    Meldrick Taylor comes to mind as a guy ruined by one fight. Unforunately, Abraham/Dirrell reminded me alot of Taylor/Chavez. You have one guy clearly out working and boxing the other while deceptively taking very big shots sporadically throughout the fight; though in this case the KO punch was from an illegal blow. Hopefully, Dirrell can rebound physically and mentally.

    That's the first thing I thought of after the fight. Dirrell might never be the same, and it will be from an illegal punch, not a legit KO. I hope he comes back ok.
