I Lost All Respect For Arthur Abraham Tonight

[rskumm21]

I really liked and respected Arthur before tonight. What I saw in round 11 was a fighter who was dominated for 11 rounds and took out his frustrations in a disgusting act of cowardice. But that's not what did it for me. What made me lose complete respect for Abraham was after denying he did anything wrong, then seeing exactly what he did in slow motion replay, not having the courage to admit his mistake. Instead he not only does he take away credit from the guy who was giving him a boxing lesson, but he calls him an "actor" after an obvious foul. Wether it was accidental of not, is was an obvious foul, and he could not even admit it when the guy is practically having a seizure on the other side of the ring. Arthur Abraham got exposed tonight, not only for a boxer who lacks technical skills, but a boxer who lacks respect for the sport of the boxing, the fans, and the most important of all, his opponent.

I love AA now....he gained a new fan tonight.

[Killa Killa]

I agree with you man...

The crazy thing is the amount of responses from these lowlifes on this forum who try to discredit Dirrell when he was the victim of the foul....

Common

You dont know **** about boxing.

Dirrell didnt do **** except hiting gloves all day.

He got dropped by ABRAHAM and then he got knocked out cold by ABRAHAM.

I agree completely.

[Chex31]

Same, Abraham aint nothing to me.

I think he was caught in the moment and felt he had to be more aggressive. But the punch was illegal and he deserved to be disqualified. I hope he will realize this soon. It was his first loss, so maybe he was just pissed off.

I lost respect for Dirrell tonight. Abraham said it best; "He's an actor, he's not a fighter." Dirrell took the easy way out and it was obvious, in my opinion.

i co-sign, i "was" a huge abraham fan, even being an american i was still rooting for him, this is shameful on the sport

[Don Flamenco]

Still an American fan here.

He fought the same way he did in every fight he's ever been in tonight. I thought he was coming on real strong in the later rounds, as usual and the DQ, although deserved, was very unfortunate.

The things that were said after the fight was in the heat of battle though. You shouldn't put too much into it. Hell, if I was in a title fight and I see Jim gray sticking a mic into my face right after everything that happened I would probably be saying far worse things.

I respect anyone who puts their safety on the line for my entertainment.

Abraham got hit low at least 4 times, he faked 2 other times but I counted 4 real low blows and nothing was done.
