    Come on man, I'm an AA fan and was rooting for him, but whats the point of putting his balls in your mouth??? This was a bad match up style wise for AA, and he got dominated.

    How do you break down an opponent who seemed to get stronger later in the fight?

      AA wasn't trying to win rounds son.

      That much was obvious. He wanted to dominant k.o victory.

      And he got it!

          Christ Jack, you can't believe the **** you're saying.

          Abraham couldn't get off, and the only time he started to pick it up was out of urgency, he wasn't just "letting" Dirrell dominate him.

          Dirrell's slip was completely legit, it's as clear as day. I'm not gonna condemn Abe for the punch, these guys are fighters it's hard to rationalize in the heat of the moment, he he's gotta acknowledge that it was an illegal blow at some point.

          Dirrell rightfully won the fight. Period.

            Keep lying to yourself.

            Bring on Bute, I think Dirrell or Ward would tear the overrated Romanian fighter a new *******

                  He started to open up more, doesn't mean he got stronger. If you get hit in the gut like that all night, even by a featherfisted guy, you'll feel it, trust me.

                    Round 6 was Dirrell's best round in terms of movement.

                      AA wasn't trying to win on points.

                      He was gunning for the k.o the whole way. He said it himself, he didn't care about the points.

                      The blow was totally legal. The ref didn't stop the action and Dirrell failed to protect himself.

                      He was robbed of a great knockout win.

                      And btw, savorduhflavor, how do you explain a grown man crying and whining in the post fight interview like that?

                      He should be a secretary or a gym teacher.

                      Not a fighter.
