    I know he took a shot when he was down and the ref was correct.

    But i'm only in here to say that Dirrell wanted no more of Abraham.

    He was starting to lay it in.

    Guys. watch the slip. After Dirrell was hit, Wach his face. he wasn't hurt.............

    You know what? Good luck to him. Whatever it takes.

    If there is a rematch, i'm laying it in hard on Abraham.

    When Gray tried to interbiew him, he was still acting, and his camp was sucking his ass. His (dirrell) camp must be bigger idiots than him.

    He overacted. The minute the ref said "it's ova", i'd be like, "lets go home."

    I do believe he didn't want anymore of Abraham I do think Abraham would of KO'd him but not sure if he faked it, the legs shaking are hard to fake... at first glance it looks like he didn't get hurt by it, was a delayed reaction even though it wasn't a temple shot.

    Either way he would have been DQ'd,If Dirrell did fake it that's a horrible way to end a fight.

    There will be no rematch Abraham must face Froch next.

    Watch Dirrell after he gets hit. He says something like "wow" then pulls his hand to his face and THEN he falls over like he is out. That looked like acting to me. I don't get why he did that though. Dirrell was so far ahead. He only needed to move like he was for another round and a half.

    Just make sure your not basing that off the slo-mo replay. I just saw the replay and that was legit. Watch it in real time. All that shit happened in nano-seconds.

    If he was acting, he's got a serious career in front of him. Tony's, grammy's...the works.

    Andre Dirrell should be nominated for? the Oscars, at first i took it he was knocked out cold, but after i saw in slow motion, i mean did he get fucked up the ass by Ronaldo,(Ronaldo holds the record for the longest dive in soccer), his corner werent treating him as though he were knocked out, but had just been F!@*ed by someone out of his senses.

    Morons, total morons who think Dirrell was acting. He was hit defenceless at close range from a Monsterous puncher. Listen to the impact for fcuk sake -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0LvAbRSIOA

    Those that don't think Dirrell was seriously hurt by that punch have never stepped in a boxing ring.

    ==============


    Your nuts, did you watch any of the post fight coverage.  The dude did not even know he won the fight.  He was trying to tell his corner, let me finish.  Then complaining about being hit late, and almost in tears because he thought he was robbed.  He CLEARLY had some serious concussion issues going on and was unsure what had happened even back in the locker 15-20 minutes later. 

    Guys. watch the slip. After Dirrell was hit, Wach his face. he wasn't hurt.............

    You know what? Good luck to him. Whatever it takes.

    If there is a rematch, i'm laying it in hard on Abraham.

    When Gray tried to interbiew him, he was still acting, and his camp was sucking his ass. His (dirrell) camp must be bigger idiots than him.

    He overacted. The minute the ref said "it's ova", i'd be like, "lets go home."

    Cut the bullshit about Dirrell acting.. the guy fought a great fight and its entirely possible his career, atleast at this level, is over because of a dirty hit by a frustrated sore loser.. 

    Congrats Dirrell backers

    Dirrell fought an awesome fight and deserved a better ending for his hometown fans and that was taken away by a clear cheap shot.

    Definitely should have been a DQ, it wasn't even a bang-bang play, Abraham saw him down (both knee and glove) and gave him a cheap shot.

    Definitely Dirrell dominated the fight, but Arthur was really picking up steam the last few rounds and still had a chance to catch him and completely got what he deserved.

    That being said, Dirrell DEFINITELY embellished the severity of the shot there is no question about it. 

    I am personally annoyed that the end of the fight took the focus off how the ref ruled two clear knockdowns as slips (when Arthur was clearly saved and held up by the ropes at the end of the round and when Arthur cracked Dirrell with a straight right when their feet were tangled up) that was brutal job by a usually solid referee.

    I thought the knockdown at the end of the 7th should have been called as such. But I just watched it in slo-motion and the inside of Dirrells glove hit the side of Abraham's neck. No punch, no knockdown...good call by Cole. Get a copy and slo-mo it. I used VLC...command -.

    Well said I had Abraham myself because I felt he would catch Dirrell late.

    Fact is Abraham was coming on strong but what he did was an automatic DQ.

    What people need to realize is Dirrell was 100 % defenseless.. and laying on the ground not only did Abraham get a ton of leverage on the punch but the guy was already on the floor.

    I give credit to Dirrell he is learning on the fly, he really never had tough fights, he did well against Froch and realized he held too much (he admitted it in a statement).

    Against Abraham he wasn't holding and landing good shots. many don't realize but he doesn't have many fights under his belt. He fought a bunch of tomato cans in his career.

    So to do what he did against Froch and Abraham ...is a big thing for him.

    So we won't know what could of happened.. if Dirrell would have lasted, but Abraham caused that all by himself by doing a cheap shot.

    Top it off when Jim Gray was interviewing him and he clearly saw he hit him way after he was down... he said "He was acting".


    Abraham needs to accept he was losing needed a knockout and was frustrated even though he was coming on strong no excuse for cheap shots.

    The fans are left without a finish, Dirrell is left without a memory of a finish, and Abraham got what he deserved because he let frustration get the best of him even if he was coming on and felt he was going to KO Dirrell.

    You KO the guy when he's standing not laying on the floor.

    I know many are frustrated because they lost on the OVER on Dirrell by decision, or Abraham by KO.. but fact is he got DQ'd for a cheap shot.

    I accept my loss even if it's for $50, faking it or not won't bring back anyone's money on the wager.

    Hope Dirrell isn't too injured, last we need is two American with two concussions!

    People saying that Dirrell is faking are insane, the guy took a clean punch from the hardest hitter in the division. Anybody that watches boxing knows that it sometimes takes a few seconds for a fighter to feel the effect of a KO punch.

    The guy was out of it and at one point thought he was KO'd and lost the fight. If anyone was trying to get out of the fight it was AA because he was getting owned all night and that punch was out of frustration

    When he got hit he was sitting for a moment and had the strength to lift both gloves to his face, then mailed it in.

    From Vivek Wallace on Eastside Boxing. Unlike you thoughts and some of the other fools on this forum that thought Dirrell was faking, he actually knows boxing..

    "I reviewed that frame more than 20x, (compliments of DVR), studying everything from their demeanor, to their body language and beyond, and I see no way possible that ANYONE can legitimately tell me that Abraham did not do that instinctively. I wouldn't say intentionally, but instinctively? Without question.....and his response only made it a bit more obvious, as he responded, "I wasn't watching his feet, I was watching his head". Pardon me, but it's a bit hard NOT to realize an opponent is suddenly 3 feet smaller than he was when you stood eye to eye going toe to toe. That being said, I still wouldn't condemn him widely, as anyone who has taken part in athletics can remember a time when the whistle blew a second (or two) after your eyes had locked on something, and in the heat of the moment you completed the act itself. I have. We've all done it. Whatever the case may be, Abraham did in fact act with instinct, but unlike many of the instances with many of us, his act could have cost a man his life.
    Some seem to think Dirrell was faking, but aside from reviewing the footage, those people need to ask themselves why would he go as far as crying in the ring, totally under the impression that he was KO'd in front of his fans. There was nothing staged about that, and the medical staff that gave the statement to the media could confirm this. Abraham's comments were totally out of place and his frustration at that point was very evident. Dirrell doesn't have the following to get him the benefit of the doubt in a case like this against a well known vet, but I think people need to commend him for having only 20 career pro fights and dominating a man who many talented men have failed to land cleanly on, let alone hold an uncontested lead on the cards"

    Hell, I think this whole thing was staged. Nobody really cares about this Super Six tournament. Maybe a little drama can make people watch it.
