Discussion Thread: Arthur Abraham-Andre Dirrell

[starjammer]

I think he was hurt. Not because I bet on Dirrell to win, but because the shot that Arthur landed was a hard shot!!

Dirrell didn't even see it coming.

Arthur was coming on, so of course we will have unhappy people complaining that Dirrell is a coward, because they don't want to credit him with the victory he was about to claim. Because you can bet he would have spoiled his way to a decision victory.

I don't know how I feel about Arthur. I mean, the act wasn't as bad as Jones against Griffin. There seemed less time involved. But then again, he saw Dirrell go down and he took the shot, instinctive as it was. He must deal with the consequences.

Although I admit at first I was sceptical when Dirrell keeled over, as soon as I saw his reactions on the canvas I changed my mind. Ring-side commentators, the doctors, they called Dirrell's reaction as legit - which is worth more than disgruntled fans imo.

For Arthur's side, he scored a knockdown over Dirrell and I don't know how the referee missed that. Terrible. Arthur was coming on, he had a great chance to get to Dirrell (it would have failed in the time left imo), but still, he ****ed it up.

I'm dissapointed in the strange outcome, as I'm sure you all are.

Forget about all the minor things, Dirrell knockdown not getting called or the cut caused by a headbutt. Dirrell dominated this fight and Abraham was a poor sport, Dirrell was clearly down and he threw a punch.

Now, in the words of Joe Pesci

'**** you. Pay me'

That was possibly the most bizarre fight I've ever seen. Dirrell was schooling him, but it seemed like AA could get the KO at the end, so it's bad that we were cheated from a possibly great ending.

i know !! who knows wat wuda happened had it gone all the way. wat a fight though . entertaining as hell. the super six is back on now boys

[NachoMan]

IMO the ref should have dqed himself - missing a KD, a lotta low blows by Dirrell and being half across the ring when Dirrell slipped and AA was in motion to punch...that's really, really bad...not only for AA but for the whole integrity of the tourney...

Agree with everything said about the ****ty reffing, except the part about a lotta low blows. AA was faking virtually everyone of the those supposed low blows.

[minasyan]

Don't blame AA for the hit, It's not like he meant it, If anything blame us who say that Dirrell is faking ehhe

AA is still a champion

[k1llu]

AA deserved to get DQ that was an illegal paunch even if derail was faking it.

Total BS. Abraham knew Dirrell was down and still hit him with a pretty hard one. Idk if Dirrell was acting or not I'm just pissed we got screwed from a potentially great ending.
