Was Dirrell acting? I think he was...

[The Gambler1981]

He knocked him silly, straight up the simplest solution is that Dirrell got crushed in a defenseless position and went to sleep. Why would Dirrell want to win the fight like that, that is straight up the ****tiest way to win and he was not in that much danger it appeared.

I have seen enough dudes out cold to recognize that and Dirrell was like textbook.

Even if he was acting (which he wasn't). It still should have been a DQ.

AA got tooled and could not handle it at all, so he DQ'd himself, disgracefull.

you have to be joking. You have Hopkins and Ward in your pics and are saying AA is a disgrace for 1 foul. Ward and Hopkins average like 10 headbutts per fight.

it's possible that he got hit with the punch, blacked out, then after his head clears he starts bugging out because he realizes that the fight is over and doesn't know what's going on. he probably assumed he got knocked out.

i can imagine someone experiencing unconsciousness for the first time freaking out about it afterwards.

The double standards my friend, the american double standards

AA was frustrated but boxing is about tactic AA always says the smarter guy wins but this time it was Dirrel who was smarter than Arthur. Anyway if Dirrel manages to get up he was badly hurt anyway he could get KTFO but it was ok. Dirrel was the better man he deserved it. It was the first time where AA did not get a post prime or a hurt fighter in the ring and we all saw what happended.

it was like the jones fight

I don't think Dirrell acted imo.

Abraham is a big puncher and he hit Dirrell flush while he was down.

Abraham deserved the DQ loss for the blantant illegal blow.

Dirrell was not faking. And it was a legit slip.

Abe is scum for accusing him of faking it, but I don't think Abe was trying to be scum. As a fighter, it's probably hard to stop punching like that.

I think Abraham was caught up in the moment, it happens sometimes.

He simply needs to move on.
