are u guys kidding me??? Dirrel slipped, and took a shot. not a massive shot either. You can actually see him start to say, Oh man" and then he fell over and took the disqual. Don't get me wrong. He should be disqualified, But No way did Dirrel want anymore of Abraham. All he needed was 1 more round and dirrell was done.
That knockdown from abraham. he was off balance.
Bro...Abe was fighting dirty with that head under his arm and droppin body shots around the 4th...forget what round. Complaining about body shots that were legal. Dude got desperate and paid the price. Maybe that shit'll fly in Germany, but not here. What about the knockdown Cole didn't call at the end of the 7th? Ropes can't help you up...knockdown, period.
Abraham's fundamentals are off and thats why he did the nestea plunge in the 4th. If he wasn't in trouble why was he running for the rest of the round?
I used to box and hooks to the side of the chin do serious damage. I've knocked guys out on the street with left hooks so fucking hard they told the cops they got hit with a pipe...true story.
You can't bank on a guy winning in the last round. Abraham was starting to find his mark with the right hands I'll admit, but fighters adapt man. Abraham caught him with a few rights early in the fight and Andre adjusted. Just cuz you take a few doesn't mean its going to keep happening...thats why is called boxing.
Reason I'm getting so hot is I'm sick and tired with the haters poppin off Dirrell is a runner, hugger, no chin...what have you. Dude showed big improvements in this fight. Watch the replay...his chin spun.
