    Why would anyone fake being ko'd when the ref was counting and the boxer couldnt be sure it would be ruled a DQ or KO? Wouldnt it make more sense to run for 4 1/2 miniutes when well up on the cards like Delahoya-Tito?

    I mean surely you can comprehend that even if you're blind and cant figure it out from a limp lifeless body with a leg involuntarily twitching. And if you havent watched enough boxing to know KOs can have a delayed affect (the reason for this being the brain smashes against 1 side of the skull and rebounds to the other side of the skull causing a concussion)

    Thats probably too much to think about for 50% of the ******s who thought it was faked but worth a try

    Anyone who thinks dirrel was faking being ko'd is a ****ing idiot.

    How did he fool the doctors trying to revive him? ninja focus?

    If he can take a full-on power punch he wasn't expecting and didn't see coming on the tip of his totally unprotected jaw and still be in fit shape to "act" he must have the best ****ing chin the sport has ever seen.

    Dirrell runing for 4 and 1/2 minutes means he might have been knocked out for real, so he slipped and got hit while he was sitting at the bus stop and then decided to put on one of the best acting jobs we have ever seen in boxing.

    What an amazing performance!

    Thats the science of a concussion, the brain is forced against 1 side of the skull and can rebound against the other side

    Never seen a delayed reaction KO before? They happen

    The leg twitching part was just a flourish, then? It wwasn't enough to just seem 'knocked out", Andre thought he would have to be realym, really convincing and pretend that he might be in fact dead. Sounds very plausible.

    You have a low IQ.

    It's astonishing how stupid some people are on this site. It's kind of sad, actually.

    your ****ing ******ed what so if you go to the doctor and tell them your sick there gonna tell you your not? even if your not there gonna take your word for it and give you antibiotics. not hard to close your eyes and shake, when you go into a seizure your whole body does NOT shake only one side or your limbs.

    i gauran-****ing-tee you are Armenian or in some other way affiliated or a nuthugger of Abraham.

    There is absolutely no way you are an unbiased fan of boxing.

    Dirrell did have a reason to fake it. Abraham was getting to him and he was hurt and tired, it looked fake as **** but who knows. The punch might have hurt him but it wasn't that bad.

    I'm a big Dirrell fan and I predicted a win from the beginning. But there's truth to what he's saying. If Dirrell says he was KO'd and said he felt bad, do you think that even if the doctor thinks he's faking some of it he's gonna just say "nah he's faking it". That's a no no and a stupid move by the doctor.

    He is right, i do impact & explosion engineering, basically the impact wave will reflect into a compressive wave (in a nut shell).

    But all punches would cause that, all boxers are different, everyone will react differently. Haven't seen the illegal KO, but its obvious he wouldn't fake a KO. Esp when the dude by all accounts schooled AA.
