    It happens quite a bit actually.

    This one did seem weird though. If he was truly hurt then it's gonna be tough to come back because it did look bad.

    Yes, faking. Ive never seen someone truly get knocked out, partly signal to the ref, and then drop completely out like that and shake. When they drop and shake, they are out as soon as they get punched.

    Nah, that was no acting he got rocked. This is not MMA you can't hit a guy when he is down.

    He was , especially watching his antics in the corner with all that talk trying to sound like he totally lost his memory and doesn't even know he is a pro boxer . :lol:

    Do you know what happened Andre ...

    '' I got dropped !??! ''

    '' No ... you won by DQ ... ''


    :lol:

    I dont know... Im on the fence. I lean towards no...

    But he surely felt that AA was coming on strong and had been under pressure that round and the 10th (where he was KDed even)... so possibly. Also it does look suspicious in the replay..

    Don't know.. I hope not.

    I said this in another thread. The same people calling AA a murderous one punch KO artist are now the same assholes saying that his free shot on a defenseless Dirrell wasn't enough to KO him. WTF people. Do you even think before you type?

    He had a delayed reaction but anyone who couldn't realize he had a serious concussion is a jack ass.

    I stuck up for Dirrell v Froch, but, who knows about this, the fight needs to be rematched.

    How many times did Direll "slip or fall over", how many times have we seen boxers get caught while on one knee... then get on with businesa... if every boxer caught on one knee is going to go down like they are comatose, the game in future is going to be a very different place.

    If the games going to turn into something where someone can slip onto one knee, get caught by the aggressive fighter throwing, then win the fight for doing so, we might as well call it a day.

    I've no idea if Dirrell was sincere or not, but I think it fair to say it looked dodgy, and a rematch (which obviously can't happen) should be the order of the day.

    You've never seen a delayed reaction on a punch?

    He wanted a way out cuz AA was starting to get to him. Oh well we didn't miss much. . .Dirrell was gonna be on his bike big time anyway had the fight continued.

    I don't get all this "faking it" talk.....he got ****ing smoked after a slip and had no reason to fake anything as he was well ahead and in no real trouble....sour grapes? The shot that hit him was a full on power shot from Abraham that Dirrell didnt see coming....it's no surprise that it ****ed Dirrell up....it didnt "barely" hit him either, you could hear it land and it was probably Abrahams best shot of the fight.

    There are thousands of fights where people have been caught when they are down.

    You realize the man most likely has a serious concussion right? Show a little bit of respect.
