still a big fan of arthur abraham

dirrell looked close to gone during the late rounds and he was catching everything that abraham threw at him no wonder why he didn't notice what had happened in the fight yes I think dirrell was gased out and aa was gonna take him out...just took him out the wrong way lol....

My opinion of Abraham has remained the same, really. His biggest flaw is his overconfidence in his punching power. Normally that's not so big a deal, but when your work ethic stretches the definition of "patient" to breaking point it is. And when you carry that work ethic onto your opponent's turf it suddenly becomes a millstone around your neck. Abraham blew any chance of the fight by letting Dirrell outwork him. Watching the way AA moved around the ring waiting, waiting and waiting to land the big bomb you'd swear he began the fight with a six point advantage. I don't subscribe to the idea that when you're on the road you need to knock your opponent out. That's not being fair to the judging panel. But you MUST give the judges something which you will be remembered for during each round. If you don't you only have yourself to blame. AA should have taken the fight to Dirrell from the first bell. Yes, it's not easy against such a slippery customer. But if you've done your homework on your opponent and you throw enough leather (without burning yourself out) chances are the judges will notice you. Instead AA allowed Dirrell to win rounds easily with one or two decent shots. That's suicide and Abraham paid the price. In Abraham's defence, I don't think he genuinely meant to pole-axe Dirrell whilst on the floor. I think it was more of a reaction shot. The DQ was right. But I don't think AA deserves to be further punished. I've seen a few of his fights he's not a filthy fighter.

Ha, ha . Low blows. AA is notorious for always complaining every time he gets hit with clean BODY SHOTS. He gets away with that oversees, but not here because we call that good body work. It's his weak spot and Direll exploited it all night. And as far as the knockdown, what about the second knockdown that Direll scored on AA and the ref let it go? What about the doctor working on AA's cut for a good 45 seconds? WTF was that about? I think that more then evens it out. Brought with the fact that Direll dominated almost every minute of every round. You pinned it down but blind follows the blind I guess. And I'm saying this as an European. Everytime Abraham gets hit by a perfect body shot he throws his arms down a looks over to the ref to say it's low....wait...let me think...who else has done that against solid body punchers....oh yeah, Ottke. He just got away with it.

wrong, they risk there life for the millions kid. LOL u think they risk there life for the fans? get real kid. What about the start of his career was he getting millions then kid.

I like Abraham, he cost himself this fight though. He had a good chance of stopping Dirrell in the later rounds, but he instead opted to fight dirty and hit Dirrell hard while he was down. I personally think Dirrell would of survived to win a decision, Abraham upped the workrate to late imo.

dirrell was scared shitless, lil pussy crawled into a corner and took a kneww and abraham did the same thing cotto did against marg when marg hit cotto when cotto took his first knee except cotto was actually hurt, this lil bitch dirrell was just a pussy and went down. Dude is garbage. i think you should kill yourself

i have yet to see the fight but people here calling dirrell a bitche are ye ****in serious ye get to watch behind a computer while these guys risk their lifes for your entertainment and ye are calling them pussies.right

damn what a fight. aa made a little mistake, but hey whats with dirrell. i mean the whole low blows and the acting. damn. the knock down from dirrell was the same as the knock down of aa. just punched at the chin and fall out of the balance. but the referee has give aa starting the count and dirrell not. what do you think about that? im just curious... you have 1.5 mill in bets on AA but only 100k+ in your account :thinking:

i am so sorry for arthur abraham

yep these are also my views. just want a objective thread about it. now i am reading that dirrell didnt want the dope test afterwards. i want a repeat of the fight.

Dirrell didn't knock down Abraham, he pushed him and hit him on the way down. AA wasn't rocked at all during the fight, he had a couple of cuts but was moving in strong for the kill towards the end. Yep, which is what I had thought about the fight really... We would see Dirrell clearly outboxing him towards the late rounds, but once we came to 11th and 12th round.. We'd see AA going determined for the KO.. Which happened, just not in the it was supposed to happen..
