    So wait..wait..Arthur Abraham and co want to get the decision reversed because the ref didnt come in the way of ARTHUR throwing an ILLEGAL blow? Wether or not the ref was there,Arthur shouldent have threw the punch in the first damn place!!! Hes got the nerve to ask for a reverse because the ref didnt warn Dirrel for low blows ( i only seen one legit low blow ) and because the ref didnt award a KD to Abraham,even tho Abraham got knocked down AGAIN wich the ref ruled a slip!!! What does any of this have to do with ABRAHAM HITTING DIRREL WHILE HE WAS DOWN,how can they change the decision? this is laughable

      Exactly, why would anyone try to estimate how hard the punch was. The fact of the matter is he hit someone who was clearly on the gound. I mean technically, even if he was standing that would have been a low blow. This is ridiculas for anybody to make an excuse for Arthur's foul. Thing is, DUDE WAS LOSING THE FIGHT CLEARLY BEFORE HE WAS DQ'ED. It's not like it was a close fight or Arthur was winning that DQ caused him to lose. Arthur and his people should focus on the fact that he was getting lit it prior to the DQ.

        Sauerland just doesn't know how to react to both of their fighters getting badly beaten in their first trip to the States.

        And I hardly think that this is merely a statement about the referees. Obviously with 2 very flawed fighters Sauerland is gonna need some ****ty ass German Refs to pull their fighters through at some point.

        They're not gonna do anything that takes away their ability to choose bogus officials if and when AA has to come back to Germany to fight.

        I also would wait and hold onto my pants until after the Kessler-Froch fight before determining how honest a referee the Sauerlands truly desire. I am pretty sure they will have a referee in the ring that will DQ Froch in 6 rounds if he does the things against Kessler that he did against Dirrell.

            People are ******. I would say 90% of the people on this forum would give up in a fight if someone with them with a good hard jab. They've never been punched in the face once, much less blindsided by a cheap shot while on their knees.

            I feel pretty confident that if everyone on this site got down on their knees I could put 95% of them into convulsions with a blind sided uppercut to their jaw.

            And nobody ranks my p4p power either.

                Abraham's team should not push through with this protest.

                They were clearly losing the fight anyway, no matter what, on any of the scorecards.

                This protest makes them look bad.

                Abraham, tell your team to STFU and take the loss like a man !

                  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.

                    That is a bad idea on their part. Abraham clearly fouled Dirrell, knockdown or no knockdown. They arent going to win.
                    This is just going to make them look worse. Its also pointing a finger at Abraham's tendency to expect favoritism when it comes to bodyshots.

                      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
