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

They need to just fight a rematch with a competent ref and forget this ever happened. Laurence Cole is the Worst ****ing ref EVER. Seriously someone get him fired.

I protest Abe's dancing skills.....I'm watching the German version of Dancing with the Stars right now and this mofo is in last place

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

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

Neither is talking out of ur ass.
Unfortunatley I cant find the showtime version of the match that claerly shows the clash of heads

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.

there should be a rematch.

I really think he played the late hit up and forced the ref to stop it by DQ. And after watching Fightcamp 360 it was pretty crappy thing to do his mom and brother were really scared that Andre was injured badly.

Maybe demanding an immediate rematch or something would sound more classy? I believe Abraham's presents would have been felt in those final rounds but because he acted out of desperation or something and decided to land that illegal blow, it was his loss. Instead of this protest, he should try to get an immediate rematch with Dirrell to settle this fight legit. To me, Direll was winning most of the fight but those later rounds looked very unsteady for him. Abahram had easily a 90% chance of winning by KO had he not been ******.

That was a clear as day DQ, what could they even change it to...the scorecards were all heavily FOR Dirrell also. Just accept your loss like a man and stop bitchin!

Dirrell won and deserves his points (he should have 2 wins in this tournament but thats a different topic)

[AKATheMack]

Drop the DQ and take it to the scorecards at the time the fight was stopped.

[ShoulderRoll]

You hit Dirrell late, Abraham. It's your fault. There is nothing to protest so quit being a *****.

[Drunk Punch]

Haha so now, because the ref didn't dive in front of Dirrell, AA was forced to hit him illegally on the floor. This is funny, no sad. Give it up Team Sauerland.

You hit Dirrell late, Abraham. It's your fault. There is nothing to protest so quit being a *****.

He is protesting the American ref that did a horrible job and made the fight frustrating for him.
