Do you really think so?
He missed 1 or 2 KD's, stopped the fight for a minute to have the doc check AA's eye right after AA had landed a big left hook and he was completely out of position at the final slip.
Decent job? I disagree.
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
LOL...AA not only got dominated that round but it was Dirrell who landed a countered left hook on the eye of AA and the blood really started flowing before Cole had the doctor check it...This is got to be one of the hardest fights to Referee and Cole did a good job..IT's funny how more foolish you guys look when your fighter loses and your quick to look for a blame...
Are you serious? John Ruiz!? JOHN RUIZ!?
If he last one round with David Haye...I think we all should start questioning David Haye boxing future here...
Lol, I ripped into Cole for his bullshit job in my thread that nobody read. You honestly think that was good reffing? That was the biggest bullshit I've seen since probably the last time Cole reffed a match. That ref needs to lose his license already. He helps Andre get out of the corner getting pummelled by saying AA is using his arm as a measuring stick. Ok, well if you do that, shouldn't you call it immediately after when AA does it again? Nope, not that time! Then he rules a clear KD AA scores as a slip. Sure their feet tangled up AFTER AA landed that punch that sent Andre reeling backwards tripping. Horrid call. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting 1 more shitty thing he did last night.
I recall both fighters being warned Abraham for using his arm as a measuring stick and Direll as pushing off with his forearms...after being warned it wasn't a factor afterwards..both fighters kept it clean after..The KD was questionable,, it showed clearly the feet coming together, now would Direll stayed on his feet when AA landed and the feet not coming together, its questionable, but the main thing that stood out in front of Cole the the feet coming together...and i don't recall Andre getting pummelled in the corner.. the only time i saw Andre in the corner was when he slipped on the water in AA corner..
He did a great job in my opinion. He had a lot to handle that fight. It was pretty much only fair through natural events that the second time Abraham got knocked down, he didn't call it, so why are people complaining about when Abraham knocked Dirrell down through a slip? It's no different. Dirrell couldn't get his foot back underneath due to the trip, it could have been called either way and people would've been bitching. Abraham measuring, Dirrell pushing with his elbows, the low blows that were for the most part caused by Abraham himself. His fast reaction to see if Dirrell was fine. People think he's biased, and these to fighters are no strangers to referee's having to get involved, it's almost inevitable. I think Cole did a great job and no other ref would have done better.
Great post
Green k sent
If it wasn't for that cheap shot, Andre would of got back up from that slip and knocked out Abraham in the final round,, Andre should be awarded 3 points, cause Abraham frustration and desperation caused him to throw the fight....
If I had to make the call I would say it was but the feet did hang up a little bit. It's a judgement call on the refs part an he made the decision.
It's all fair though because technically speaking, Dirrell knocked Abraham down again in one of the earlier rounds and it wasn't called either.
That was the one where AA was punched back into the ropes and was held up by them on his way down had they not been there.
Good post,,, like i said very questionable...I agreed on the decision of the referee Laurence Cole, he did a good job..:fing02:
You could clearly see that he was hurt because he got hit, and had already started going down when he tripped on Abraham's foot. Anyone could notice that unless they're blind.
So your saying it was a trip...cause being hurt doesn't mean being KD
every time i felt like there is gonna be action now, cole stepped in and detroyed AA's rhythm.
abrahams disqualification was justified, while calling time out because of a little cut was absurd.
dirrell was the better man that night, but AA is better than what he showed yesterday.
it was definitely not only dirrells style which caused so much troubles to him.
i hope AA forgets his first loss quickly, and comes back strong in his next fight.
You were talking about this rhythm from AA
At the time it seemed like Abraham was doing some damage, but take a close look, The Matrix was very matrix like:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/natas206/matrix2.gif
13 punches for Abraham, 0 landed.
repeated low blows; smiling at Dirrell when Dirrel got up from a slip; you saw that shit? it was HILARIOUS!!!; not counting a clear Knockdown (stop with that foot bullshit) it was a clear punch;
it was an awfull ref. if you think he did good then you should never give a comment about referees again.
Abraham was given up to 5 min for a questionable low blow which was borderline in my eyes..repeatedly i think not....the replay CLEARLY showed the feet coming together.. it was a questionbale call because a punch was also thrown at the same time...Cole smiling at Andre...maybe Cole thought the slip was funny, has nothing to do with the outcome of the fight....
not questionable at all. its similar to dirrell's KD.
one fighter is off-balance and a solid punch puts em down.
both were legit KDs.
AA foot showed clearly right behind Dirells foot..Direll tried to slide his foot backwards when he was pushed back with the punch from AA...The Ref clearly saw the feet come together...When did the feet come together on Direll knockdown?
not the cleanest punch?? he cuffed him with his wrist.
it was a pull down, not a knock down.
If the punch was a pull down, AA would of went straight down or towards Andre...AA went the direction the punch was going...left counter hook,, not the cleanest punch but definitely a punch...
You could clearly see that he was hurt because he got hit, and had already started going down when he tripped on Abraham's foot. Anyone could notice that unless they're blind.
ARE U SURE YOUR NOT CALLING A TRIP?....
No. I'm saying that Direll was hurt from the punch and was going to go down anyways, regardless of Abraham's foot being there. Abraham's foot was there so it contributed to not being called a knockdown.
So you would agree on that the call was correct from Referee Laurence Cole
well you had a big tv and you didn't see sh*t; the ref was awfull and obviously you don't know sh*t about boxing and sh*t about referees.
end of thread.
Would you like to back up your statement with some kind of valid arguement...? please explain..
I havn't seen it in slow motion or anything but it looked like a punch landed and he went against the ropes when I watched it live so I commented as I seen it. I'll have a look if I come across it even thought it don't matter a whole lot anyways.
This was a questionable call also, i thought it was a counter punch which sent AA to the ropes, the ropes clearly stopped AA from hitting the floor..but again its a judgement call on the ref, if he felt the ropes helped AA from hitting the floor, he didn't think so..IMO i thought it was knockdown
those feet weren't tangled, dirrells foot was flat on the ground and only lifted up once he began to fall, watch it again.
He wasn't able to slide his right foot back because Abrahams foot was behind Andre foot...it was a questionable call but you can't deny the fact that the feet came together
not a questionable call at all. look for a slo-mo replay of that. its somewhere on this forum.
dirrell cuffed him with his wrist and pulled him into the ropes.
I've seen it many times already, Direll had stepped back and planted his feet and countered AA with a left hook, not the cleanest punch but it landed and knocked AA off balanced into the ropes...
Did I watch the fight? Was that a serious question or are you on some kind of ego trip? What are you, a clown? Did you just get this 50 LCD TV or something? Have you ever seen a fight on TV? Are you use to watching fights on "stream and Youtube"? That's how you sound, like "oh now I upgraded, I'm better than everyone. No one else has HBO and Showtime" Bitch I've been watching all my fights on TV since before you were born. Oh you were born before me? so what...
What's with the tantrum kid...LOL..I only mentioned the lcd because people always find a way to say, "you must of watched on youtube or some stream" because there outcome is different than mine...still waiting for you to explain..
he did horrible. he should have been closer at the end and he missed two knockdowns. everytime i locked for the ref he was always too far away from the action.
Well one knockdown was questionable, he did miss one and that was at the end of the 7th the ropes kept Abraham from falling... the other clearly showed the feet coming together.. as far as Cole not being close, it maybe because of Andre constantly using his footwork...
not a cheap shot. you dont turn your back on your opponent. the complaining act was wearing thin. dirrell knew thats what abraham does and said that he'd do that if abraham started complaining. thats how arthur extends his shell defense down to his belt line. take away the body shots and there is no target.
if cole did anything right it was how he reffed the so-called low blows.
GREAT JOB REFEREE LAURENCE COLE :fing02:
Should, I agree. But would have he been Dq'd?
I hate to say it but I doubt he would have been Dq'd. Point deduction yes but not a DQ since I doubt Abraham would cry.
So much for being serious
their feet touched, as they did the whole fight, but that isnt what caused dirrell to go down, it was a clean shot to the mug that sent him down, not tangled feet. like i said, either cole is a complete idiot or on the take. it has to be one or the other because he makes too many mistakes to be a professional. too many mistakes, too many times, too often.
either way, it was clear that dirrell was going down from the shot and not tangled feet, even if the shot didn't hurt him, it sent him down, cole was playing favorites i guess, it's not like he hasn't done it in the past before...........
cole is scum and needs to be removed from boxing.........
The Facts are the feet did get tangled as Direll tried to slide his foot back.. its a judgemental call weather if Direll still would've hit the canvas from the punch recieved from AA.. Fact is Direll tried to get his feet under neath him while falling back, the tangle feet did help the fall...excellent call on Laurence Cole
Wrong and wrong! Sounds like my old piece of shit 38 inch is better than your "55 inch lcd, not no stream or youtube bullshit"
LOL..ya Direll wasn't running circles around AA,. he was pummeled in the corner the ref had to help, keep AA from killing Direll in the corner. Sounds like you need an upgrade...
