Dirrells Rep Restored: "Threw Himself On The Floor" vs Froch? Faked Abraham Injury?

[_original_]

He fought hard today. He knew he was down so he started walking him down and throwing combos. Put a string of 4 straight rounds together before falling flat before the last 2.

I actually thought he took the 12th round, not sure why a lot of posters say he lost it big. That was very close and I felt that Dirrell did enough to nick it as DeGale barley did anything. He did lose the 11th clearly, though.

I just don't want to hear anymore that he is some kind of punk *****, he may have lost today but he certainly proved a lot of people wrong about what he is made of.

He can certainly come back from this, and hopefully it motivates him.

its crazy how AD gets accused of faking when Abraham CLEARLY hit the man while he was down....it's ok to get fouled as long as you keep rumbling right?...smh....AD got a bad rep because someone hit him while he was down...WTF is wrong with people

all people remember is how he kept hitting the canvas against Froch but NOBODY saw him hurt Froch and win the fight?...fight was kinda close and Froch is my guy but Dirrell won 7 or 8 rounds imo

I won't disrespect anyone who laces them up for a living...however, he was throwing himself on the floor against Froch (Froch threw him on the floor because Dirrell kept trying to hold him) and he faked that Abraham situation (how PBC gonna play it up like Dirrell was out for 2 years because of it?)...in the late rounds of tonight's fight he did like Andre Ward and started pushing DeGale in the ropes and holding. He fought hard tonight - I had it 115-113 DeGale (that 117-109 card was ridiculous).
