I agree. Up until the stoppage it was an excellent fight, Direll doing his thing & Abraham landing real hard shots near the end. My only problem with it is that , for whatever reason, we were robbed of the last 2 rounds. If the fight had gone the distance it could have been truely classic.

Thats why it will make for a great rematch, Arthur Abraham vs Andre Dirrell Unfinished Business. Fans we cheated of the last 2 rounds of what could have been a great fight for either man. Arthur cheated himself from eventually coming from behind with a KO and Dirrell was cheated from winning the best fight against his stiffiest opposition.

I dont think the fight was a classic. It might have been if we had the last 2 rounds. It wasn't a classic because Dirrell was so dominant, but you can say it was shaping up to be a classic due to the pressure AA put on so who knows what the last 1½ rounds would have brought.

i agree. add the upset factor to the way dirrell put on a master class performance and it was a true classic. you rarely see anybody put on a performance that truly captures the sweet science the way dirrell did, and for someone so young and untested doing it against a guy perceived as a monster pulling of a huge upset in the process.. classic.

especially if dirrell goes down as a great fighter one day, which i think he might if the KO didnt ruin his chin. if he does then this fight will be one of the matrix classic fights.
