Pavlik was very classy in defeat, unlike Kessler/Abraham

Agreed. I was only referencing the post fight interviews. People are taking this out of context.

Can we all at least agree that Abraham showed no class in losing to Dirrell?

Yeah, Abraham's post fight interview was pretty bad, especially after he saw the replay and still didn't think Dirrell was down.

Every fighter can get angry after a loss and say things they normally would not. Sometimes a fighter feels cheated, fouled, robbed, etc. They vent their frustration just like any human being would.

Sometimes that same fighter just had a bad fight. The roulette of luck didn't tip their way and they know they lost a fair fight and give props where it is due.

No fighter can be gracious 100% of the time. They are just human and are filled with emotion. They cannot always be robots and always nice. Sometimes they just get mad and scream injustice.

It is all about circumstances and timing.

As far as I could tell too, BHOP didn't even excessively clinch or try to use his head as a weapon against Pavlik. Pavlik fought a BHOP who didn't even use dirty tactics to beat his ass! Atleast the parts of the fight I caught, I forget if I watched the whole thing. But I remember from the parts I did see of the fight, that BHOP fought clean for the most part.

Yeah Pavlik was the one hitting while holding and throwing lowblows.

Pavlik was a cry-baby when he lost to BHOP.

and bernard hopkins bitches everytime he loses and he even bitches when he wins like he did against roy jones, all that guy does outside of the ring is complain.

define class. he was pissed off about a situation he thought was unfair. dirrell's known for falling to avoid fighting. he was feeling a lot of frustration because dirrell was wasting time.
