Comments Thread For: Dirrell Drops King Arthur To Win, Suffers Brutal Knockout

abraham was robbed in this fight, he knocked dirrell down in round 10 but the referee didn't count it, and i think he staged the brutal knockout to get the win cause anyway he was going to get the knockout so he got the opportunity to pull the disqualification, and he used it. dirrell is a *****.

AA was hardly robbed. He got outboxed the whole fight bro. You are right about the uncounted KD, as I saw it and marked it down on my score sheet.

I have to say Dirrell fought better then he did with Froch.I did get some respect but then I lost some as well again when in the pressure he went back to doin the some of the same tactic's he showed in the Froch fight.The jumping on the floor to halt time and get out of trouble.I really felt he was about to be Taylored he look tired and done like one solid punch was goin to have AD on his back anyway.

I know, you know, and Andre knew, that AA has power hroughout the whole fight. AD did not run he just used more lateral movement than he did in the begining of the bout, as AA was off to his usual slow start.

Lets not forget that Dirrell was Robbed of a Knockdown too.. I lost all respect for A.A. When he realized he was losing to a better boxer, he started to fight like a child having a temper tantrum.

rematch is in order at the time of dirrels slip into the ropes he was backpedaling and running for dear life, he looked like a chicken . the momentum was in aa's favor not dirrells.plus the hometown favoratism was was apparrent by the ref and everyone there they didnt even count the knockdown aa scored.it wasnt a flagrant foul it was a reaction , manny pac has done it many occasions so has barrera and countless others even marciano, its a reaction to punch while guy is falling. abraham the winner anyway in my book he just hurt dirrel any time he decided to punch.dirrel isnt very good and his chin sux.

We might have to agree to disagree on this one Rome my man. I saw it in real time last night and in the replay you provided(good post BTW) and yoou can clearly see AA think about delivering the shot and the following through with it. In the interview after the fight you could see he was completely frustrated and could've cared less if he truely hurt AD or not. It was extremely classless, and he could've caused some irrepairable damage.

Hey I don't disagree that much but everyone see's a fight in a different light.I just hope Dirrell is alright.

cant agree with that! he outboxed AA all night round 10 and 11 were won by AA and yes that was a knock down dont know why the ref didnt count it but home town advantage cant be the reason you get out boxed man get real dirrell was whoopin dat ass for 9 rounds. and its not called running he knew with one punch he could lose its called moving/movement

Its funny how people are saying that AA was "about to" KO Direll. we have a lot of fortune tellers in here. AA was so frustrated that he couldnt catch up with AD that he started winging punches. AD was moving and not getting hit with combos at all. AD put AA on his ass twice in the fight(only one counted). but to yall AA fans i guess u have to have something to hold your hat on. b/c ur guy was beaten and busted up. he even knew he was gettign beat. Also, its funny how everyone on press rown had AD up by atleast 6 points. except for the german newspaper guy, who still had AD up by 4

Does it really matter if Dirrell was acting or not? Speaking of acting, what about all those low blows that Abraham acted out. If they land on the belt and the ref doesn't say anything, keep fighting. If a punch really hits you in the ***els then make your case. But flopping out low blows that didn't actually hurt is pointless to me.

But back to what I was saying, "Does it really matter if Dirrell was acting?" Who remembers Roy Jones vs Montell Griffin? He didn't knock Griffin unconscious but he made contacts while Griffin was already down, so he got disqualified. You can make the argument all day that Abraham could have landed clean in the 11th or 12th round, but because he lost his composure and through a frustration punch all we can judge the fight by is the 11 rounds that Dirrell dominated.
