    If AA-Froch is in Nottingham that'll be so cool.

      so no, abraham wasn't knocking out anyone on while that person had his legs under him that night
      dirrell did not look refreshed in the 11th. moving around more doesnt mean youre refreshed, it means you're too tired to maintain your punch output so you rely on your legs.
      i'll say this though. if he got up from the foul and the ref for some reason allowed the fight to continue, dirrell WOULDVE been refreshed. he wouldve been given time to recover, got a few more pts in the bank from an abraham deduction and couldve subsequently won the fight on his bike.

        as for the OP. dirrell acted, but it was unnecessary. hitting a man while he is down is a dq'able offense and the ref did the right thing.
        all the acting after the foul was moot. incredibly pathetic and embarrassing, but moot.

          There is no way Froch is fighting AA in Germany.

            I believe that will be the case. Either Nottingham Arena or the Magnificent City Ground.

                Funny how some of the posters on here act like their experts on every aspect of boxing. Dirrell took a clean/flush shot on the chin from a hard puncher, why is it so hard to beleive that he may have been hurt?

                Dirrell seemed to handle Abraham for most of the fight, after the foul Dirrell would have been giving all the time he needed to recover and coast to a victory for the remaining 1 1/2 rounds. Why would Dirrell want to fake getting KO'd?
