    whats the general concensus about the incident i think its interesting to note the brain scans were negative dirrel was perfectly OK when he left the hospital, i'm not basing my judgement on this but to me its pritty obvious dirrel faked it, Abraham was coming on with a late rally, he put dirrel on his ass in the 10th and continued to win the round dispite being discredited for the knock down, it was the last 2 rounds and feeling the pressure dirrel was looking for a way out of the fight he got the opertunity when abraham hit him in his FACE, theres a difference in getting hit in the face when your down and in the back of the head, the later produces symptoms of tremmor but not the former. And tell me when a guy is constantly taking a knee throughout the fight what are the chances that hes not going to get hit by an illegal blow?

    He didn't take a knee, he slipped. It's impossible to tell if he was faking it or not, only he knows that. I personally don't think he was putting it on, if he was he's in the wrong business because it was pretty convincing.

    The guy got hit bang on the temple by one of the hardest hitters today while he was unprepared for it and some people still think he was faking it?

    The mind boggles.

    He was twitching like a landed trout one second, and then screeching on his stool like a ***** the next. No concussion, nothing...what made him twitch?. The man was faking it.

    Make this a poll. I think Abraham hit him and Dirrel; was not faking.

    Rob, given the reaction to the punch...twitching on the canvas...I would have expected at the very least a concussion but medical checks didn't show anything and he didn't even spend the night in hospital.

    he was ''slipping'' throughout the fight when you do that for 11 rounds what are the odds that your not going to get caught by something heavy during the duration of those rounds and he did the same **** against froch

    I wouldn't 100% categorically state that I believe that he was faking it - because he was clearly hurt - but he definitely made the most of his ''predicament'' to get Abraham DQ'd.

    AA was coming on strong and was capable of forcing a stoppage.... Dirrell knew it.

    Kinda like a footy player holding his leg and rolling over until the yellow comes out.

    Heart isn't his strongpoint, and it will be his undoing soon.

    it was on the ****ing jaw not on the temple, iv seen videos of guys who were hit repeatedly on the back of the head, and the symptoms of twitching is delayed initially they collapse to the ground and lose consiousness dirrel should have rehearsed the act better.

    No he wasn't, he was giving AA a boxing lesson for the most part, are you saying that he somehow deserved to get hit while he was down? As for the Froch fight, Froch was guilty of much worse in that fight, hitting on the break, hitting behind the head and a few WWE moves thrown in for good measure.
