    How do you rate King Arthur's power on a 1-10? Well, it goes down in the record book as a DQ loss, but in my book anytime you knock someone out and they are on ground twitching it is a moral victory. All I know is I would of much rather of been Abraham than Dirrell come fights end.


    What a punch! What a KO!

    Why? Dirrell's pain is only temporary but his victory is their forever.

    I consider that acceptable losses for Abraham. He really flattened him good!

    1. It wasn't a title fight. 2. Abraham is still in the lead of the Super 6 tournament. 3. A Dq win for Dirrell is not as impressive as a decision or stoppage. All people are going to remember from this fight is Dirrell getting KTFO big time.

    Wrong. Most will remember how limited and desperate Abraham looked throughout the fight, culminating in what transpired during round 11. Abraham's turtle shell defense and wide, winging hooks aren't going to pull him out of the fire every fight, not with the caliber of opponents on the docket for this tourney.

    Quite a devastating win for Dirrell ...if he seriously was as gone as it looked then it might take him some time to recover and its possible he never will...others fighters have been destroyed by bad KO´s before him.

    I wasnt impressed. Dirrell took some clean shots and he took them easy. Dirrell leaves his hands down and tries to dodge punches with his athleticism. Which leaves him open to be caught big and the only time Abraham really ever shook Dirrell was on a straight right that was really mostly Dirrell tripping then being stunned.

    Against a fighter like Ward who is just as fast as Dirrell but more orthodox defensively, I dont see those same openings for Abraham and I dont see those punches getting threw. And if he cant hurt Ward he's going to lose big like he was losing to Dirrell.

    He's fought one more fight than the other four fighters, so it's hardly impressive that he's still in the lead.

    What? Abraham lost his 0, are you telling me that is not very important to a modern fighter where it is much easier to get media coverage and public recognition if you have that, with getting DQ'd he took away any last chance he had for a late KO. Not to mention the fans he lost cause of his actions the other night. And he's in the lead now but with numerous fights still to happen, he could find himself in third in the table going into the last round and if he loses to Froch may be out of the tournament altogether. How is that acceptable?

    "Hollywood" Dirrell is getting a contract with Hollywood for his great acting. Dirrell was getting hurt.

    So.........you have just proven that Dirrell was faking it. You said that Abraham's punch can't hurt Dirrell, well.........well.........

    WTF kinda post is that, he could not hurt him? but knocked him the **** out, fair enough illegally but he could obviously still hurt him then. Dirrell said on his twitter page today that Athur is the hardest hitting person in the division, that means he obviously has hit harder that anyone Dirrell previous people he has faced but its only because all Arthur's opponents are tired yeah?:hi:

    What you are saying does't make sense. What he hit him with was a sucker punch. Of course even you can knock someone out if they are just sitting there with their chin hanging out. That isn't an indication of what his power is like when the fighter is upright/aware.

    He can knock a fighter out with a legal punch also, like the one he knocked Dirrell down with in the 9th round. Good thing Dirrell's ref called it a slip, video proved him wrong too. Dirrell was not the same after he was knocked down.

    Yes he CAN because he's done it before to others. But he DIDN'T. You pointed to the fact that he knocked AD out as an indication. When in reality it was a sucker punch.
