Comments Thread For: Arthur Abraham vs. Andre Dirrell Results, Notes

[Ravens Fan]

biggest robbery ever

ABRAHAM got robbed so bad.

First he dropped him so bad and didnt get knockdown and second when he knocked him out he got DQ.

EUROPEAN fighters should never go again in USA.

This is disgrace for boxing.

The only disgrace was the way Abraham fought. I will be honest I did not know much about Abraham before tonight and I will not take anything away from Andre but the King looks like he was a bit overrated. But, I do believe Andre was hurt and wearing down and may have taken advantage of the situation at the end.

He clearly punched Dirrell while down, that is a justifiable DQ, but I don't know, no one knows how hard that punch hit but Dirrell himself. Little fishy looking, but it looked like the fist and forearm got Dirrell right on the chin.

It was a pretty big punch, but the thing that hurt the most is that Dirrell never saw it coming (of course, he wasn't supposed to get hit by that cheater AA while he was down).

Dirrell was exposing king Arthur for 11 rounds before his ***** as hit Dirrell when he slipped down in the corner and knocked him cold out

Dirrell was dominating him but I think people are jumping all over Arthur for that punch. The fight was at a point where he was only going for a knock out and he had a pretty bad cut over his eye. He pressured Dirrell to the corner and the kid slipped and Arthur just kept fighting. He def should have been disqualified and it was dirty but I think there are a lot of fighters who would have done the same thing. As sad as it is to say I think it was a pretty smart move because now Arthur loses by a disqualification where he brutally knocks his opponent out instead of going to by a large margin on cards. I just wonder if Dirrell can bounce back from a brutal knockout like that.

Dirrell was pitching a shutout up until that point, quite impressively I thought.

Don't know if he faked it at the end or not. But if you hit a man who is down you deserve to get disqualified. Acting or no acting.

Wow, what a masterfull performance by Dirrell. Whats funny is when they showed AA the replay, he had to pause himself in kinda disbelief that he did that. AA was frustrated and did the only thing he could to land a clean shot. He should be kicked out of the tourny.

[Floyd R]

Arthur Abraham is a ****ing cheat and clearly hit Dirrell after he slipped. Anyone who thinks otherwise didn't see the fight, blind, or an idiot. Abraham was frustated, losing the fight, and resorted to cheating. **** Abraham.

[slindee3]

was about to get knocked the **** out and he dropped to the ground like he always does and got caught, NOT EVEN ABRAHAMS FAULT WHY DOES THIS KID ALWAYS FALL TO THE GROUND? he did it in the froch fight too!

danj, you're an idiot. it's clear that dirrell slipped on the logo and then got punched. abraham punched him while he was on the canvas

[King Ju-Ju]

1st half of the fight, Dirrell was kicking his ass. AA looked horrible. Throwing like 10 punches per round. After that Dirrell didn't stand right in front of him but was still doing enough 2 maintain his lead in the fight. Once it set into AA's head that he was gonna need a KO 2 win, he started chasing him down & Dirrell got on the mountain bike. Then came the KO. AA said that he did nothin wrong. Who's he kiddin? He knocked him out while he was on the floor. Ill admit that I didn't think the punch was that solid 2 cause that type of reaction from Dirrell but that's easy 4 me 2 say, I aint the 1 that got hit wit it. Btw, has any1 notice a trend so far in the Super 6? Dirrell loses in England. Taylor loses in Germany. Kessler loses in the US. Now in the 1st fight of the 2nd rd, AA loses in the US.

[trufightfanatic]

Aye, if Taylor got kayoed by a straight right from AA whle he was on his feet. What makes anyone think that any SMW could take a hard shot from AA while they're already on the mat. Say what u may, but Dirrell made AA look very simple and basic. Truth be told AA was frustrated and humiliated, he showed no sympathy or remorse for that late punch. In my opinion AA saw a way out f the fight and took it. e simply forgot that he wasn't fighting in Germany tonight and that he would get DQ'd for such ****.

Don't know if he faked it at the end or not. But if you hit a man who is down you deserve to get disqualified. Acting or no acting.

Did you see Tua's last fight against Shane Cameron? He CLOCKED Cameron with everything he had after he'd already knocked Cameron down at the end of round one. And there was no disqualification. And then Tua came out and KO'd Cameron AGAIN in round two. It was way worse than this, where Dirrell was starting to get in trouble and pulled his falling down routine he used all night against Froch, who resisted the urge to clock him.

Dirrell fought well but was fading, and AA had the momentum but blew it by losing his cool at Dirrell's tactics. Froch was the smart man, Arthur wasn't.
