Who thinks AA was gonna Knock out Dirrell eventually?

[fightfan_79]

AA was starting to put alot of pressure and land some hard shots, i think he was on the verge of a ko.

I 2nd that....he was getting desperate....and starting to catch Dirrell from the 10th round on. Dirrell wasn't "moving" anymore and getting cornered / caught on the ropes. Very similar to the Jermain fight....

I agree with you that Abraham was gonna knock him out any moment, Dirrell's legs had gone. Abraham only started boxing in the 10th and as soon as he connected Dirrell was hurt. Abraham had him badly hurt and was close to finishing him.
If you watched the last super6 360 episode he clearly said i will stop him, he didnt even try to box him that wasnt the plan. Anybody who knows Abraham know he gives rounds away while he tries to work out his opponent, range & distance. As soon as he had it he was hurting Dirrell. Dirrell looked good but anyone can look good boxing a stationary target. People who dont know the fighters or boxing will watch the fight and say "Dirrell outboxed him blah blah blah" and EASILY WON". People who know boxing know Abraham and know what he was doing and in my opinion he would have won the fight - by KO. Besides the point nobody knows for sure what would have happened but as i said if u know boxing then u know the score. Abraham had him good, Dirrell was running. At the end of the day Abraham got DQ'd but Dirrell didnt win the fight in a legit way, he got knocked the **** out cold. American's seem to be proud none the less so let them be happy their fighter embarrassed himself again crying and rolling around on the floor like a baby - it's a fight, grow up.

I wouldn't mind a none Super Six rematch, but rather sharpish, like in July.

He was putting a lot of pressure on Dirrell, although it would have been hard to put the KO on him when he was on Bicycle-mode.

Don't think he would. If the were 3 more rounds yes but Dirrell only had to endure 1 more. Also if Abraham was confident he would be able to do that, why would he foul and throw his 0 away? He didn't feel Dirrell weakening enough or being hurt by his shots enough so he would go away.

I wonder if some of you even watched the fight. Dirrell ready to go? Lol. Are you kidding me? The bias in this place is unbelievable. He was fine, legs werent wobbly, wasn't acting desperate.

To say AA would have gone on and knocked him out with 4 1/2 minutes left is bull****. He landed flush punches earlier in the fight and Dirrell took them fine. The biggest fight of the guys life, I doubt he's just going to fold with 4 minutes left. It's not liek AA was hurting him with every punch landed.

If it wasn't for that cheap shot, Andre would of got back up from that slip and knocked out Abraham in the final round,, Andre should be awarded 3 points, cause Abraham frustration and desperation caused him to throw the fight....

This.

Dirrell would have stayed on his toes for the rest of the fight and would have won a a lopsided UD.

I agree. Abraham's had 12th round KOs against Taylor, Gevor and Ayala.

Dirrell was getting tired, Abraham was gaining momentum.

exactly. finally, someone who's seen Abraham's fights and knows that a KO in the final seconds of the final round is not something ridiculous to assume. after the 10th it was for the taking.

AA didnt land one legal punch in the 11th. AD was on his bicycle. He couldn't catch him. Not to mention, that AD took several of AA's best shots earlier in the fight.
