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

[Calilloyd]

Look at it again and you will see no part of the glove touched him...plus you can hit with only the padding part of the glove so the taped wrist area is off limits too

AA should not have trown that punch so late, that was a good DQ. So stop bitchin AA. With that said, I am so sick of all these guys looking for a way out of a fight the first chance they get. You could see Bernard was looking for the DQ against Jones, Dirrell put on a Oscar winning performance, Campbell played the rule book and so did Guerrero, Ortiz plainly gave up. This is an ugly trend that needs to stop. Hmm just noticed most quiters fight for GBP

This bit I completely agree with.

5 minutes??? the man was confused and had to be helped out of the ring. he thought he had lost the fight and had to be told he won. the illegal blow from AA should not be rewarded. he was rightfully dq'd

I watched the end of the fight many times and what Andre says is "I was dropped man, he hit me when I was down." He even said lets finish this thing. He knew he won. He knew Arthur got DQ'd. He just changed his story later on and made a complete fool out of himself.

operations on the jaw are NOT the most dangerous of all.... you are tooo funny so the heart, the brain, the spine, different organ transplants, cabg, grafts, blood vesels, out of all these and PLENTY more, you pick the jaw as the most dangerous of all. you must be AA's number one fan to say some crazy stuff like that. you are funny

What are you smoking?????
First of all, he said "Operations on the jaw are among the most dangerous of all."
The jaw is one of the most delicate bones in the body and its extremely painful to endure. Take a hammer and smash your jaw with it, go get surgery and tell me it isn't the most painful thing you have experienced.

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.

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.

Any respect I had for AA is completely gone now. I hope he eats a cheap shot that he does not see from a puncher and gets KTFO and see how he likes it.

Ok, I dare any of you to find anything negative Arthur said about this fight or AD after the day was over. How can you classless clowns even blame the guy for anything. He has accepted his defeat and even apologized to Andre. Americans are always the first to open their mouth and judge people for nothing. Arthur hasn't said one word about this fight. He hasn't denied anything. If your going to blame anyone, blame Sauerland. And if any of you were in Sauerlands position, you would have done the same thing. Thats what happens when controversy strikes, you hope to clear it up by doing it again or reversing a call.

I watched the fight for the first time the 2 days ago. Dirrell won 10 straight rounds. Then Arthur decks him while hes down on the ground. He was not faking it. When the announcer asked Dirrell what happened. (Dirrell while crying says) "I got caught man." Then his corner and his people yell at him, "No you didn't, he hit you while you were down." Then Dirrell looks at the announcer with an unsure face and says "No he hit me when I was down."

That sequence told me everything. Dirrell didn't really know what happened in there. He thought he got KO'd, and then just repeated what his corner was telling him. He got clocked and he was not in his right mind.

In closing, Dirrell owned AA for 10 rounds. He was running at the end, but nothing like De la hoya vs Trinidad. He def slipped, and then AA bent down and hit him in the Jaw. It was sick.

How anyone is arguing for AA is beyond my comprehension. He got dominated by a better boxer, and then intentionally hit him while on the ground. He didn't win a single round 1-10. Hes not better than Dirrell period. If he was he wouldn't of been shut out for 10 rounds and bloodied up. I mean common, the doctor had to stop the fight and tend to him because he was getting punished by dirrell in there.

they need to stop acting so shocked worse things have happend in boxing fighters have died and mike tyson bit off holyfields ear so a guy who likes to run got cheap shotted its not the first or last time it will happen its boxing emotions flur and ppl get aggravated, so let dirrell have the fight it will probably be the highlight of his career since i dont see him fighting anyone else whos not gonna throw back! its good for the sport lol

Its funny how all that running Dirrell did in there made the Doctor have to stop the fight and tend to AA's battered face. If running can do that to a guys face then I now condone running in boxing.

Idiot it was due to a unintentional head butt

Apealing calls happens all the time. Sauerland and Abraham's team are not dumb enough to believe anything will be changed. This is all promotion. By creating controversy around this fight, they are increasing interest in a possible rematch down the road. These are also psychological games on the public who has not watched the bout or does not have much knowledge about boxing. By seeing the headlines about apealing a unfair decision (especially in Germany) the casual joe will start thinking "Hey, this Arthur dude probably did win, but you know how US judging is."
Sauerland is far from a saint, it comes with being a boxing promoter.

I also doubt Abraham had a hand in this. Its up to his promoters. He did come around as a bit of a sore loser after the fight, but who wouldn't be. Everyone has that initial shock after their first defeat where they will deny that the earth is round. He has gotten over it by now I hope.

No, it was due to intentional face punching by Dirrell.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt you damned fool.

[dans]

Sauerland is going to ruin the Super 6. Them and Goosen.

This is a bull**** protest and shouldn't matter.

Abraham deserved to be DQed regardless of anything that happened. A bunch of sore losers who are pissy because they can't fight every fight in the confines of Germany.

I like Abraham but he was classless along with his team after the fight.
