip is a fighter who gets hit by a cheap shot thrown by a guy with devastating power, after having slipped and half fallen to the ground. at first dirrell is shocked that he's been hit and looks up at abraham while rolling back on the ropes. then i see him realise that he was just deliberately fouled, and knowing that he was running out of gas from running the last few rounds all the while getting hit with greater frequency by a fighter that was getting stronger and swinging wilder and hitting harder out of desperation. so he decided to act all hurt and unable to fight knowing that he would at least get sympathy in the loss, or a win via DQ. which is what he got. i'd also like to add that he probably wasn't really faking. he got smashed by that right hand and definately wasn't expecting it. it would have been suicide to get up and try to fight...so he lays down and holds his face cause it feels like it just got hit by a truck. thats normal. did he play it up? hell yeah...but i think you see, what transpires after this clip ends is that he's all confused and emotional and doesn't even understand what his corner are saying to him. he's all crying and shit, thinking he's lost. i don't think that was fake. i think he was concussed
and a concussion is not the same as being knocked out cold. nice video tho.
