Was AA on his way to stopping Dirrell?

[P.WILL]

It's impossible to know, I'm sure Dirrell still had 4 minutes of fight in him to win.

I agree, he was very close but if he stayed away he could have made it out ok

Dirrell's legs were damn near gone, I think AA was gonna get to him and get to him brutally. Andre felt it coming, there is no other explanation for him faking a KO.

after reviewing many many times my conclusion is that the foot placement was negligible in relationship to the punch in the 10th round. that means, dirrell did not trip over abrahams foot. he tripped over a right cross.
next round the true misfortune. the slip occured directly after a landed abraham jab. the argument could have been made that it wasn't a slip at all. in the split second when andre fell before abraham threw the late shot, i was calling to the ref thru the tv set to rule it a knock down due to the flush jab.
now say what you want about the canvas being slippery or point to dirrells foot sliding, realise you are talking about a tapdancer.
that is a guy who slipped at the moment he was being cornered. he had a ref. who had already reversed reality on a knock down.
dirrell had 5 more minutes to go. if abraham had played fair, then how many times would dirrell have been cornered, and slipped and fell in the last 5.

It could've happened but I doubt it would've even if Dirrell would've gotten up instead of going for the oscar.

Interesting.... Now let me interpret this for the simpletons: Dirrell was 'bout to get KTFO and he knew it.

[Heru]

Abraham wasn't even able to catch him a minute into the 11th round. A minute into the 11th round, Dirrell was untouched.

That does not sound like someone who was on his way to getting knocked out. Sounds more like he regained control and was on his way to winning the round.

[KESSLER]

Yes, I think he was.

[H3K]

How is the poll even so ****ing close?

No he wasn't on his way to KO'ing Dirrell at all. No way.

My guess is the people still in shock/denial of AA's loss have logged in on numerous different accounts, in order to click "YES".

**** .

[Hi-Dro]

honestly im unsure

i was thinking the same as u perro but since direll pulled a spectacular performance im going to have to give him the benefit of the doubt
