And he got up ready to go, do you think the fight would have continued?
I do. I think a large part of the reason he was DQ'd is because he knocked Dirrell out, this kind of shit happens a lot and not every time is someone DQ'd.
Yes, i have no doubt it would have continued. However if Dirrell ended up getting knocked out or TKO then you probably see plenty of complains and how AA cheated etc so whatever i guess Dirrell preferred to milk it and get the win, then again i dont blame the guy.
It happened in the Jones/Griffin fight also. If Dirrell would had got up with shaky legs and allowed to fight to get KOed it would had brought another set of criticism
He would have rightfully complained about it, but the fight would have continued and the hurt Dirrell would have had to go into survival mode for the rest of that round.
I really do think the final two rounds would have ended up looking something like the finale of Bute/Andrade I.
Yes, most likely. This has happened in fights in the past and when the fighter gets back up, it allows the ref to keep the fight going. It's when the fighter is down and out or seriously hurt where 5 minutes wouldn't be long enough, it is out of the ref's hands so....DQ.
Yea I think Dirrell just would have been on his bike like he was doing in the 11th, it would have gone on for sure had Dirrell been ok.
He got put to sleep so the fight could obviously not go on, since it was a foul that ended it no other way to go (IMO). If he could have gone on I am pretty sure he would have because he had done really well in the fight and he probably wanted to win on his feet and celebrate instead of going to the hospital.
oh yea maybe a point deducted. But dirrell bitched out :439: and found the easy way out. It would have been fun watching Abe go crazy in there. Anyway the right man still won so whatever.

Yeah but AA wouldve been deducted like 2 points.
And Dirrell would have gotten 5 minutes to recover.
