If Dirrell Faked It Then Why Would He.......

You must be a doctor right....

My wife is and I watched the fight with her and some of her colleagues (also physicians).

Easy...AA was closing in---started to land vicious shots...Dirrell was thinking "what the hell am I takin' these shots for? I'm a slick boxer--I shouldn't be getting hit like this. I'm still young; I'm ahead in the scorecards and the people will understand it....I'll fake it now."

Exactly!!!!!!Green k!

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...

Makes some sense. But if your knocked out to the jaw the brain is hurt. Maybe that part of his head was hurting. After a knock out putting ice on the area of your head that is hurt is a good idea. If the brain swells to much it can be bad.

Looking at the vid again and again, he looks dodgy.

I have seen women pretend to faint like that or kids acting like that.
I think most if not all the time, boxers drop straight down from a punch, rather than 1 second delay

Delays happen. Watch more fights.

Please tell me you at least watched Tyson do it to Berbick?

How about Tyson vs. Tubbs?

Gerald McClellan went down but he wasn't flat on his back until a bit later.

Ive been knocked out before. He acted just like I did after waking up.. I felt like I was in the moment again. No way in **** he was acting.. Sorry dude..

I saw a fight a few months back when a guy got headbutted in the temple. He passed out like 3 minutes later. Was he acting.

dirrell did not react like berbick or tubbs. he dint even look dazed. he thought about it for a second, then went down. even when he got up he didnt look glossy eyed or out of it. he was just faking confusion...very poorly.

I acted exactly like him when I got cheap shot kod. If he was faking then I must have been to.

IMO he was not knocked out, he looked to me like he faked it. People are saying why would he do that when he's well ahead on the cards etc.?

Maybe because he was on his bike again, which is part of the reason he lost the decision to Froch and maybe because he saw the way Abraham knocked out Taylor in the 12th round his last fight.

Abraham should've been DQ'd though I agree on that.

Yeah cause that logic makes perfect sense.
