Dirrell is good for the sport

not accurate. at one point LA was cycling. at NO POINT was dirrell anything special to boxing. He was in the Super Six tournament. He technically defeated Carl Froch. The prime Dirrell from before Abraham's lifechanging foul would have defeated any 168lbs fighter except Ward.

Yeah that is much worse than happened to Dirrell and I know protect yourself at all times but if you have never watched Marlon Starling-Tomas Molinares in 1988, check it out on youtube. That was like what happened but Molinares was not previously warned. It was ruled a NC. But I don't think the hit after the bell was as bad as in Saturdays fight. Starling unlike Weaver and Durrell rebounded well in spite being knocked out. In his next fight he upset Lloyd Honeyghan for the Welter title. Still tryin to green you TBear my brother. :sad:

Check out this at about 38:35. Best part is the post fight interview.

Dirrell is about as much use to boxing as Lance Armstrong was to cycling.

this right here is what dirrells people are saying happened :lol1: Yeah that is much worse than what happened to Dirrell and I know protect yourself at all times but if you have never watched Marlon Starling-Tomas Molinares in 1988, check it out on youtube.

If everyone took a dive every time they experienced a minor accidental foul, there wouldn't be a sport. The rules are the rules but judgment and honesty allow the sport to survive its own rules. That punch was barely late, not at all deliberate, and Dirrell visibly recovered then got "re-hurt" when he comprehended the situation, just like he did against Abraham. The cornerman attack n the other hand was basically criminal assault -- and for what? Again similar to Dirrell's people acting bizarre and dramatic after Abraham had already been DQ'd, not even necessary but I guess they felt humiliated by what they just watched and needed to theatrically scapegoat the opponent. The result of the fight should definitely be overturned.

I would not call that a sucker punch! It was part of a three punch combination the last which happened to have landed after the bell. A sucker punch is what Mayweather did to Victor Ortiz! and Dirrel's uncle did! Don't be silly! Where did I accuse the opponent of suckerpunching? I just said that Dirrell did not suckerpunch anyone (like his uncle) and did not punch anyone after the round (like his opponent). Dirrell was the cleanest guy in the arena that night.

dirrel a biitch niigga

It was not Dirrell's fault. He hit no one after the bell and he suckerpunched no one. I would not call that a sucker punch!

I am not one that thinks Dirrell was faking. He was fouled, and I believe it ruined his career. In the Uzcategui fight it showed the toll it took on him and it is likely in my opinion a knockout might have come anyways . But Uzcategui had punched after the bell earlier and failed to heed the warnings. Back in 1984 Mike Weaver was the #1 heavyweight contender and a tough dangerous foe for any top heavyweight. Weaver took a tune up against Tony Anthony before his title shot. At the end of the second round Weaver returned to his corner and Anthony followed him and attacked him from behind knocking him out. Weaver was never the same. In his next fight he was knocked out again by Pinklon Thomas. I imagine if Tony Anthony had any fans they would say Weaver was faking. But sometimes a foul knockout can change your career, intentional or unintentional.

it is all on the ref. HES paid to listen for that bell. HES paid to have control over the fight. in the heat of a moment (battle) do you think a guy who is THROWING PUNCHES is listening for a fncking 10 second bell ?!?!? He should just stop when he hears the bell. Why do you give the ref all of the blame? The bell is there to signal the end of the round. The round ends. Not Dirrell's fault that his opponent forgot that he wasn't in a nonstop bar brawl.

people acting as if it was 20 seconds after the bell. PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES (even when youre in your own corner :lol1: ) One second could be the difference between life and death. The opponent had obviously not been disciplined enough. Maybe the DQ lose will make him more careful in the future.

number 1 rule - protect yourself AT ALL TIMES. After the bell, it shouldn't be neccessary.

LOL! Last night was shameful! It was not Dirrell's fault. He hit no one after the bell and he suckerpunched no one.

Good for the sport? Lol wow What is better for the sport than a guy who respects the rules and makes the game more safe by reminding the cheaters that they will get punished?

LOL! Last night was shameful!

I agree. His corner should learn to not only respect the rules during the fight, but also outside of the fight. It was not okay to suckerpunch anyone, even if it happened after the fight and thus had no relevance for the fight at all. I absolutely agree with you.

Good for the sport? Lol wow

Maybe he should teach his corner what following the rules Is all about. I agree. His corner should learn to not only respect the rules during the fight, but also outside of the fight. It was not okay to suckerpunch anyone, even if it happened after the fight and thus had no relevance for the fight at all.
