Abraham has himself to blame

[DC Fight Fan]

All of the childish post talking about Dirrell faking this or acting that are tired and played out. The facts are solid.

1. Dirrell clearly out boxed Abraham for 8 out of 10 rounds
2. Abraham clearly and intentionally cleaned Dirrell's clock with a pre-meditated illegal punch while Dirrell was on the canvas from an obvious slip
3. Laurence Cole did a terrible job for both sides throughout the fight

With all of that said Abraham puts himself in desperation positions of needing a KO a lot by not throwing punches in a fight. It seems to me by watching Abraham 4 or 5 times now that if he would just press the action early and not let his opponent consistently get a commanding lead on the cards that he would not be in such a position of desperation. A style like this is sure to catch up with any fighter. Maybe Abraham learned a valuable lesson last night.

as soon as arthur started opening up and doing his usual bullrushing is when he got KD'd
i wish he had started earlier, he probabley would've been stoppd by the 10th

No, he was good for Dirrell, even let him low-blow Abraham and follow it up with a shot to the back of the head.

does it matter as long as you win? he was going to get that KO, believe that.

the lesson Abe should learn that if it's a 50/50 as to whether the other guy is on the floor, don't hit him. He fell into the trap laid by the sneakier fighter.

Dirrell was doing the same **** against Froch and he got frustrated too, just wait for Froch's comments on this.

What fight did you watch?

Did you forget the part where he did not give Dirrell credit for an obvious KD in the 7th or where he allowed the doctors to apply extended pressure to Abraham's cut thus reducing the severity of the bleeding or not crediting Abraham with a KD of Dirrell. Cole messed up all over the place on both sides. Quit being so bias and childish and speak the truth!

I didn't notice much low blows. Abraham was just frustrated causing him to complain about anything.

I agree with you.
