Who thinks AA was gonna Knock out Dirrell eventually?

[Benny Leonard]

This.

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

Same thought....

There were moments in the fight where it looked like AA was going to catch him and Dirrell handled it. Even when trapped, he got out.

And he took a bomb early in the fight and Dirrell was fine.

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.

He did fold - with exactly 4 minutes left. He folded in half on the canvas. In fact, i think he's still folded lol. Dirrell's not build for this game, calm down.

How you can say 'the bias in this place is unbelievable' and 'he was fine, legs werent wobbly' in the same sentence is comical. Listen to the commentary in the 11th round the commentator even said Dirrell's acting like.. (i quote) 'a rabbit caught in the leadlights and doesnt know what to do'.

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

right here dude. AA started going to work and actually started to cut off the ring. that KO was coming. 2 rounds was plenty of time.

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

Dirrell was getting tired, Abraham was gaining momentum.

but he did fold.

I think Dirrell would have won. It's a shame it didn't end by a decision or a knockout. The Super Six is really not getting lucky with a lot of the fights already surrounded in controversy or problems.

He clearly slipped. You guys think a guy is going to just quit like that with so much to lose? He wasn't even that hurt. He was shaken because he was dropped. In the 11th he was under control and just trying to get away for a W.

Dirrell did act. I would even call his reaction borderline disgusting with how far he took it. But to say he was about to get knocked out is reaching. AA was outclassed and beaten by the better fighter.

Hell I wanted AA to win btw even though I put smart money on a Dirrell victory.

How did he fold? He slipped. Watch the clip without bias. He knew AA hit him when he was down so he acted like he was just hit int he face with a sledge hammer so he'd get the W.

My thing is this - Abraham's strategy was too work out Dirrell and knock him out late. Dirrell knew this and his strategy was work him as much as he can before Abraham gets going. The fight got stopped early. At a point where obviously Dirrell was ahead and looking good. BUT this is irrelevant because anybody can look good boxing a punchbag and Abraham wasnt hurt in the slightest. As soon as he caught him he hurt him - BAD, in fact he hurt him too easily. I feel he would have stopped him. Fair enough with the DQ call but this 'dirrell outclassed abraham' is total utter ****. The fight hadnt finished yet, had abraham not got DQ'd he would have knock him out. Its just some overexcited americans cant accept reality thats why they act a lot.

[Imhotep]

Abraham probably would have got caught with a big right hand in the last round and got knocked out.Do any of you Abraham excuse makers ever consider that.AD already dropped him twice.

[Marduke]

I hope these guys fight again.

Dirrell was clearly winning the fight, but it felt like Abraham was putting a lot of pressure, and on the verge of more knock downs and possibly a KO.
