Who thinks AA was gonna Knock out Dirrell eventually?

[Motofan]

I thought it was coming. Dirrell didnt have his legs under him from the big shots in the 10th. Guess we will never know.

[The Gambler1981]

Yes. You could see the end of near. I mean Abraham is the type of fighter who you can win the early round from. He is most dangerous in the mid to late rounds because he doesn't tire. While his opponents are usually running from him which make them tire later on.

Yea the end of the fight was near there were only 4 minutes left and Abraham had not hurt Dirrell at all in the whole fight. Chaces favored Dirrell making it to the end but Abraham is a big puncher so you never know but looking at the whole fight I fail to see how you could come to the conclusion that Abraham was about to knock out Dirrell.

these are just the people that badly wanted arthur to win, they need an excuse now that he has lost, they are a desperate and frustrated as their hero
AA is a good fighter, but he wasn't stopping dirrell on his feet

AA definately turned it up in the 10th and 11th round, he was getting desperate for the KO especially since he had that cut to think about aswell, and Dirrell didnt seem 100% after going down in the 10th.

AA started to land some big shots late in the fight and I think we could easily have seen a 12th round KO win. Dirrell would have most likely got on his bike for the last 2 rounds though, but I think AA would have closed him down with constant and desperate pressure in a similar way to Froch, except AA has much better boxing skills than Froch.

I take nothing away from Dirrells performance, he fought suprisingly well (I expected him to run the whole fight but I was wrong) for the majority of the fight but it was clear that he was starting to fade, and AA started coming on strong landing big shots.

It would have been a very interesting conclusion, shame AA had to ruin it though.

AA would of came forward, thrown some caveman swings... Dirrell would dodge then for the rest of the 2:30 Dirrell would just flurry AA backing him up banking the points like he did from rounds 1-11.

Yea it seemed that way to me. He actually went down from a jab that hit him on the temple.

Naw that was clear slip bro he started slipping before the punch landed.

[revs1227]

u never know i mean he looked like he was gaining momentum but damn

[jrosales13]

I don't want to say he was going to KO him. Who know's Dirrell could of really got on his bicycle and ran until the end of the bell. But, I thought AA was coming on strong, I thought he was getting closer and also hitting Dirrell more ofter. I felt a KO was highly possible it was not out of the realm of possibility.

[AceNguyen]

It was a possibility for a KO, but a probability? You guys are nuts. Dirrell is smart enough to run if he needs to and slick enough to avoid most of the big shots. He also threw some nice straight left counters as Abraham was coming in. 95% chance he survives, it's not like he was on ***** street.
