The problem with the DQ

WRONG.
Even if Abraham had won every round as in your hypothesis, he still would've been disqualified, and rightfully so.
The rules are clear. If a downed opponent receives a blow whilst he is on the canvas, but regardless is able to continue, the offending boxer is deducted a point, and his opponent is given tiume to recover (if he so requires).
However, if the downed opponent receives a blow and is unable to continue, then the offending boxer is disqualified.
The rules are clear, and just.

 

He has to be DQ'd, the fight couldn't continue as a result of a foul by Abraham, there's no other possible outcome. Are you really saying it would be fair to make Dirrell continue and just take a point off Abraham? Dirrell, even with 5 minutes recovery time, would have been knocked out as a direct result of the foul. That wouldn't be fair.

 

I swear to god, you and 46-0 have to be the biggest dumbasses on this forum


Dirrells slips because Abrahams corner cant clean up their ****ing water, Abraham punches him while he is helpless, Dirrells is knocked out or at the very very list severly stunned and its not a DQ.

You're a ****ing joke.

 

They'd have no choice, rules are rules. The Soto/Lorenzo situation was very different to this one too, so it's a poor comparison.

 

Blantant DQ and it puts big questions on AA - he was getting through and may have found a way to KO Dirrell but he clearly did not believe in himself.

Dirrell was everything he should have been against Froch - he did not take a backwards step until round 7 when he though he had enough points to win. AA should have had the KD before and Dirrell was looking very tired but I think he would have held on for the last round and a half if AA did not take that cheap shot.

Great performance from Dirrell - his next fight could be a classic with Ward - AA v Froch is gonna be interesting and I think Froch (the most unpopular fighter in the Super 6) is actually gonna be loved for one night.

 

You're right that the intended consequences of an action are generally what we judge, and so it might seem that the circumstances of the bout are irrelevant.

But if the fight were turned into a NC, you'd have even deeper problems. You could have fighters fouling each-other when they were behind just to avoid a loss. Regardless of AA's intentions, and regardless of any suspicions about Dirrell's reaction, that was a legit DQ - especially when you consider who was winning the fight.

 

The problem with the punch is that Abraham steped into the punch. Thus making it a harder punch than if he had not done so.

 

It wouldn't have been a robbery though. It doesn't matter if an individual is winning a fight comfortably - it doesn't give him the right to do as he pleases. Duran was comfortably ahead on the scorecards against Buchanan, but he still should've been disqualified.
And as regards to the rules being dependant on the interpretation of the individual referee - well that's all sports at all times. Rules can't implement themselves.
Of course you're going to get inconsistencies; doens't mean the rules aren't correct.
