OK so if Dirrell wasn't really hurt from Abraham's punch while he was down.

What makes you think that had the fight continued or had Abraham never fouled Dirrell in the first place that Abraham would have scored a KO over a guy who couldn't possibly be hurt by a punch that landed on his chin while defenseless.

I mean even if Abraham landed Dirrell later on in the 11th or even the 12th Dirrell would have taken it and continued to box his ears off like he was for the entire fight. 1 1/2 rounds? Dirrell would have pulled the UD and Abraham and his fans would have very little to say.

Technically speaking, Abraham benefited greatly from his DQ. It gave him an excuse to take back to Germany and it gave his supporters a reason to overlook his tragic performance against an underdog in Dirrell. As far as I'm concerned it was Abraham took the easy way out.

AA was losing in the scorecard and was desparate for a win, took his chances but failed. It needs a rematch.

I just wanted to watch this again before I posted to make sure I got it as accurately as I could. After AA KO's Dirrell he turns to the ref and raises his hands in victory. He knew Dirrell was KO'd at that point. In the interview he says he KO'd Dirrell at on at least one occasion, maybe twice but the first time is a little garbled and there is the accent/language problem. He then goes to calling Dirrell an actor. atsch

This is pretty definitive that AA thought he KO'd Dirrell. He has the experience to know. Anyone doubting Dirrell was KO'd, I'd suggest you go back and watch and listen.

For those thinking Dirrell should have taken the 5 minutes and continued? atsch Just atsch

I bet he's scored lots of KOs like that one over in Germany ! :rofl

Poor Abraham doesn't even have a clue about the rules of boxing. He thinks body shots are illegal (those landed at him anyway), and that hitting a man while he's down is legal. That's all he needs to know over there in Germany.

Abraham neither understands, nor does he speak english.

OMG, I really hope AA will meet Dirrell again. The fight then will look different...you can count on that.

AA lost fair and square to a fighter who showed a stellar performance. He was never able to adjust. However, what's now going on here on ESB is really pathetic. The situation is even worse than it was after the Pavlik - Hopkins fight. It's only a loss and the 1st one for Abraham. You better don't write him off.

Any minds changed after you watched what I pointed out on whether Dirrell was KO'd or not?

Could Abraham also be acting :think

I think his first answer to the interviewer was the honest one. He thought he should be awarded the KO since he believed AA was not all the way down. After he saw the replay? Yes his story changed and he was acting. Had Saurland not thrown him that pathetic acting line we would not be having this discussion. We would only be discussing whether the punch was intentional or not. Great save by Saurland of a bad situation in that regard to turn poor little Aurthur into the victim here. :yep
