    Stop being so pig-headed. Like I said, only Dirrell knows for sure.

    You saw it one way but there's plenty of evidence to make people suspicious.

    Why are you dismissing his opinion simply because he has a stance.


    Clearly you also have a preconceived stance before you even opened this thread, as indicated by the way you react to any poster who states the obvious: Abraham hit him long after he was down. You say it was a split-second, but it sure was a lot longer than it took Dirrel to concoct an intricate plot to steal a DQ decision...

    No i cannot

    for one aa punches like a hw, for a chinny man to be able to take his blindsided punch flush and then have the mental capacity to concoct a plan to fake injury is absurd.

    for another i cant even believe there is any controversy. he got twatted whilst down, he then dropped like a ton of bricks, received medical treatment, suffered memory loss and disorientation, and then had a scan showing he had concussion.

    what kinda person sees that and thinks "he is faking" ill tell you, the kind who think "man never landed on the moon" and them kind of people are poles apart from me in terms of intellect and not worthy of my time and effort

    An inability to engage in debate... a sure fire characteristic of an intellectual powerhouse

    See this the thing, i dont see it as a debate it is so clear he was genuinely hurt.

    should the ref have given a tko stoppage to chavez? who would win between froch and bute? is mosley shot? is pac on roids?

    those are debates, but this thread isnt. i know im stubborn, perhaps its a character flaw but oh well.

    no way in hell did dirrel fake it.

    DQ was rightous - I give AA the benifit of the doubt though.

    Dirrell was KTFO - crying and **** after the fight. His performance was awsome - dont know who he did not fight like that against Froch - cause of nerves or did he feel Froch's power and run.


    Loving the Super 6 as when it is done all unanswered questions on the fighters will be clear.

    My thoughts are:

    Fact: Dirrel was way up by rounds even in Armenia.
    fact: Abraham hit him when he was down.

    Then there is some SPECULATION.


    Question: Do fighters some times get away with that?

    I think Abrahams camp practiced a low upper cut because Dirrel deliberately gets that low in fights. He did it all throughout the Froch fight. Thing is, we all called his ass out on it and he changed somewhat in the Abraham fight. Which was ALLOT better. He didnt do it until then. Which was a slip BUT I dont think Abraham knew that. I think he had been waiting the hole time for "that duck" and saw it and let it go. You could here this in his voice when they asked then showed him. he realized then that he had slipped.
    He also saw what the poster says about him faking it. I immediately thought this because everything seemed wrong. He moved his arms - which they would have tensed. Along with the rest of his body as it involuntarily spasmmed. This happen immediately yet it didnt here...
