Comments Thread For: Team Dirrell Hit Back at Sauerland Over "Sour G****s"

[jtiger78]

So that knockdown in round 10 was a slip, eh?

Talk about delusional...

Also a round is 3 minutes, not 1 minute. At this stage of the fight, Abraham was chasing down Dirrell, then letting his hands go. Dirrell, after 60s rest, was always going to be more mobile at the start of the rounds.

no it wasnt a slip it was a knockdown... still doesnt take away the fact dirrell outclassed him for the majority of the fight give dirrell his props.

Total ignorance.

Jermaine Taylor was schooling Froch until round 12.

Dirrell had been knocked down in round 10, bizarrely waved off as a slip. Why would you think there was no chance he would get hit and go down again?

His punch rate had dropped, he was entering survival mode, and was in danger.

Still, totally agree with the DQ although not quite the 'heinous' bit. I don't think it was as intentional as people make out. Look at RJJ and his DQ, or Haye against Barrett, it happens. These guys are in a fight. Sometimes that split second and the urge to punch get between the rational though process and the fist flies instinctively at the target.

Jermain schooled who?

Jermain took the first 5 rounds after that he gassed out past the 5th and stood almost still the rest of the fight. Neither fighter dominated although Taylor was more active (but he didn't really land anything). Abraham was ahead on the scorecards when the KO happened. Taylor needed a knock-out to win the fight.

So, as for Taylor schooling: Did not happen.

Yes, Abraham didn't get the KD in the 10th but Dirrell didn't get his either in the 7th...

Why do the Abraham huggers keep mentioning how he knocks a lot of people out late?

Please name any other opponent that was giving him as bad a beating as Dirrell. Dirrell was making him miss constantly, getting through his guard with ease, breaking his body down and even dropped his ass twice. Dirrell was controlling the fight and the momentum, stunning Abraham and making him reset whenever he felt like it. I'm tired of hearing "this looked just like the first 10 rounds of any Abraham fight, hurr hurr hurr!" excuse, it's bull****.

agreed completly.

dirrel knocked him down a second time, aa went flying into the ropes and they kept him up, in the rules that is a knockdown.

i think dirrel was going to knock him out, maybe not that round but the 12th, or get a medical stoppage due to the cut

why dont people just be honest and admit dirrel put on a boxing clinic

No it was NOT a knockdown

check the rules, dirrel's right foot slid due to aa corner and he went down on one knee and then the left and aslo starting to reach with his left glove for the canvas to get back up when douche bag AA hit him with one of the cheapest shots in boxing.

Truth is that he slipped and was down, the punch didnt take him down

[amayseng]

based on what? ppl say dirrell was fading badly but thats not true, he just knew he had the fight won and was smart enough not to take any ****** risks. abraham needed a KO from round 6-7 and on, all he did was punch big holes in the air. and that includes the 11th round, except for the illegal punch ofcourse.

why would dirrell be KTFO? he took abrahams best legal shots so far. ppl act like just cuz he went down he was hurt, but thats not the case. he jumped right up and went to work offensively. abraham was hurt worse when he got dropped, its more likely abraham wouldve been caught rushing in and put on his ass again in the 12th than that dirrell would be stopped.

he wasnt fading, he was still too fast, smart and skilled for abraham. if arthur thought he had him why would he throw that punch? he knew the fight was lost and got frustrated.

im a fan of abraham but every fighter can take a L, i dont know why some fans cant accept that. dirrell was clearly the better fighter, give him his props. abraham will be back, it just wasnt his night.

man i agree, how in the world could he be FADING????

just because he was a bit tired and not throwing 80 punches a round?
he let off the gas a bit because AA was running at him really putting pressure.

it is embarrassing and shameful the things people say on here.
you can truly spot out who has never fought or even played a sport before.

give the man DIRREL his props, he put on a boxing clinic and i think would have stopped AA in the 12th because that cut was bad.

the damn doctor was suppose to look at the cut not treat it and stop the bleeding that was WRONG.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

lol what?? the 11th was looking like every other round...AA missing and dirrell taggin his ass...does anyone have a vid of the 11th?

I'm glad you saw the same fight that I saw(twice). Andre was treating AA(like a red-headed step-child) the same way he did in the 9th round and every round before it. He was going to box smartly and stay away from exchanging toe to toe with AA and coast to a UD. I dont understand why some people cant see it for what it is AD outclassing, and outboxing AA completely.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Is it me or is NOBODY mentioning the extra help that Arthur got from the ringside Physicians? You know the Docs who doctored his cut for him so that he could get out of the round when Andre was peppering him with solid straight double lefts, and started to mount an attack to try and put AA away.

i agree, the doctor is not allowed to put pressure on the cut and stop the bleeding.
he is only allowed to clear the outside blood to see how deep the cut is

[ChopperRead]

AD was the one running away so how can AA be the coward? Shaw should be thanking Laurence Cole

Dirrell was as you said going into his "Gumby" act so you know he was in trouble. I thought he was was going to be ktfo in the 12th. But that little tap on the chin by Arthur gave Gumby a way out.

Want to see a guy REALLY get hit --twice --while he's down?:

Try 4:13 of this clip:

And Cameron STILL came out for round two. What Gumby got from AA was a love tap compared to those bombs from Tua.
