Dirrell dominated Abraham. Arthur was flustered and looked bad.

Dirrell beat him to the punch consistently all night. Worked the body efficiently. Looped punches around the guard of Abraham. Used his footwork, but did NOT run. He cut up Abraham with flush damaging punches. Knocked him down with a beautiful counter punch. Won nearly all the rounds with relative ease. Even when Arthur was turning up the heat and won a couple rounds, Dirrell adjusted and was still boxing very well.

Face it. Abraham was being beaten decisively. He was swinging wildly for the KO and missing a lot. Dirrell did everything he needed to do to win. Then when Arthur saw an oppurtunity to hurt Dirrell, he took it and it cost him.

Game over, end of story. Dirrell won that fight fair and square in more ways than one.

Very good post.

Also, for the Abraham fan boys like Carnivore- why did the doctor take so long when looking at his eye? Why did the referee not call it a knockdown when Dirrell knocked Abraham into the ropes (which is a knockdown).

Yes, but Abraham should also have a KD, because I don't think their feet were tangled.

Either way Dirrell won and made Arthur look bad.

Though the feet were tangled,it probably wasn't enough to trip Dirrell.I would give that to Arthur.
Saying that-I would also give the 2nd knockdown to Dirrell as well.
Hard to say that the ref was on any one person's side.He called Dirrell on anything he seen.
Despite all the controversy,perhaps even Abraham fans can agree that it was a great fight,until the bad ending.Not one of us boxing fans like to see these sorta endings,but boxing loves controversy-especially the Super 6!

I want to make sure people don't forget what's important in this fight. Abraham got schooled.

what really happened

First of all, Abraham was cut from a head butt...secondly Abraham's knockdown was a flash knockdown and when Dirrell was knocked down the blind ref called it a slip robbing Abraham of a 10-8 round then in the 9th when Abraham had Dirrell in trouble in the corner against the ropes the ref stopped them and put them in the center of the ring, then in the 11th Dirrell knew he was in trouble from a very aggressive Abraham and running out of gas, slipped trying to escape and Abraham , caught up in the action, trying to get this guy who thought he was on 'Dancing With The Stars' to fight, let one go and was DQ'ed Abrahams only mistake was fighting this guy in his hometown and drawing a very biased ref. Dirrell knew he about to be knocked as Abraham always fights just this was...

Easy fight for dirrell, outboxed a 1 dimensional boxer all fight. Abraham didnt know how to box against dirrell, andre was the fatser, better boxer by far.

Dirrell dominated Abraham. Arthur was flustered and looked bad.
