For those saying AA should of been DQ

Yes, he looked, then loaded up and swung.

There's a good chance Arthur was so in the heat that he didn't notice Dirrell was on the ground, but that's his fault because he clearly was. Dirrell is low a lot and slippery and on the floor often and that can be a little frustrating. To me it's a lot more blatant than the Margo vs Cotto fight. One looked to be ending on perhaps a combo. The other is Abraham looking at Andre on down, loading up, and teeing off.

Clear DQ... and thinking it should be a NC is moronic. Dirrell's career can never been the same. I guess fighters can "unintentionally" just hit them while they have been clearly down and KTFO them out and reserve a NC instead of a loss. Terrible logic. In fact, Dirrell should get 3 points over 2 before a NC. As Tarver said "Those are the type of KO's fighters don't come back from me."

 

I read it. YOu seem to not know what you are talking about. Abraham clearly loaded up, clearly had time to process Dirrell was down, which is all but irrelevant.

You dont rule an NC because another fighter lands an illegal blow. Thats the silliest **** I ever heard.

Hell even the idiots who think Dirrells was faking feel it was an instant DQ.

You dont rob a fighter of a W because his opponent commits and illegal act. If you cant see the difference in the punches MArgarito landed and Dirrell landed, you have to be insane.

 

If anything should be diffrent Margrito should have been dq'd. That being said There was a much longer delay in Abraham's punch and Margrito's punch.

 

Yes it is a DQ. The thing that would prevent blatant acting would be not being stupid enough to hit someone while he's down. Once a fighter does that, he should be prepared to lose by DQ.

 

Watch the videos.

 

There is no way you can conclusively say as to wether or not Abraham did it on purpose. What we do know is that Dirrell was clearly down, Abraham hit him flush on the jaw, and Dirrell couldn't continue. How is declaring that fight a NC fair? Dirrell had no control over the situation, Abraham did. You are not allowed to hit a guy when he's down. Abraham broke the rules and Dirrell couldn't continue as a result. A DQ is the only fair action.

 

AA had a bunch of time to pull away from his punch. He clearly hit Dirrell while he was down on his knees. A clear DQ even if Dirrell doesn't go out of it.

 

It looked much more like AA did it deliberately. Even more so than when MAB clocked JMM, even though JMM had been down longer, and I really couldn't tell you why. It just does.

 

You guys are making excuses for the other fights where a fighter was down and saying that it is much different for Abraham. How is that? It doesn't matter if Abraham is puncher, or how long he delayed.

A foul is a foul plain and simple. If AA was DQ'd, so should Pac for his punch against Marquez, Marg against Cotto, etc. Who cares if the opponent in the other fights could continue? Assigning degrees of misconduct in the business of cheap shots doesn't really make sense. A foul is a foul.

 

Aww poor RJJ and AA. All they did was just hit a defencless fighter will they were on the floor...... Roy actually landed 2 shots.

So whenever a fighter is losing he can just crack a fighter when they slip and they dont lose they get an NC??? Awesome.atsch

 

Hitting guys when they're down happens so frequently. Most of the times refs do nothing. Sometimes they take a point away.

The only times it results in a DQ/No-Contest is when the guy can't or won't continue.
