Comments Thread For: Dirrell Drops King Arthur To Win, Suffers Brutal Knockout

[any craic lad?]

Missed the fight but bravo andre dirrell after what happened against froch it would have been easy to blame everyone and get an excuse to why you might lose but you didnt heard ya boxed a great fight.Dissapointing to hear that arthur moght do something like that cuz he is a likeabe guy but im delighted dirrell won

Lawrence Cole doesn't know the rules either. I don't condone what Abraham did. But I think the ****ty reffing job of letting Dirrel get away with low blows and not calling that one knockdown is what would trigger any fighter to do what Abraham did simply out of frustration.

Iceta, Arthur was frustrated alright, not from low blows, but from getting his ass handed to him. I saw 1 maybe 2 legit low blows,the others were good body shots.

great performance from Dirrell..Abraham ought to be fined heavily

Arthur should have been more patient and kept his cool, but he didn't and hit Dirrell when he was down and got rightfully DQ'd, Dirrell fought a good fight... only thing I could say about him is that he did slip a tad too much in that fight, but that could of been cause of the canvas I dunno I wasn't fighting.

The referee was **** for both sides too, I never got to see it all cause my computer was playing up so I couldn't watch the stream properly, but Abrahams KD was legit and apparently Dirrel got a second discounted KD. Also, I mean this is something Floyd sometimes does and he is my favorite fighter so I don't put emphasis on this cause it aint much of a big deal, but when AA has Dirrell on the ropes throwing punches and he stuck his arm out and the referee pulled him away and told him to stop doing that it was kinda unfair... that was no different from when Andre Dirrell was ducking below the waistline when he was doing it (as I said, I know Floyd does it, and I aint bothered about Dirrell doing it, but the referee shouldn't have pulled AA for sticking his arm out).

Funnily enough AA was coming on strong in the last couple of rounds and I think Dirrell respected that, if AA was more patient and didn't hit him when he was down there is a chance he might have stopped Dirrell. But fairly Dirrell was way up towards the end, AA should of got going earlier, he warmed up around round 6-8 but by then it was too late to get a decision, should of applied the pressure earlier.

Overall, Dirrell boxed well for most of the fight, Abraham started to do well towards the end but should of started much earlier... and Abraham deserved the DQ because he did swing his arm back after Dirrell slipped.

Dirrell's career is over. He'll never recover from that. That was worse than what KO'd Hatton.

The USA favouritism was abvious as usual. If that wasnt a knockdown by Arthur in the 9th I think, then im a dutchman. I think if Dirrell carried on Arthur would have ko'd him anyway. Arthur was getting to him and hurting him.

ok but that was also a knock down by dre that was ruled a slip. he was saved by the ropes. also replay show dre was tripped by aa's foot. the bottom line aa hit a man clearly down on his knees. a very dirty move. he couldnt beat him by boxing so he got the punch he was looking for by punching a man that was down. then after looking at the replay he turned hoe and called dre a good actor not a good boxer. well that good actor gave aa a boxing lesson. and a good old fashion midwest BEATDOWN!

yo space good post BUT, the ref was right to stop aa. you cant stick out your arm or measure an opponet it is against the rules.

Dirrell is a fking sissy , he should be on Hollywood not boxing...

[mrjoeblive]

Direll did not win...That fight was bought by Direll. Ummmm wonder how much the referee was paid....He needs to man up and fight and stop falling "slipping" or start acting.

so the ref was paid to get aa to punch a man that was down on his knee? you cant be serious. and he did "man up and kicked your boy's ass from one side of the joe to the other. as for the slipping you will note the slips came when he was moving on the logos. your boy need to man up and fight while his opponet is standing not hit like a coward.

a sissy that kicked aa bottom. so what does that make aa if he got schooled by a sissy?

There is lot of ignorance going around. Dirrell got screwed once again. Andre Ward now has plenty of motivation to go on and win this thing.
