Anybody Feel Like Dirrell Faked It To Avoid A Beatdown from Abraham?

    Cole waves off the KD when the replay showed it was a legitimate kd by Abraham. Dirrell was on survival mode after that. Dirrell may have done an acting job to save himself from an eventual Abraham ass-whipping.

    What eventual ass whipping? Abraham didn't land **** on the Dirrell in that 11th round prior to the slip. You go and tell me exactly how many clean punches AA landed on Dirrell in the 11th. Go ahead.

    Though the KD should have counted...to answer your thread title, No.

    i definitely believe that he was doing some acting.....Dirrell had a much better idea of the situation than he let on

    notice how dirrels foot popped up when he tried to lift it over abrahams. the shot hurt him but abrahams foot made him fall. also dirrel got ripped for a kd as well so dont complain about that as well.

    Even in the replay it was evident that AA's foot was behind Dirrell's and it was the punch that moved Dirrell but the foot that tripped him.

    AA was losing the fight hands down and yes he knock down Dirrel which was a rule a slip but other then that he was losing the fight. Dirrell was cleaning hit on the ground which he didn't see it coming and no he wasnt acting. Just ask yourself if someone hit you with that right hook you dont see coming would do damage !!!! Lets be serious AA was desperate and was doing anything in his power to win the fight !!!!

    Oh come on, he was in survival mode from the KD on; AA is a late finisher and I do think he would have KOed him

    Why do that when you're clearly ahead on points in the 11th round of a 12 rd fight and your opponent can barely see outta one eye?


    P.S. Not for nothin' but when you're hit by a punch - as AA was - and the ropes prevent you from hitting the canvas, that's officially a kd.

    Andre Dirrell is not ****ing Forest Whitaker. He's probably suffered a severe concussion for god's sake.

    If you think he was faking then you are saying AA is an overrated, feather fisted puncher. Bottom line.
