Wow dirrel is a good actor.

[Siggy]

you are right i would not have taken that punch but that is because i am not a professional fighter lol. all i am saying is that he took the punch looked at him covered his face and then whent down. but no way would i take a punch like that. so props to dirrell for taking the punch but he needs to work on his acting skills.

if he had good acting skills he wouldve just laid there, let the doctors check him out, immobilize his head and wait for the medics and the stretcher. but noooo. he had to carry on sobbing and hollering acting all confused making sure the world knew his head hurt.

i know what was i thinking

Why doesn't that thick head of yours count in the fact that Dirrell should have had two KD's instead of one.

Dirrell won, Abraham lost. Case closed.

Dirrell was desperate so he decided to use Arthur mistake to pull out of the fight.Disgusting!

watch from 3.40 the slow mo

Andre Dirrell: "No daddy Arthur please no more punishment...im sorry your the boss!!"

Arthur Abraham:: (German Accent) "Shaze Fack Up and Take Your Punishment Like A Man!"

I watched the full fight +replays of the incidents. It STILL doesn't look like he's faking it to me. If he did, then Dirrell must have one of the toughest chins in this division cause that was a hard shot that clipped the jaw.

Fake or not, he threw a (power) punch while Dirrell was down on his knee with both hands on the canvas after a slip in AA's corner. How the **** can you justify that?

It's funny to read the comments on this board suggesting how Dirrell should have behaved if he really was hurt by that punch cause none of you have had shots to the head like that. Try it then come back telling me what it felt and looked like...

Contrariwise, Dirrel is a bad actor. This "knockout" looks totally like bad comic performance by Andre with all those grimacing and playing the ape.

But Dirrel's bad actor skills has nothing to do with Abrahamyan's behavior - hitting the opponent while he's on the floor is clearly not boxing and it's just meanly. So whether Andre act this knockout or not it is irrelevant to the Arthur's actions for which he definitely deserves disqualification.

i totally agree with poster above me. AA totally deserved the DQ no doubt about it.
