The problem with the DQ

How can you be so certain?

 

Yes, he would. If you hit an opponent when he is down and he can't continue then you get DQ'd, regardless of how the fight has been scored to that point.

 

If Abraham would've been in control of himself we could've seen how it was played out. Whether Dirrell could've lasted another round and a half or not. I think it is quite possible he would've been knocked down one more time and we could've seen a draw or a split decision.

 

yeah.

abraham messed up.

no way am i saying it was unfair.

despite the fact i thought it could have been pts off.

it's the ref's call.

not criticising it.

abraham needs to learn the lesson. :roll:

 

The DQ was unfair. The ref didn't say stop that's why Abraham continued punching. It was the ref's fault not Abraham.

 

Please can you list some fights where a fighter has clearly hit a fighter when he is down, and the punch that has hit him when he has down has caused him to be unable to continue fighting and the result has been anything other than a DQ?

 

I disagree. It may be that when a fighter is going down from a punch that you get another shot landed whilst the guy is on the way down or has actually technically gone down, but usually it's borderline when the punch actually landed and as such the fighter scoring the KD is given the benefit of the doubt. That's very different to this case where the fighter was down as the result of a slip and a clean punch was thrown and landed that knocked him out. The two just aren't the same.

 

It was not in the heat of the moment. There was the heat of the moment, then Abraham made a pause, knew Dirrel was down and then hit him.
The foul was fully intentional. Abraham was the ******* yesterday. Stop trying to defend him, you become yourself a *******.

 

Anyone attempting to have intelligent conversation with Jack is wasting their time.

 

Thats the dumbest ****in comment I have ever seen.

If a boxer knows he is winning the fight, what is to stop him from taking an intentional foul and rendering his opponent unable to continue. Thus ending the fight early. Knowing the fight will go to the scorecards and he will get the win.

or on the other hand..

If a boxer is losing the fight, what is to stop him from taking an intentional foul and rendeering his opponent unable to continue. Knowing the fight will be ruled a no conest and he won't take a loss?

Abhram took a cheap shot because he was losing the fight.. and Dirrell frustrated him all night. Plain and simple.. you look dumb trying to defend this in anyway shape or form.

 

wow, you are completely nuts. Abraham tried to KO a defenseless Dirrell. Dirrell took a flush right hook to the head while he was down and Arthur Abraham is certainly not feather fisted.

What the hell is up with some of you guys? :-(
