Saurland gets away with "Blame the victim".

SAUERLAND EVENT (ABRAHAM)

Wilfried Sauerland: “Arthur would have knocked Dirrell out”

DETROIT (March 28, 2010) — Wilfried Sauerland has no doubts that Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament point leader King Arthur Abraham would have knocked Andre Dirrell out had it not been for his controversial disqualification in the 11th round. “After a slow start, Arthur was finally landing his power punches,” Sauerland said. “He clearly knocked Dirrell down in the tenth and was following it up in the 11th. There is no way Dirrell would have seen the end of the 12th round.”

After reviewing the tape, Sauerland stated that a clearly exhausted Dirrell seized his chance to sneak out of the fight when the chance presented itself, especially with Abraham upping pressure before the controversial ending. “The TV pictures indicate that Dirrell was down, but there is no way Arthur could have realized that in the heat of the moment. He was just trying to keep up the attack. However, Dirrell is a very good actor. We are glad that his check-up at the hospital turned out just fine but frankly we did not expect any other outcome since he was just acting. He deserves an Oscar for his performance.”

The 26-year-old American was taken to hospital after the fight. “I wish him all the best and hope he is fine,” Abraham said. “I thought I could still punch because the referee did not stop us. In the heat of the moment I was not watching his feet but only his head. As a professional boxer, you always try and make pressure.”

Abraham said it was a very competitive fight. “I am a slow starter,” he added. “That is how I fight. But I picked up in the later rounds and connected.” Abraham was knocked down for the first time his career in the fourth but returned the favour in the tenth when he floored Dirrell, although no knock-down was credited.

Team Sauerland will officially protested the verdict.

 

I hate to say "I told ya so," but damn bro, how many years have I spent trying to convince people Sauerland is a snake?

 

Well, many said and actually still say years after the fight that Griffin was faking it. Ignorant fans always come up with the most ridiculous ideas and that is especially true in the internet era, and of course, Sauerland put more oil on the fire. But you surely don't really believe a german promoter made Allan Green say (quote) "I did think he put on a bit of an act, and I like Dirrell. He could've continued the fight or he could have taken five minutes."

 

Thats never been kept secret from the public.

Most legitimate posters always maintained the fact that Sauerland is a snake, and most legitimate posters maintain that Bob Arum is, in fact.. also a snake.

 

The VERY small amount of people who said Griffin was faking it were most likely set straight at the time....and it must have been a small number because it never even occurred to me or any other boxing fans I knew at the time. This is a totally different kind animal.

 

name a promotor that isn't

 

He wasn't faking it but he was clearly exagerating it and I'm not entirely sure I blame him.
Cheeky ****er hit's me while I'm down!? Well you reap what you sow!

 

Montel or Andre?

 

what's a different kind of animal and why?

 

Andre. Haven't seen the Jones fight in ages.

 

I don't get the insider joke but it doesn't take away my point, so I repeat it: ignorant fans always come up with the most ridiculous ideas and that is especially true in the internet era, and of course, Sauerland put more oil on the fire. But you surely don't really believe a german promoter made Allan Green say (quote) "I did think he put on a bit of an act, and I like Dirrell. He could've continued the fight or he could have taken five minutes."

Sorry but it's further evidence of the lack of your compehensive reading skills. I never ever supported W. Sauerland. All I said, and you can search back, that Sauerland is not worse than any other scumbag he learned his game from, and unfortunately among his idols there are many of yours.

 

If Sauerland had some class they would've done the same.

 

OK, what is the basis for the claim that he was exaggerating? Can you exaggerate being unconscious?

I suspect one can fake unconsciousness, but can one be exaggeratedly unconscious?

And if one fakes unconsciousness then one is doing much more than exaggerating, one is faking. See what I mean?

 

Apparently, Kessler thinks the same. I have no doubt what Froch will have to say.
