AA wasn't there to win any rounds.

[H3K]

Oh my god Jack.

Of course he was there to win rounds. Just because he's a slow starter doesn't mean his strategy is to give away 9 of the first 10 rounds and knock him out late. It's asinine to think that.

In the 7th and 8th you could hear the absolute panic in his corner and you could see it all over Abe's face.

AA is a slow starter that always goes for the KO....that doesn't mean he just has no problems giving away rounds. That's an excuse for getting taken to school.

If that was the case he would have lost to Lajuan Simon, Kofi Jantuah, and Shannan Taylor because he didn't finish them, but apparently he went way off his game plans because he actually won enough rounds to win the fight.

Who woulda thought?

Well said. I think that just about owns Roy + his lame thread.

Karma sent.

Man, if I knew I was gonna slug it out w/ a bunch of dudes at a bar, I'd want AA walking next to me.

The dude is a baaaaaaad asss.

Exactly. He dosen't back down. He is a true warrior who does what has to be done.

AA fought the way he typically fights. The only problem is this: There's nothing wrong with believing that you can score a late KO, but Dirrell showed the ability to make AA miss at times and also put 3 and 4 punch combos in AA face to throw off his timing. I don't think AA would KO'd him but I do believe he was winning the 11th and would have also won the 12th. The problem was his doesn't allow him to be active enough to win the early and mid rounds. I like a guy that goes for the KO but you can't allow that to be the only way you can win a fight because there are strategies that can be employed to counter AA KO strategy. Dirrell simply has a style gives AA problems, That punch to DIrrell while he down was probably out of frustration more than anything. I'm looking forward to seeing AA and Froch. That one should be a classic.

Quoted for truth.

Abraham had been down on the cards going into the 12th many times before, and then crushed his opponent, he had Dirrell on the run and was landing more and more, now I cant say he would of KO'd him, but it WAS typical Arthur Abraham performance from my viewpoint.

Also I jokingly said before the fight how great it would be if Dirrell cried, i never imagined it would actually happen.

I did feel a little sorry for him though, i'm not as evil as you jack.

Quoted for...bull****

I've seen his fights since he fought Thomas Vican back in 2003. That was his TV debut - when his fight got aired on ARD for the first time. His game-plan is simple because he is not a good boxer. However, he knows his own limitations.

You guys think his plan was to let Dirrell control the fight, lose 9-10 rounds, watch Dirrell gas out and then get the KO? It wasn't. If you understood German then you would know that Wegner yelled at him in the corner saying that he needed to let his punches go and that he couldn't stay passive. That was even early in the fight. Also, Wegner said prior to the fight that they had to switch it up because Dirrell's stamina is better than Jermain's. Arthur needed to work early.

Dirrell didn't let Abraham take control because he used his movement and jab.

Abraham had 1-2 average rounds. He tried to hunt Dirrell down in the 11th without landing ANYTHING except for an illegal blow.

Roy, you don't give a **** about Arthur Abraham. You're just trying to start controversy.

I knew he wouldn't win many rounds, I said he'd get dominated.

You're very close to testing my patience.

He has no problem giving away rounds. He said it himself.

See my post where I quote the great Osiris.

AA wasn't there to win rounds. Stylistically speaking, he was gunning for the k.o from the start.

His goal was not to hope Dirrell gassed out.

His goal was to break him down and finish him late.

Which he did.

Arthur nuthuggers are taking over the *******s .

I wank to how Abraham was made to look like a complete bum and amateur for 10 rounds. Dirrell dominated him.

You should wank more often.

After the fight Abraham wasen't the one lying unconcious on the floor. Abraham must have felt very dominated looking down on the weeping Dirrel...
