The first 10 rounds were exactly what I predicted they'd be in all my posts. The 11th round was weird. But after watching a few times, it's apparent Dirrell was not acting. And I had doubts at first, but no one acts like that after a fight unless they're either the most dedicated liar in the world or they're really hurt. When I made the Dirrell bet as a +160 underdog i had a great feeling about it. just like in my bet on Malignaggi when he fought Diaz a second time.
Also, anyone who thinks Abraham was ready to KO Dirrell.... I just don't see it. He was moving in, that's true, but Dirrell was still moving faster. Dirrell may have been in trouble, but to say a KO was more than 20-30% likely, i have to say I think you were watching a different fight. Abraham moved Dirrell to the ropes all fight, and each time Dirrell boxed his way back to the center of the ring. So please don't make it like the fight was taking some dramatic turn.
