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

There's a thread on it and it's already been discussed on this one. It was rightly not called a knockdown as Dirrell didn't land a punch. Abraham was pushed off balance by the inside of Dirrell's forearm hitting him around the side of the head.

 

Garbage. Their feet touched. But SHOULD BE a KD though.

After watching the replay, you can see that Dirrell cuffed/ pushed him with inside of his forearm/ glove. NOT A KD.

AA's should have been a KD. Dirrell's not. But, in fairness, it took replays for us to get a solid footing(pun intended) on the issue, so the ref shouldnt be blamed.

That sums it up rather nicely.

 

The Ref did a terrible job in the fight.

 

A push. atsch That was a clear counter left hook.

 

And it clearly missed. The inside of Dirrell's forearm ended up connecting/swiping the left hand side of Abraham's head and knocking him off balance. I don't know what's with the face slapping smilie business, as this is unequivocally clear on the video posted. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you didn't see it, as Sean posted above apparantly the GIF posted in this thread is no longer visible to new viewers.

 

doesnt matter if he was hurt or not... the punch caused the knockdown!!

 

AA's was a KD Dirrells wasn't,AA was SAVED by the ropes and his gloves didn't touch down :rasta:rasta

 

...which is a knockdown.

 

...if it is caused by a legal punch, which it wasn't. So arguing about whether the ropes held him up or not is completely irrelevant, no punch landed = no knockdown.

 

clean KD

 

Dirrell was still winning the fight via points!!

 

of course, but the KD was a KD

just like the foul was a foul

 

The 15 morons who voted NO are simply blind. The KD by AA was as CLEAR AS DAY. ****ing ref Cole should never ref again. How you can miss that is simply beyond me. Looks like home-town cooking to me to be honest.

 

Doh

Voted no by accident. Clear KD

 

Which fight were you watching? The man was spent, and the next meaningful punch had him out.
The "slip"seemed like it was purposeful... a way of getting away from AA.
He fought a brilliant fight and impressed many people but the man has stamina issues... he'll never be a champion.
If there's a rematch watch for AA to go to the body.
That's Dirrell's weakness-- he'll be outta' there by round 10.
