Slipping on purpose great tactic for punchers

Against Carl Froch Direll purposely slipped 5 times when he was in danger of receiving a bomb. At the beginning of the fight with Abraham he immediatelly slipped and complained of slippery surface. When Abraham was trying to knock him out in the 11th he slips on purpose to avoid getting knocked down.

I noticed similar tactic by Corey Spinks against Mayorga and Zahir Raheem against Freitas.

It seems to be a good tactic against big punchers.

 

Look I gave you examples of other fights when this tactic was applies. I am not saying that he planned to get a DQ win. I do not think he faked the injury, the punch was legit and he was defensless. All I'm saying that it is a good tactic for huge punchers to be prepared to slip on purpose when being in danger. He didnt do it in other fights because he want facing big punchers, he did it in Froch and Abraham fights quite a lot. The two other examples also include big punchers in Mayorga and Freitas.

 

Yea I have. He does that quite a lot. He was in the corner and Arthur was ready to deliver punches. When he slips, the ref will come rule it a slip, give him 5 seconds to catch a breath and they continue in the center of the ring again. If the punch connects when he slips the ref will rule it a slip (the ref already ruled a slip a clean KD by Abraham). This has nothing to do with the follow up punch that was delivered when he was down, which was illegal because he was clearly down when the shot was delivered.

 

???

How many times do I have to say that it has nothing to do with the follow up punch which was illegal and unnecessary. I am not saying that Direll cheated. All I'm saying is that it is a good tactic against big punchers .

 

Are you an athlete?

Ok how many times has Direll slipped in this fight and Froch fight. 7 times I believe and thats a fact, so at the very least you have to admit that the guy often slips or has slippery shoes. Coincidence that other slicksters (Spinks and Raheem) slipped many times against big punchers (Mayorga, Freitas) ?

The slipping obviously helps him. He is facing big puncher and using his athleticism, speed and reflexes he manages to avoid most exchanges but not all, sometimes he gets trapped in the corner and has to absorb some punches. If he slips, then the referee has to call a halt and he gets a few seconds of a breather plus the action is back in the center of the ring and the other guy has to reset. If he gets caught by one of the punches but slips at the same time then the ref wont call it a KD but a slip.
