just rewatched the 11th round....

[Amazinger]

1. I noticed that that was the same spot dirrell slipped in earlier in the fight.

2. The only reason he slipped is b/c he stopped & planted his feet to throw a counter left down the pipe & aa was wide open for it. watch it again you will see that the left was at aa face while he was falling.

3. Aa didn't land **** worth talking about in that round beside the dq blow

Someone actually ask this before Does Abraham need to KO Dirrell to win the fight?.due to hometown decision

Well the answer is even a knock out can't beat the hometown decision.

And TS did you really think he slipped..Abraham landed one that's why he looked like he slipped.

Dirrell should get the best supporting actor for this.

"What happen man .what happen man......
You got knocked out but you won bro ...

If you watch ONLY the 10th and 11th rounds, it's a completely different fight. To say the tide was turning is an understatement. Gotta hand it to Dirrell for a great performance earlier on but I reckon he was getting KTFO in the 12th.

Agreed. He looked done to me, and I thought he was going to get stopped in the 11th or 12th.

[johnm is...]

Hilarious.. Dirrell kicks AA's ass for the entire fight... Abraham has ONE good round, and suddenly he was going to knock Dirrell out in the 12th?

You guys are too much.

[flipbjefrox]

dirrell laid on the mat with eyes shut and twitching, yet he suffered no concussion? sounds su****ious to me

[gqjohnb]

I have to disagree with you reed
He got hit flush just minutes earlier and it had literally no effect
the punch that knocked him down was harder and it appeared that Dirrell slipped then the punch that AA landed while D was down wasnt flush
you mean to tell me that AA punches are harder when they arent flush?

Dirrell deserves an Oscar

Yall just don't get it... first of all Have you never heard that the punches you don't see coming are the most damaging... there's a reason for that... when you see a punch coming you tense up involuntarily in your neck, your jaw, and your core in a nutshell when you do that it braces yourself for the punch your body better absorbs it and you take less damage. Dirrell on the other hand was on the ground having SLIPPED(you can tell he slipped there is a perfect camera angle to see him plant his foot and it slide right from underneath him) and was not looking at AA and was clipped right on the jaw with a free shot. Second of all That was not a glancing blow like is being said and when you get hit directly in the jaw without you knowing from a guy as strong and obviously with the hard punching mechanics of AA(from his rediculously high KO %) the body doesn't need to be behind the punch to do damage. While I do admit Dirrell often fall when he's in the corner and trying to clinch if you saw the replay you would clearly see this was not the case. Guys like you don't really have a respect for this sport and its athletes and maybe you should do your homework a little more before you accuse a guy who just proved he is a world class athlete of faking.

Would you agree there is a difference between taking a punch when facing someone, and taking a punch on your knee, looking at nothing, not expecting anything?

It's unbelievable really...

[El 7 Mares V.2]

Don't even attempt to come at me with that racist BS.

Oh are you going to report me now like you have done in the past prick?

[AKATheMack]

Dirrell made AA look like a sparring partner for 30 minutes and decided to coast the last 2 rounds. Completely different than the tide changing and him getting his ass kicked he just took a break. That was one of the best performances Ive seen from any boxer in quite a while. And for anyone saying it was an arm punch with no leverage watch any KO punch George Foreman ever threw. When you have that kind of power its not uncommon to KO somebody with an arm punch let alone a defenseless man on his knees.

When did I report you?

And no?
