The problem with the DQ

No point reading past here. Europe isn't a country. Even if it was, Armenia isn't in it. Even if we call Abraham German, why do you think someone in the UK or France or Italy is automatically emotionally attached to a German over an American?

 

:deal


Another reason why this should be the case is because there's no way to truly tell how much an illegal punch has hurt a boxer. Some fighters will act macho and pretend it didn't hurt as much as it did. Others will overplay it and make the most of it. This is human nature and the difference between characters.

In Dirrell I think we have seen an example of someone hamming it up. That is not to say the punch didn't land. That is not to say the punch didn't hurt. And it is not to say that AA didn't deserve the DQ (something a lot of idiots on here don't seem to understand). Dirrell had taken much harder punches throughout the earlier rounds.

 

wow....the ignorance!!! atschatsch

Like, America is one country isn't it :nut

For your information, the Brits in general would sooner root for USA than Germany/Italy!!!

 

I have no problem with the DQ.

I can see why people want a NC, Tyson got a NC from a punch after the bell.
After having watched the punch over and over again, I don't know that it was intentionally evil, but just in the heat of the moment.

Dirrell earned his 2 points and Abraham needs to come out with an apology, even if it was unintentional, it was still a foul.

Any news on Dirrell, hopefully hes okay.

 

Dirrell recieved a major concussion from that blow there is no way the fight should have gone on

 

Ok so what woud the result have been if Abraham was winning?? KO for Abraham?? Do you even understand what you're saying?

 

Really?

 

so why didnt barrera get disqualified @ 3:55?

maybe Marquez should take some acting lessons from Dirrell haha

 

With the number of people calling Fake, i think its safe to say there was some degree of dramatization on Dirrell's part. How much is open to debate in my eyes, but the fact that he put it on is irrefutable now, we know he was not in hospital overnight, and not concussed....The way he was blinking had me thinking of Benn-McLellan all over again..

 

Yes it's his fault for hitting his opponent while they were down.

Why should Abraham be rewarded for fouling his opponent??? Just because you're winning a fight you cant be DQ'd??? The problem is you think what happened in the fight should make a difference.

 

I think that was the proper ruling. I believe you usually get 5 minutes to recover from a foul before continuing, but i don't think dirrel was ready in 5 minutes. also, he was literally unconsious. it would not be safe to ask a boxer to fight 5 minutes after he got knocked out. the doctors were suspecting he had bleeding on his brain & sent him to the hospital to verify he was ok. that turned out not to be the case, but any referee who tried to let that fight go on would be totally out of line & probably looking for a new job on Monday.
