I Lost All Respect For Arthur Abraham Tonight

[cheatllwin]

Dirrell will get dropped again if they rematch. AA did nothing wrong only box. you might see a blatant foul in 'slow mo' but he landed a left jab that caused the slip another left jab and a followed with a right all in 1 second.

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.

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

Regardless Abraham still showed his true colors and I feel he was very frustrated by that point in the fight which leads me to believe it may have been intentional and done out of frustration. Yeah it happens some times, in "the heat of battle" like with Cotto, except the difference was that Margarito was in the middle of a combination, moving forward and had just landed a few clean shots with the guy on his feet. Direll obviously wasn't even hit, then slipped and Abraham looked down directly at him, ****ed, back, and unloaded on a stationary target, which is ten times worse then hitting someone who's moving, or falling back. Just because it happens doesn't make it right. That's why it's against the rules, and guys get dqed for it. If it was alright they wouldn't disqualify you; maybe they'd just take a point away.

Abrham all the time crying about low blows very gay for a champion .. he lost almost every round yes he was coming strong he needed a ko to win he was desperate,

Did anybody see Abraham at the end of the fight? He had nicks, cuts and swelling all over his face and neck. The sheer volume of punches he absorbed shouldn’t surprise anybody on his desperation foul. Dirrell slipped twice in that corner, I’d almost believe that Abraham’s corner was leaving it wet on purpose hoping he’d slip

Abraham got beat and beat bad, to say oh Andre would have gotten knocked out anyway is unfair. The way that fight was going Dirrell had a better chance for a knockout. Why isn’t anybody mentioning the extremely long rest Abraham got from the cut doctors

I had direll winning by 8 points

it could have been an entertaining last rounds until that cheap shot. damn.. AA committed that foul due to desperations, he knows his only chance was by KO, he was carried away by his eagerness to score a KO. i hope he realizes that what he did was unprofessional and apologize before he looses respect from boxing fans.

dirrell's speed and footworks was too much for abraham's power.

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

And I thought they did it for the money!

Yeah, Abraham has always complained when he gets hit with body shots, and the refs usually limit his opponents attacks to his body, giving him clear advantage, completely nullifying his weakness. The body shots were definitely affecting him tonight, and it showed down the stretch. Abraham was gassed and desperate by the 9th round.

yup, i noticed that the ring doctor fixed that cut and stopped the bleeding for good. that was an advantage for AA, however, i did'nt know if it was due to accidental head clash or from a legit punch.

[one-Punch]

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.

What really bothered me was not the dq, it was the bs he was saying in the interview. Sore looser.

[jbone]

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.

Look dude, you're not my optometrist and I don't really give a damn what you believe!

But since you're talking about what you believer, You believe that the mail man's yo' daddy, but it's really the garbage man, you pointless prick! I was watching boxing when you had green **** running out yo' diaper! But, you can have your opinion and I have mine. It's bastards like you that have no intelligent responses that piss me off!

I agree that Abraham got schooled and I'm glad he got exposed because I was going for Dirrell in both this fight and the fight that he WON against Froch. Abraham couldn't deal with Dirrell and lost his composure and fired that heavy punch but cheap shot! But I ain't a nut hugger like you because I call it like "I see it." And it looked like he was acting rather than actually feeling the effects of the punch. So keep you dumb a*s comment to yourself!

Opinions are like a*s-holes, so keep your opinion, A*SHOLE!
