    He fought a good fight against Froch if a little naive. People calling him a ***** are butthurt that he managed to make their fighter hit thin air and look very poor. The fact is that Froch was not good enough to cut the ring off, got frustrated and resorted to rabbit punching. Why should Dirrell stand in front of Froch and present his chin to be hit? IMO he won that fight, but if you could fault him, he was naive enough to think the judges would give him the win even if he fought on the backfoot in a close (but clear IMO) fight. He fought much more aggresively against Abraham and showed he had learned. He has nice speed and reflexes and is nice to watch, even if he's not the most exciting.

    I think he put it on, there was a small but significant delay and peek up after the punch landed, then he went down - his head fully under control too.

    He's got all the tools you need but a fighters heart... I dunno.

    exaggerated in my opinion. it was obvious he must of been worried about abraham performing late in fights because dirrells girlfriend or wife even commented about abraham doing well late in fights, so that must of came from dirrell. i think dirrell exaggerated the injury, but boxed well throughout the fight.

    I thought it was very suspicious. Dirrell's reaction was not normal. He seemed to be trying too hard to prove he was KO'd. I thought it was a fairly poor, yet consistent, acting performance. The delay in reaction was very strange.

    He was getting tagged by Abraham and was clearly tiring. Abraham was coming on strong, and I'm not sure Dirrell fancied another 4/5 minutes in the ring with him.

    That being said, the DQ was the right decision.

    theres a very good possibility abraham could have stopped him, so he decided to ***** out and pull off a primadona act on his way out of the arena, seriously how many fighters have you seen do that after they get put out, some of them are upset but not to the level dirrell was the fake **** was milking it, montelll griffin didnt ***** that badly and suck the judges cocks as much as dirrell did

    I think he was hurt but made the most of it. The incident was suspicious and acted to an extent in my opinion.

    Yep Dirrell faked the KO IMO but it was a hit on the ground which resulted in the ref calling a DQ that's the end of that.

    Dirrell's a slippery *******.
