Was Dirrell acting? I think he was...

[AKATheMack]

So Dirrell faked getting knocked out so he didnt have to get up and continue whipping Abrahams ass for 5min?

abraham was whooping his ass at the time and dirrell was visibly tired.

Dirrell fought a great fight. Abraham should have known coming in that he'd have to be active a bit earlier because Dirrell was much quicker and more elusive to hit than anybody he'd ever faced before. Instead he fought Dirrell like he fought everyone in the past and this hurt him quite a bit.

I watched the fight and I have to say I thought Dirrell was acting immediately. I felt this way for two main reasons. To start off with Abraham hit Dirrell in his jaw but Dirrell put his glove up to his temple area and acted as if the blow landed their instead. Even after he got back to his dressing room they were icing his temple area when he clearly got hit in his lower left jaw. Secondly, was my opinion of Dirrell's delayed response after he got hit. Specifically the way Dirrell started to shake as if he was convulsing after getting hit. This was very strange because if you get hit hard enough to convulse you do it immediately. Dirrell didn't start to convulse right away. You can get hit and have a delayed reaction (because your equilibrium is off) and then fall out but you don't get hit and have a delayed reaction and then start to convulse. When someone gets hit hard enough to shake they are truly ****ed up and it happens right away. You don't see someone get hit like Dirrell did, lie down with his hands on his head and then start to twitch 8-10 seconds later. This was bull****. Dirrell fought a great fight but he was tired, knew he would win on the DQ and chose to act at the end.

What Abraham did (fouling out of frustration) was bad and he deserved the DQ. Good fight nonetheless and the drama that has occurred so far in this tournament really makes me want to see who will prevail in the end...

All of your analysis in blue is the same thing i saw and why i question it.

Hey guys without anyone getting upset or calling me a liar, id like to let you know that HE WAS NOT FAKING! I was about 10 rows back and when he slipped the ring shook and made a loud noise and when he was down he got hit with a crisp a$$ punch trust me IT WAS A LEGIT hard hit!

Abraham never came anywhere near whipping his ass.

yes he did. the 10th round. the unruled KD was legit. abraham was finally catching dirrell clean and andre was visibly tired. abraham was not and the momentum was clearly shifting until the dq.

[Motofan]

Clear as day act.

[Maidana vs Rios]

What about David Haye when he hit Fragomeni TWICE after he went down?

also,
tua hit cameron after he was down, no DQ
pac hit jmm after he was down, no DQ
khan hit salita after he was down, no DQ

it happens so fast, sometimes the ref gives them the benefit of the doubt.

even tonight, maidana KD cayo with a blow after the bell, no DQ.

hell, barrera even did a blatant one to JMM well after JMM was down, no DQ even then, just a point penalty.
