Abraham knockdown in the 10th? *GIF* you be the judge

It was the inside of the glove, which means it is not a scoring punch, and it was also a push rather than a punch. Never a knockdown in a million years.

 

Not a clean connect?! The inside of Dirrell's forearm connects with Abraham's neck. Please tell me how that is a legal punch?

 

omg this place takes fanboyism to a whole new level!!

Look, abarahm hit Dirrell and Dirrell went down. The fact Abraham's foot was placed on the floor already and Dirrell's heel hit it doesn't matter. The punch put him off balance ergo it was a KD.

Secondly, Dirrell did not KD Abraham, he pushed him with his wrist and Abraham's determined momentum carried him on.

Thirdly, Dirrell was and would have won the fight 12 rounds or not.

So can everybody stop acting like 6 year olds in the bloody playground!!!!

 

It's obvious that Dirrell tripped over Abraham's left foot.Even though you can see the trip in this video, it's obvious why you chose to use this angle instead of all of the other clear angles they showed.

 

yeah i thought abraham was knocked down live but it's pretty obvious that dirrell cuffed his neck/ head didn't punch him. and yes to the thread aa for sure knocked dirrell down punch caused him to go down abrahm is a ****ing dick..."he's a good actor..."

 

It was a KD, and it also doesn't matter.

Even Abraham's own corner was panicking and telling him to push the issue because he was losing the fight. So, if Abraham was desperate, blame his own corner.

Oh, or blame himself for KOng a defenseless opponent who'd slipped in a spot -- Abraham's corner -- where he'd already slipped.

**** Abraham and his apologists.

 

Look closely at the feet of both fighters. Dirrell's right heel trips over the front of Arthur's left foot. You can call that a knockdown, as long as you call Dirrell's second knockdown over Abraham as well. In this case, neither was called...so it's a wash.

 

I don't understand your logic, in one instance it is a punch that makes the other fighter go off balance and ultimately to the floor, in the other it is not a punch but a push that makes the fighter go down. Only one of these is a legit KD.

 

I think AA's knock down of Dirrell should have been ruled a KD.

You can't tell as much from the GIF on this thread but on the replays i seen on TV they showed a shot from a camera behined AA and you can see that after the punch lands on Dirrell, Dirrels right foot is firmly planted to the ground. Dirrell's knees bend and he is starting to sag to the ground. His right foot then moves backwards and trips over AA's foot.

Now i don't know if it's the power of the shot that made Dirrell's foot move or if Dirrell moved it of his own accord to try and regain his balance but even if the feet didn't tangle i still think Dirrell would have gone down.

As for Dirrells KD/knock into ropes of AA im not to sure.

Dirrell clearly hits AA but it is not a punch. Its a slap and then a push. Almost like Dirrell was trying to swat away AA. Im not to sure on the ruling of slap KD's but because hitting with the inside of the glove is not a scoring punch i presume a slap KD shouldn't be ruled a KD.

 

Clearly a KD, the ref was a joke.

 

I love Abe, can't stand Dirrell and his gangsta clan and it should've been ruled as a knockdown. But what would be the difference? The scorecards would've have been one point closer. Besides as it wasn't ruled a knockdown Dirrell got only 3 or 4 secounds (instead of 10 seconds) to recover which should've helped Abe.

The referee of Ward-Kessler was biased as hell but I can't complain about yesterday's ref.

 

i think it should have been ruled a knockdown. he went down on the end of a punch.

 

I was at the fight live and in my opinion Dirrell tripped over Abraham's foot indeed but he was going down anyway from the punch! It should have been a knockdown in my eyes.
