Why was Dirrell losing against Yildirim?

[kushking]

The ts is a saul sausage stuffer. Somebody should ban his bs posts.

I'm not defending TS,but did Dirrell Quit or not? Is he not from a long lineage of sucker punching,cheaters who quit to get opponents DQ'd or robbed?

[kushking]

Whether he quit or not is irrelevant, we all know what the Dirrell Bro’s are about...

Point is Yildirim was not winning that fight like the OP was suggesting. He was competitive but he wasn’t winning clearly like what has been implied.

Ok we're in agreement that Dirrell was barely winning on the cards,but he also was letting Avni into the fight late on(& yes Avni is a headfirst Brawler himself who likes to maul opponents like Smith Jr does) But bottom line is Dirrell didn't deserve that win when he quit. There should be a new rule in boxing to stop fighters from quit winning when they're not profusely bleeding into the eye.

Not sure of any rational boxing fan who supports either Dirrel brother.

Bull fckin sht,That quitter does what his fam does best,QUIT! Dirrell was winning so badly that he cheated to rob his opponent of his rightful win. (It was obvious Quiterrell wanted out instead of losing as he was going to) corner literally wanted him to quit ffs,this is not much different than the Uzcat fight where his brother Andre cheated to quit rather than lose like a man,then his uncle sucker punched Uzcat & ran away like the coward that runs in his blood... But justice was done in both cases the next fight when both Dirrels couldn't find a way to quit win.

The thing is that both Dirrels could be elite if they had more heart,they just don't have the mental toughness to mix it up with the best even though their abilities are decent,they lack mental toughness

I think Andre could have been elite, not Anthony. But they're both soft upstairs. The Froch robberty ruined Andre. I wouldn't sign to fight a 12 rounder against either one, because they'd look for a way out once they got ahead of the cards.


That being said though, the point I was trying to make, is if you look at the scorecards for the fight, if Yildrim had won every remaining round, the best that would have happened was a draw.

Not at all, I was merely pointing out the scorecards at the time of the stoppage.

Ok I get it,& I agree yes he was winning the fight til stoppage,the fight Dr gave him a way out & he took the easy win.

Believe it or not I was a fan of both til they shamed themselves,Andre throws some nasty looping right hooks,I never understood why they don't change their style to keep distance more,thats boths biggest weakness they let brawlers in too close

They’re both a poignant example of “talent will only get you so far...”

Andre was definitely the better one but probably had even less heart that Anthony.

Andre did beat Froch though IMO.

Yeah Andre clearly won that fight despite his negative tactics. Blatant robbery IMO.
