I Lost All Respect For Arthur Abraham Tonight

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.

abrahams face says otherwise

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.

Yeah, I said similar somewhere else. I thought AA was a straight up guy, but he showed a distinct lack of class tonight. How could he watch the replay and not apologize? He should be embarrassed and thoroughly ashamed.

If it was up to me I'd ask him to apologize or DQ him from the tournament.

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

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.

wow, you must be blind, but i do believe you have no knowledge of the sport and are an idiot, this is not mma. Abraham got schooled in the ring and could'nt deal with it and cheated.

me too. hes a loser. go back to uncivilized armenia where you can act like that, lie and get away with it.

I honestly don't believe Abraham blatantly tried to hurt dirrell like he did. Yes he should have been DQ'd, but I think he hit him outta frustration and by being too aggressive. I don't even think he realized it until when he saw the replay and thought "ohh ****, I really did hit that guy when he was down".

That type of punch, when an opponent is down, happens all the time in boxing. It happened in Cotto vs Margarito, and also Margarito vs Mosley. Both were just being aggressive and didn't stop when it was deemed necessary. So while Abraham deserved his DQ loss, I don't think there was any malice behind it nor did he know that punch would cause that type of damage.

Abraham actually surprised me I always thought he was a gentlemen and a true warrior but he's just a cheater...

Best post I've read all night regarding the Dirrell/AA controversy.

ya i feel ya ... i agree DQ justifiable aa shuldnt have done that **** but it wasnt done outta malice.

also aa got schooled but he still had a chance. a shame for himself he had to end it that way cause now we'll never kno dre may have been on his way out.

props to dirrell as well for fighting a great fight without running or excessive holding headbutting etc ... he fought clean even tho kev is trying to pretend there were low blows

That's about the size of it.
