    I don't think he faked any of it. It was just one of those really wierd things.

    Dirrell was well ahead on the score cards but Abraham wasn't far away from getting the knock out so when the situation presented itself Dirrell made the most of it.

    On that note, why didn't Pacquiao get a point deducted for hitting JMM when he was down after the 3rd knockdown in the 1st round of their first fight?

    in my opinion he was definitely faking. his character seems to add more weight to it too. he seems like the kind of person that would do it.

    I think the earlier argument of Abraham coming on strong is the important point in all of this. The German was beginning to go through the gears and time his work better and I thought Dirrell was fading mentally and physically.

    BUT AA should not have threw that punch. Bang out of order.

    Did I think he faked it? I lean towards yes. But that's only because I think he was looking for a way out even though he was ahead on points which he surely knew. If he was looking for a way out it don't say much for his mental state.

    I like him, I'm probably the only one on this forum. I don't think he was faking it judging by his reaction when he got up. Maybe it was an act, who knows but Abraham should not have hit him. I'm an Abraham fan too btw and I want one of the two to win the tournament.

    I'm quite an Abraham fan myself. I don't hate Dirrell but there's something i can't put my finger on about him.

    Haha it's the same with him. He's done nothing wrong, he fight's whoever is infront of him, does what he does very well, but again there's something about him i aint keen on:lol:

    I can't figure out why he gets so much ****, everyone questions his heart and says he's a ***** because of how he fought against Froch but he's a relatively inexperienced boxer who signed up to take part in a tournament where he has to fight the best fighters in his division back to back. Compare this to some "champions" who shamelessly run from their mandatories and Dirrell doesn't look like such a ***** after all.

    andre ward seems like a top guy to me. not an entertaining fight against green but u gotta respect his versatility. for me he's definitely p4p material, although we havent seen him in the trenches yet and thats when we'll know. question is, who can take him into the trenches? apparently no-one from the current crop of SMW and this is supposed to be a deep division.

    because his last 2 fights he can be accused of running and spoiling, and faking injury. thats why he can be considered a *****.

    Many people dislike the way Ward fight's, but i don't mind watching him. If he come's out of the Super Six unbeaten, i can see him dominating the division for a while

    The Froch fight was messy on both boxers parts but Dirrell boxed the ears off AA and there is no proof that he faked an injury.
