prior to the legit knockdown that was overruled AA had won one ****ing rd! then I looked at your location and realized oh that explains it.
Can we leave out that "you're coming from Germany" bull****, please? As already mentioned, the kd was legit. AA won that round and I think another one (4th or 5th - can't remember) was pretty close. Other than that it was Dirrel's show and yes, it was almost a "shut-out". However, the disqualification of Abraham (which was the right decision) was an advantage for Dirrell, because nobody can say what would've happened in the last two rounds. It's not fair to say that Dirrell was robbed. He showed a terrific performance and gets a lot of credit for it.
How was he exposed? everyone knew it would be a K.O. Abraham or (wide) UD Dirrell And why are peple saying this was the blueprint how you beat AA? AD had a big height and reach advantage and still bareley dodged Abrahams shots. How many people at SMW have this advantage ,instincts and the speed of AD to execute such a plan agains a powerpuncher? I think AA opened up so late because he was KD'n in the second and was off afterwards. All respect for AD he was way better than against Frock imo. In the end you learn more of a loss than a win maybe Abraham will go for the kill sooner in his upcoming fights, until now he had no reason to cause he won anyway.
granted the momentum had changed an dirrell was starting to wither before aa pulled that stupid ass blaghtin foul . but prior to the 10th round andre definitly exposed aa an the blueprint to beating him quick combos an terrific footwork that kept aa so offbalance an frustrated an totaly outclassed,now finishing that job an blueprint is still in question for the whole 12 an altough andre appered spent when the foul accured it is obvious aa was desperate or else there wouldnt have been the cheap shot an there would no lingering questions.
How did Dirrell NOT expose Abraham? Abraham hasn't fought anything but bums his whole career and the moment he comes to American soil and fights an American, he got his assed wooped. Dirrell boxed the socks off Abraham, exactly as I predicted 3 months ago. Them Europeans (Abraham, Froch, and Kessler) are too slow to hang with us American boys (Andre Dirrell and Andre Ward). Abraham was mad and took the easy/cheap way out. Really, now that I think about it, Arthur Abraham exposed HIMSELF by knowing he was getting dominated and instead of dealing with it like a man he goes and takes a ***** ass cheap shot.
He wasnt really exposed because not all fighters have the speed,movement and elusivness that Dirrell has. We all know that AA can not beat a boxer that can mover around the ring. But theres only a few boxers in that weight that can move like that...Dirrell and Ward are the only 2 guys i see beating AA in that division. He'll run through Froch and Kessller...easily...i see Andre Ward or AA to win this tournament
I would like to see a rematch of this fight. AA was closing in on Dirrell and I think the ko was coming. I think AA needs a lot of work. He gives away to many rounds. He needs a tommy brooks type trainer. He needs to use more head movement a fire more punches. I can't get over the power he has. And the chin to go with it. Theres no reason he should not win this super six. Dirrell will never be the same again. That was a major KO and its hard to come back from something like that.
Dirrell layed the blueprint. Dirrell in the 1st round stopped Abe's jab for many rounds and he had Abe off balance over extending his punches. He used certain tactics to do this.
Yes that's what a biased boxing newbie like yourself probably thinks. I am not surprised at all. You think this was the first time Abraham got "dominated", losing round after round? The truth is it happened in a number of his fights, he was so far just lucky enough to get the KO down the line. Did you see the Taylor bout? A completely shot Taylor was winning the first couple rounds with ease -- until he ran out of gas. Why didn't Abraham foul all of his previous opponents? Doesn't really fit with your ridiculous theory. P.S. This wasn't Abraham's first US showing, the last time he boxed in the US was in 2008.
