Andre Dirrell vs Arthur Abraham revisited

If he was faking, then he should have won at least a couple Academy Awards by now for how dazed he appeared in the minutes after the cheapshot, and for the amount of time he's been carrying on the charade. There was a bit of a delayed reaction, but that can happen. Especially since he was already on the ground and his center of gravity was pretty low. So he teetered for a moment as he was losing consciousness. Yeah I don't know that he faked it either. He was a complete mess, even when they got him back on his feet. Pretty much impossible to know for sure either way though.

is it me but everytime i see dirrell i see skils but most everything he throws alot arm punches and shoe shines shots like crazy.. not only this fight ...

Dirrell has a lot of talent but I just don't think he has it mentally.

I wonder if either Dirrell brother has watched the Dr Shaw Hi video...? Someone must have told them about it. The more I watch that fight the more convinced I am Dirrell wanted a way out. He took a dive then faked the leg twitching KO. It was pretty disgraceful and embarrassing but he should have owned up, apologised and got on with his career. At the time I was convinced he was the only one in the super six who could have given Ward a 50-50 fight. What a waste of skill.

I'm not sure he has one of those. Ouch man,that was

I kinda bought it at the time but all the stuff that happened after with Dr. Shaw High (LOL) made me realise it was bullsh1t. And now even watching it back, it's obvious that he blatantly faked it.

Abe hit him while he was down....if Dirrell did milk it, so what!!...if the foul didn't occur he would've had nothing to milk!!....Abe ain't the smartest fighter so he dumbed out and hit the dude with a cheap shot....disgraceful just like his brother kicking Miranda while he was still down after Abe iced him in their rematch....I guess that's how they roll!!

Is he in great shape??I have not heard anything about Dirrell for a min..If he still has it I hope we can see him again,boxing is not something you play..So if he is not 100%,I hope to never see him in a ring again..He could get seriously hurt if his heart is not into it.. I'm not sure he has one of those.

What stuck in my mind the most from this fight is how sh.itty and biased the ref (Laurence Cole) was. I'm not talking about the DQ, he had no choice but to DQ Abraham under the circumstances, but imo he kind of frustrated Abraham into committing that stupid foul. Whenever Abraham had Dirrell cornered or on the ropes, he found a reason to stop the action. The most blatant example was when he called time to examine an Abraham cut a second after Abraham landed a solid punch. And of course there was that uncalled KD, too. All this doesn't excuse Abraham, but it's worth pointing out imo.

Sheessh, Dirrell, this dude could of been a staple on HBO or Showtime, and he basically threw it all away for no reason. Even had al haymon as his manager. Maybe the biggest clown in boxing in the past 10 years.

Abraham was coming on strong at the end and dirrell was losing steam you can clearly see the momentum shifting towards abraham. Direll wanted out so he found a way out. I'm glad I dont have to watch direll anymore boring asss fighter.

1:18:25 is my fav part!

I follow him on instagram, he seems to be in training and great shape but we all know he ruined his career going with 50 Is he in great shape??I have not heard anything about Dirrell for a min..If he still has it I hope we can see him again,boxing is not something you play..So if he is not 100%,I hope to never see him in a ring again..He could get seriously hurt if his heart is not into it..

At least he had the good sense not to come back into the public eye after that display.

Why does Dirrell's name get thrown around this board so much as of late? He got a lot of mileage out of that cheapshot, ironically it's also the nail in the coffin of his career.

shame...this fight more or less signaled the end of Dirrell's career as well as the end of Abraham's good fortune in the boxing ring. Dirrell was winning comfortably, but I hated his style...still you don't want to see what happened to him happen to any fighter. And I believe if Abraham would have accepted accountability for that punch then and there in the post-fight interview he wouldn't have lost so much respect.
