i have to say boo has been talking about what a dirtbag sauerland is for quite some time. certainly has some proof now
The punch was illegal, no one on earth disputes that, not even AA. The problem lots of boxing fans have is that Dirrell could have got up and taken 5 minutes to recover. That's what a true fighter would have done. Instead, he looked at the ref, realised he could win the fight without having to suffer through the final 5 minutes (where Abraham is most dangerous) and he opted for the easy way out. The ref missed 2 legit knockdowns (rounds 7 and 10) and validated an illegal knockdown for Dirrell in the 4th (where Dirrell clearly pushes AA off balance with his forearm before punching him). This is the same ref who called a phantom knockdown against Pacquiao in his first fight with Barrera. He is completely incompetent. And he missed several low blows: you guys can deny it all you want, but the video shows the punches were on the balls. In an eventual rematch on neutral territory, AA would stop Dirrell. But Dirrell knows better than to get in the ring with this guy again (and it's not because of dirty fighting).
Dirrell won, he outboxes AA! Shows great boxing skills. Great win from Dirrell and no scandal, the scandal is the protest from AA. He is a poor looser.
All ANYONE has to do is listen to the post fight interview. He first states he thinks the punch is legal and he should be awarded the KO win. When he sees the replay he accuses Dirrell of acting. "I was lying at the beginning of the interview 30 seconds ago, but I'm telling the truth now........" :rofl
Watch the Hanshaw fight, then the Froch fight, and then watch the Abraham fight again, and you'll see that Dirrell takes a knee every time he's about to get nailed with a good shot and it's too late to dodge it. Carl Froch was right when he complained after the fight. Dirrell is a big girl. How can any boxing fan like this guy? Whatever happened to the Roberto Durans, the Marvin Haglers, the Jake LaMottas of boxing? The guys who came to fight? Andre Dirrell comes to throw pitty-pat punches all night while running away (see his gift decision win over Curtis Stevens). What does it take for you guys to ditch this fighter? Does he have to come into the ring with pink panties?
He absolutely schooled Arthur Abraham. Get over it. None of what you mention has anything to do with that. NONE OF IT!
Thats not the damn point! The point is you're trying to play this neutral guy...but you're clearly hugging on to AA. How in the hell did Dirrell act like a ***** when he was beating and outboxing AA...thats the big issue...You say this bull**** like you're nuetral fan but your personal bias is showing...I dont mind you having an opinion, cant knock you for that but when you start saying untruthfull bull****, dont get mad when somebody call you on that...If Dirrell was such a ***** as you put it out to be, he would have never gotten in the ring with AA in the first ****ing place...Then you want to say you're a neutral FAN? Get the **** outta here with that man! You're not neutral!:verysad
Man, you are biased. AA speaks Armenian, Russian and German, but his English isn't great. First he says Dirrell was not down, but AFTER seeing the video he changes his story and says he didn't see that Dirrell was down. That means that in the heat of the fight, he didn't realise Dirrell was down, and then in the SLOW MOTION REPLAY he saw that he was down. Here's the video: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dF9Ioild4I[/ame] Also, do any of you believe Dirrell's pathetic post-fight crying mumbo-jumbo in front of the microphone? Let's get real, guys. I'm American too but I know a phony fighter when I see one. Dirrell won the easy way. Jake LaMotta would have got up and killed Abraham.
A keyboard laced up on one hand and a mouse on the other,huh, tough guy? Mousekateers can get up from any punch they see on the screen, still shoot the bad guy after taking 25 bullets as they drink whiskey and it drains out the 25 bullet holes.........:-(
