This fight went just like I thought it would (minus the off balanced KD). Abraham had Knock down Dirrell (Cole is a idiot) and had him hurt. He landed two huge punches the later occurring around the 25sec mark.
AA was catching up to Dirrell and it was only a matter of time b4 he landed something flush and KO'd him. I don't think he intentionally hit him when he was down, but IMO just let him aggressiveness get the best of him. That punch showed what Abraham was about to do, and it was only a matter of time before the comeback KO was gonna happen.
we cant say that cause we'll never kno now ... its possible cause dre was getting broken down. but he still was absorbign the punches ok and a scenerio of him playing keep away and surviving is just as plausible to me as him being stopped.
either way he was winning by a landslide on the cards at the point of the dq. at this point that matters to me more cause thats an actual fact not something thats being assumed upon

Can I have my points please.
I am down 300k on the Funeka fight so I need it :p
It looks like Dirrell whooped Abraham's ass. Dirrell won fair and square. AA was coming strong in the late rounds, but I thought that it would be very unlikely for him to KO Dirrell in the remaining round and a half.
I hope Dirrell recovers quickly! Good health to him.
Good lesson in boxing to AA -- the "Clottey" style needs work.
AA did not lose this game. At least he is still a man. Direll needs to man up and stop acting and "slipping" what an idiot. He lost the respect of soo many fans today.
Nice job in buying the referee out....
Maybe Abraham needs to "man up" and stop crying every time he takes a body punch.

what are you talking about AA was the better acting complaining about every damn body shot. He got enough breaks tonight and in Germany against Taylor. Even cost Taylor a point but you seem to be okay with that. Abraham got hit and complained got a break and instantly comes back swinging thinking he could catch Dirrell slipping. If this fight were in Germany Dirrell would have been disqualified with all the complaining Abraman was doing...
I believe it was anyone's fight at that moment. Dirrell was clearly hurt in the prior round and Abraham seemed to be coming on strong . On the other hand, let's not forget that Andre was busting AA up the whole fight and couldn't have continued to do so until the final bell...

completely agree. i felt the knockout punch coming, it was just unfortunate that dirrell was on the ground when it happened. abraham hurt dirrell with that "slip" knockdown. dirrell felt that punch and started to back pedal on his bike. he knew a real KO was coming.
props to dirrell though. he boxed great tonight. better and much more entertaining than i expected from him.
I honestly thought AA was gonna KO Dirrell in the 12th round. Dirrell in the 11th round looked very tired but frustration (getting outboxed & losing by points) led to impatience for AA. When Dirrell slipped in the 11th round, AA's was thinking, "I'm not gonna let this fool kill time, better KO him now." Bad idea.
Yeah he was, After he hit him, He was like oh sh#t I did it why did I do that damn it. AA was just as confused he took a lot of hard shots that fight even his post interview was weird. I still like AA though he just made a mistake just a bad night at the office he will be back
That's fair, I havent been shocked at a shot like that since Roy Jones hit Montell, man if this was MMA there would not have been a problem at all with the illegal shot but this is Boxing.
Dude what I don't understand is why would you automatically jump me as being an "uncle tom" just because I like Abraham? Not only that, you then reply to my post trying to be cool. I mean some of you guys are ridiculous, and Im trying my best not to flame and start stuff, but I never disrespect anyone like that on these forum. This is boxing talk, not race related thread, so lets keep it that way.

There was 1 Rd left he wasnt catching up to anything, he had a good 10th and sub-par 11th and couldnt stay focused.. Direll was dominating the fight and was to elusive to get hit by anything flush!

Same here.
Don't get it twisted, Dirrell did his thing tonight, and fought a great fight. I just think if AA didn't make that stupid decision to hit him when he was down, Abe could have knocked him out.
Your right but Dirrell could have caught Abraham as well or skaked to victory and that's the beauty of an opinion we all have one.

Dirrell himself said he knew exactly how to win, he had to keep throwing punches AA might have been able to close the deal at the end but now we won't know. Unfortunate circumstances, nonetheless this tournament has really been fantastic.
Just so peeps know where I stand on Dirrell and the KO....I felt AA should have been DQ'd and Dirrell was seriously hurt and wasn't faking. I have seen that delayed reaction several times before and you can tell he didn't have his equilibrium.
That's fair, I havent been shocked at a shot like that since Roy Jones hit Montell, man if this was MMA there would not have been a problem at all with the illegal shot but this is Boxing.
Are you kidding?
Dirrell could have run a track for 4 mins and still been 4 points a head.
Abraham was just swinging man. It was a good KD by Abraham but let's not forget Dirrell had a KD discounted as well.
Exactly he had 4 mins to run. I wasn't that out of gas to avoid AA wreckless punches. You can tell he was getting extremely frustrated
man that basement gym is the truth thats all you need and everybody needs to face it, it was a good fight and AA messed up but is ok he still has a chance to win the tournament
Thanks Homie!!!!!
