Dirrell was NOT in trouble, watch rounds 10+11 again

[Zarco]

honestly, I thought AA was coming on strong and dirrell started to get sloppy and get tagged... but that doesn't matter because AA disqualified himself.

You must watch the rounds man. Direll was boxing beutifully, Abraham landed nothing of significance besides that flash KD.

I agree, dirrell looked perfectly fine in round 11 and abraham didn't land ****.

Its a psychological effect man, a psychological effect stemming from this:

If Dirrell was not in in trouble in round 10 and 11 then why did he totally change the way he fought in comparision in his previous rounds? When he took hits he was actually running and was dazed in round 10 because of it. In round 11 he was just running but it only lasted around one minute

I aint a fan of either but not enough people are being fair here, the fight was clearly still 50-50 in terms of the outcome, yes Dirrell was winning the fight but there was a 50-50 chance at a ko for Abraham or a points win for Dirrell

Momentum in Abrahams favor? Abraham was getting out boxed in round 10, after that flash KD by Abraham, there was a minute left in the round, Abraham landed 4 punches non of which were significant. In the 11th, Abraham landed 0 punches. Dirrell had it in the bag.

That's your opinion.

Abraham to me won the 10th rather clearly.Dirrell was winning it up to the uncalled KD because Abraham wasn't letting his hands go and Dirrell's combos were mostly getting blocked,one particualr shot got in,a left straight, but after that he didn't do anything,Abraham caught him on the ropes several times and fired more significant shots imo.

I thought Abraham was comming on a bit but I also do not think he was really getting that much done. Abraham is never out of a fight but it seemed like that Dirrell was on his way to winning as he didn't seem in that much trouble.

He certainly did not seem in enough trouble to concoct a crazy scheme to end the fight. He seemed pretty confident also so I don't think the thought of him loosing was even in his mind.

Your right Zarco, alot of ppl do need to watch it again as Dirrell just before he slipped on the ad on the canvas was moving well and making AA look slow and foolish like he didn't belong in there with him.

Dirrell was most likely going to just run out the clock to a well deserved dominant UD before that happened.

Too many posters are giving AA credit for this assumed likelihood of him stopping Dirrell because of his power which Dirrell neutralized the entire fight.

He was a lock to win. He wasnt going to trade like the early rds.

Then how come he got knocked down and dazed (jelly legs)?

I understand you are a dirrell fan but I believe I am being impartial here. The outcome was still up in the air, if it wasn't then the knockdown in the 10th would not have occurred.

watched it. AA was putting a lot of pressure on dirrell and started to land his right cross. I think dirrell was getting tired and his defense got a little sloppy and he was sitting on the ropes too much.
