Comments Thread For: Arthur Abraham's Team Files Protest on Andre Dirrell Loss

[Tiozzo]

What a little ***** AA is. It is new to him. We already knew what a bunch of *******s the Sauerland clan is, but I'm really disappointed in AA.

Even when they can't cheat on home turf, where it is easy, the Germans try to cheat their way to victory, bending the rules and complaining.

According to a report in bild, Sauerland Event, promoters for Arthur Abraham, have officially protested the fighter's disqualification loss to Andre Dirrell. The fight took place on March 27 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Sauerland filed a protest with the WBC. The disqualified call was issued in the eleventh round when Dirrell slipped to the mat and Abraham hit him while still down. [Click Here To Read More]

Chances of a new fight or change in the result appears slim.

They are wasting there time as they have got no chance of overturning it,and it shouldnt be overturned. Dirrell has acted like a bender in has last two fights though.

Wow AA.. I was just starting to get over you're classless acts.. Now you do this. Jesus.

AA is a cool guy, but WTF is al this.

I like AA but there really is no point to this protest, there is no way in hell that fight could or should end as anything but a DQ. Abraham's team just needs to accept the loss and move on.

I think Abraham is a beast and comes across as a nice guy but this is just pathetic. Drop it, move on, take your L like a man, go for a trip to Herning on April 24th and scout your next opponent. At worst he could find himself in 3rd at the end of round 2 in the Super Six. I personally think Dirrell was play acting over how badly he was hurt by the DQ punch but at the end of the day it was AA's who threw the punch that gave Dirrell the chance to put in the oscar winning performance.

The King Is Dead

Abraham watched in glee as Andre's entire frame twiched from potential brain and nerve damage inspired by one of the cheapest shots I have ever encountered in the game. It was terrifying to witness and is now revisited in just as horrid a fashion in the form of this protest by a coward who lacks humility as well as fistic skill.
Put a fork in him. He's done. Dirrell drew the blueprint on how to disect this bully and every pugilist with a DVD player can now aquire that magic.

Wtf

Before this fight I was trying to support AA. I respected the fact that he was trying to get fans in the US to support him and respect his fighting skills. However, his excuses after the Dirrell fight now, and immediately after the fight when he was questioned about the decission in the ring FROG this Bestard. He claimed in the ring that Dirrell was acting. First of all, take out all the fouls, from both fighters and AA got his You know what whipped that night. This was not a close fight that the DQ helped Dirrell win. He was clearly winning the fight in my opinion up to the DQ. Through the 11th round, I only scored 1 round for him, 1 round I said. AD was outboxing and outworking him. Arthur was trying to hit Dirrell with haymakers and none really landed. In the 11th round, he clearly hit a guy who basically on the ground, it wasn't even close to being questionable. It's not the referee job to be there before you hit someone on the ground, it's your job Arthur to know the rules. I am really pssed off and upset that this dude and his people would even attempt to twist the fight around. I mean all of this could have been avoided if he would have just said I made a mistake, I didn't know he was down and move on to the next fight. What I am seeing is this, AA and Mikel Kissler both made all kinds of excuses when they both loss. It seems more typical of our fighters (US) to make excusses, but these guys are simply making excusses. I like to respect other fighters, even if they are not from here, but these guys, especially AA show no class and are simply poor losers. I hope the American fighters continue to do well and whip their crying asses and don't even get me started on Carl (overated) Froch.

Hey I don't hate AA for what he did it was the heat of battle and **** happens.But he was wrong none the less take the DQ like a man you did the wrong thing move on.
