    After this travesty of a late hit in which Dirrell had to be taken to the hospital, should Arthur Abraham lose points in the Super Six Standings? Should he be kicked out of the tournament? I'm leaning towards 1.5 point deduction.

    Yeah, if that's the case Green is probably top of the table without a fight.

    He should be fined a massive amount of money if he ever wants to fight again.

    No.

    It's a definite DQ, I don't think anyone can argue this, but you can't really prove the intent. As I've said in another thread, the whole incident played out in around 1 second, and well, Abraham is pumped and looking for the KO, he's hardly going to be in a position to think rationally. It looks A LOT worse in slow motion than in real time.

    it looks bad in full speed. Dirrell Slips and Abraham loads up and takes a shot.
