    Why was it so bad when AA graced Dirrell, while noone seems to notice that the deciding punch in yesterdays fight was when Arce was on one knee?

    I believe the deciding punch was the one that knocked him the **** out, not the slightly late punch while he was on the ground that missed.

    He hit him hard with a hook while he was kd'd that he never recovered from

    Nobody says anything because arce was past it and only ever going to lose, sadly, he was also already knocked down, Dirrell slipped

    Arce didn't take a knee, WTF are you talking about? His glove touched the canvas. He didn't take a knee, his glove touched the canvas, how was Nonito supposed to see that when he was on the other side of him? There is a CLEAR difference between what Abraham did and Nonito. Nonito had his man wobbling and all over the place, and the guy touched the canvas with his glove, but did NOT take a knee at all. Abraham didn't have Dirrell hurt at all, and dirrell SLIPPED on a wet spot in the corner and did like a split and was sitting on the canvas and Abraham sees him on the group and gives him a hook/uppercut. CLEARLY different.

    Because Dirrell is now damaged good. He cannot even take an interview without his daddy jupping in and asking to talk to his lawyer before answering to a simple question.

    Arce didnt take a knee. He got pieced. Dirrell didnt take a knee he handed over his manhood willingly.

    I suggest you watch Donaire/Arce then.

    On the 1st or 2nd KD, Donaire did hit him after he'd already touched canvas, but it was clearly not why he went down, and the ref didn't get himself between them in enough time.

    If that is a foul worthy of criticism, then there are blatant fight changing disgraces of fouls in every fight.

    Arce is not going to go that Dirrell route. Many thought Arce was faking it against Rojas, but if that's the type of person he was he would of been trying to get Nonito DQ'd. But he made no excuses and gave all credit to Donaire.

    "It's an honor to be retired by the best..."

    Arce referring to Nonito Donaire.
