I think that Abraham could have stopped Dirrell in the 12th

[HitmanHattonAY]

I hope there will be a rematch, because Abraham definatley figured out that Dirrell is uncomfortable fighting going backwards, note i didn't say "bad" at fighting backwards, but uncomfortable.

In the round before the KO Abraham imo legitimatley dropped Dirrell, and was starting to find the target on Dirrell.

I realise that revisionist history has Dirrell schooling Abe for 11 rounds, and I admit that Dirrell was looking really good, but Abraham always gives away the early rounds, and I think that he was starting to figure out Dirrell.

Who knows what would have happened if the fight continued, Dirrell could have won a wide UD, or Abraham may have finally got to Dirrell, as he was getting increasingly close to doing.

I think a rematch would be interesting, as Abraham would know that he had a better chance if he pressured Dirrell, and Direll would want revenge for being sparked.

Dirrell hammered Abraham, he outboxed him and Dirrell landed the bigger and better shots !!

don't forget dirrell got a 2nd knockdown that they didnt count not to mention the "doctors" sat there and cleaned up abraham's cut for like an hour right when that cut was really beginning to take a toll on him...

Give me a break, Abraham was REALLY starting to put pressure on Dirrell, and then all of a sudden the Ref stops the fight to check on a cut that's been bleeding for 3 rounds (and didn't even look as bad as it did the round before).

The stoppage helped Dirrell A LOT more than it did Abraham. Totally ruined Abraham's momentum.

The same **** happened when Abraham had Dirrell in the corner. Ref breaks them up for another ****** reason.

Dirrell seemed to take AA's punches quite well and at times wanted to mix it up more than I expected. I reckon Dirrell would have won a UD because he would have got on his bike and kept moving, throwing the occassional flurry.

Dirrell deserved victory he outboxed Abraham (and won me a small piece of cash )

[ИATAS]

I think this fight was going to the scorecards. Dirrell took AA's punchers very well.

On a side note, I have a feeling if this fight was in Germany Dirrell would have been deducted 4 points for low blows and there would have been no DQ.

Yer.... Abraham landed some HUGE shots in the 11th.

/End Sarcasm.


The only shot he landed got him DQed.

FAIL.

not in the eleventh, but in the tenth he was getting to dirrell. i don't think the eleventh round even lasted a minute. he would have had plenty of time to land something.

i hope we see a rematch in a neutral place next year.
i really didnt understand why the ref stopped the fight to call the ring doctor to control abrahams small cut, abraham fought with a broken jaw where he lost 1litre blood and still kept coming.

but any1 who says abraham shouldnt get DQ for what he did should watch roy jones vs griffin, the same thing happened there also.
even the commentator on ARD said before they announced the result, that he would disqualify abraham for hitting some1 who is down and cant defend himself.
and if u noticed, dirrell slipped in abrahams corner not just once.

dirrell is a tricky fighter, im no longer a hater of froch, i give him credit for doing a better job than abraham now
