Arthur Abrahams vicious assault against Dirrell against the ropes!

he literally didnt land one punch haha...ok i take that back maybe one lol thats sad

 

Dirrell put on a great display last night. Moved well, let his hands go, went to the body to defeat AA's high guard. Excellent performance all the way around. When he dropped AA with that right hand in the fourth, the whole place just exploded. Nothing like the atmosphere on a big fight night.

 

hysterical. not once punch. wild haymakers missing the mark.

 

the worst part is this is like a trademark of dirrells and he does it often as did lennox lewis and mayweather its used to feel distance and aim and the only reason the ref broke it up was to help Dirrell out of the corner its so obvious its disgusting.

 

Man, it was electric. It was one of those fights that had you on the edge of your seat all night, because you know AA has the power to end it with one punch. So while Dirrell was in command the whole way, I could never relax.

I'm surprised that some people are saying the ref favored Dirrell, because it didn't seem that way to me. Both guys had what could have been legit KD's ruled slips, and Cole didn't warn AA for body slamming Andre. Then again, the talk before the fight was that all the judges and the ref were from Michigan, so there is no telling what people will say on this board.

 

AA kept me on edge whole fight. Dirrell pulls his head back leaving chin exposed too much. Lost little respect for AA in post fight interview. Dirrell seemed too good to be true at times last night.

 

If AA were the under rated boxer people claim, he would have gone to the body there because you can't move that the same way you can the head. When AA couldn't hit him he tried an illegal tactic that wasn't allowed by the ref. Again, AA's own dumb mistake.

 

Left hand...:smoke

 

I stand corrected.

 

Cole would not allow the assault to continue, just like he called a legit knocked not a knockdown, just like he overlooked the low blows, and not not calling the headbutt that caused the cut. It took balls for Abraham to fight Dirrell in him home.

Dirrell was ready to be knocked out, sent down from a left jab/slip, noticed he looked over at his corner, then acted like he was suddenly knocked out. Abraham was on his way to a knockout win and Dirrell knew it. Cole is an idiot. Abraham clearly knocked Dirrell down and Cole called it a slip! Video says otherwise. The cut was caused by a headbutt, video clearly shows this. Dirrell did a good acting job. Watch the video again, watch Dirrell look at his corner before pretending he was knocked out. Dirrell was finished and he knew it. This is not the first time Cole has been biased. Check out many of his fights in Texas protecting the home fighter. I had Abraham losing on points as I expect him to do, but the knockout was there to be had, Dirrell was finished, therefore the acting job.
