Discussion Thread: Arthur Abraham-Andre Dirrell

[KickAzz]

That was a bad punch from Abraham, but Dirrell overreacted..

are you kidding me? AA twisted Dirrell's head... like a screw

[SOPH~ REP.]

Good acter or good power ?

Not doubt aa got his ass whoop, an like froch got mad cuz things wasn't going his way to result in dirty tactics , but who wouldn't want to take a shot a him for slick and quick boxing

[mandirigma]

Why fake when he was winning? Dirrell is hurt!

[Jamel H]

So was Taylor, then they end up with nothing in the tank in the final rounds. That's when the king knocks'em out. AA would've had him before he did his little oscar scene on the floor.

Highly doubt it, unlike Taylor Andre was moving and using his feet

Abraham got screwed by the USA.

1. The referee was American, but wasn't supposed to be.

2. Dirrell pretended to have a bad back to move the fight to Detroit, all that messed up Dirrell's sleeping patterns and training schedule

3. The referee called Abraham's clean knockdown of Dirrell a slip. The knockdown of Abraham by Dirrell was actually more of a slip.

4. The referee protected Dirrell and stopped the action when Abraham had Dirrell against the ropes

5. The referee "failed" to call the bad cut to Abraham eyebrow was from a headbutt

6. Dirrell was not all the way down when Abraham hit him. His legs were bent in a squat but he was not 100% down.

7. Dirrell should win an academy award for his acting - he wasn't really so badly hurt. But I think the commentators knew, they just wanted to see a Dirrell win.

i agree with all of this

[DC Fight Fan]

I thought he faked it, honestly.

Did you get your MD in the mail yet?

Give me a break! He was out f'n cold from a clear sucker punch!

[Tiozzo]

**** you all people saying dirrell faked it. Dirty abraham hit him with a big punch dirrell didn't expect since he was down, which means more damage. I say **** you *******s looking for excuses.

[lyricalether]

Every single one dude...first fight, shot fighter..second fight robbery, 3rd fight head butts, this shyt acting job...like come on i thought this was supposed to do some good to the sport its making boxing look like a circus act
