Dirrell saw easy way out

Funny how some of the posters on here act like their experts on every aspect of boxing. Dirrell took a clean/flush shot on the chin from a hard puncher, why is it so hard to beleive that he may have been hurt? Dirrell seemed to handle Abraham for most of the fight, after the foul Dirrell would have been giving all the time he needed to recover and coast to a victory for the remaining 1 1/2 rounds. Why would Dirrell want to fake getting KO'd?

dirrell did not look refreshed in the 11th. moving around more doesnt mean youre refreshed, it means you're too tired to maintain your punch output so you rely on your legs. i'll say this though. if he got up from the foul and the ref for some reason allowed the fight to continue, dirrell WOULDVE been refreshed. he wouldve been given time to recover, got a few more pts in the bank from an abraham deduction and couldve subsequently won the fight on his bike. compared to round 10, yea he was doin much better, he was clearly winnin the round up until the slip

If AA-Froch is in Nottingham that'll be so cool. I believe that will be the case. Either Nottingham Arena or the Magnificent City Ground.

as for the OP. dirrell acted, but it was unnecessary. hitting a man while he is down is a dq'able offense and the ref did the right thing. all the acting after the foul was moot. incredibly pathetic and embarrassing, but moot.

dirrell seemed refresh in round 11 as oppossed to round 10 so no, abraham wasn't knocking out anyone on while that person had his legs under him that night dirrell did not look refreshed in the 11th. moving around more doesnt mean youre refreshed, it means you're too tired to maintain your punch output so you rely on your legs. i'll say this though. if he got up from the foul and the ref for some reason allowed the fight to continue, dirrell WOULDVE been refreshed. he wouldve been given time to recover, got a few more pts in the bank from an abraham deduction and couldve subsequently won the fight on his bike.

AA took the easy way out by trying to save face. I wonder if he would have done the same if he was up a bunch of rounds.

Dirrelloutboxed abraham all fight, abraham didnt know how to deal with dirrells speed and movement. Abraham just threw 'wild' punches and was no where near to landing any of them. HE got one decent punch in 10 rounds.

IMO Dirrell is very talented but this tournament has come a little too early in his career and he has been thrown in the deep end. He has not made a complete transition from an amateur style and has to resort to funny tactics to win which is what he tried to do in the Froch fight and is looking for weird ways to win fights rather than straight forward out boxing. When Abraham gave him the opportunity by that stupid punch Dirrell took his chance and that is totally in keeping with his pattern so far. Dirrell took the easy way out but Abraham knew what he was dealing with and should never have given him the chance.

Yeah I mentioned this in an unbiased thread I made that nobody read. Except everyone reads the flame wars and trolling posts. Go figure. I also agree that Dirrell need a quick exit route and AA provided him with one. Dirrell was eating some nasty shots late and looked like he was about to go. Seeing as how close the end of the fight was and Dirrell felt he had it in the bag, he just lied there and began with his bs shakings to dramatize it worse and get the fight immediately called off. I mean fuk, in less than 5 minutes time he was already up on a stool and talking. Do fighters who go down and convulse normally get up that fast and can walk out easily on their own legs? Not to mention the hospital reports came back finding nothing as further proof to the situation that Dirrell faked it. I'm American, but this was some pussy ass shit and I'd rather back AA in this case who just as he said, didn't care about losing early rounds because he was gonna knock him out late. Unfortunately he acted out of fusteration and hit the dude while he was down which is a big no no.

what are you talking about? It's is crazy you would say something like that, I was worried for his health out there. He slipped, and Abraham drilled him defenselessly. It was a correct DQ

Andre was ready for the taking, he was ready to be taken out by abraham imo. Arthur KOs Dirrell if he didnt foul Silly by Arthur but Dirrel was obviously faking.( although embarrasing, I dont blame him tbh ) Arthur has to travel to Nottingham for his next fight, if Froch boxes smart he can easily beat Arthur. Froch will hit him with some serious bodyshots eary on. dirrells a straight up pussy...
