    In round 4, Dirrell pushed Abraham off-balance with his forearm and then punched him. The referee made a mistake in giving Abraham the count. He should have taken a point away from Dirrell.

    In round 7, Dirrell hit Abraham with his forearm and Arthur fell into the ropes. The referee did not rule it a knockdown, yelling "he hit him with his forearm" to Dirrell's corner (as if a ref needs to justify himself). But even here, there should have been a point deduction.

    Then in round 10 there was a legitimate knockdown, but this time the wrong guy went down, so the ref didn't validate it.

    Then in round 11 Abraham made a real mistake: when Dirrell took a knee for about the 100th time in the fight, Abraham hit him.

    If the fight had taken place in Japan, Abraham would have been ahead on points and would not have been desperate to knock Dirrell out. We need a rematch.
