    Okay, i'm going to stop reply because for the 4th time you're not reading my text and making points that are irrelevant if you read my text - i was talking about situations where one is knocked out COLD, the convulsing type of KO's. Which excludes Hatton vs Mayweather since that's a normal TKO. Caprice? Plus, learn how to quote when you make a big post.

    To a degree. I think he was hurt but he decided to get a DQ and it was a smart decision. I think the shaking gave him away as it was different from the stock-still posture or more limited leg or arm twitching that results from a brutal KO.

    You would be surprised how much better the list gets when you eliminate the people that are just here to troll.

    Anyone who totally rules out Dirrell exaggerating is naive, and an idiot.

    This thread has really sickened me.

    I am only a few pages in, so I'm hoping by the time people have been able to rewatch the offending blow and the slightly earlier slip, they will have completely changed their minds on the matter but to see such disgusting behaviour from Abraham and to understand how dangerous this could have been for Andre, well, it makes me cringe. Especially as I remember all the serious injuries and fatalities I've seen in the ring! And that is when they had their guard up and were expecting incoming blows, which Direll just wasn't prepared or ready for.

    Very sad!

    Abraham has gone so far down for me now! He's the lowest of the low! A true scumbag!

    JR That's bollocks and you know it! You are being right out of order there! Just an excuse to have a shitty dig at the Brits, eh?

    Look past the thread again, tell me how many Brits think he was faking... go on, how many? Now have a look at how many people claiming he was faking are American... Could it possibly be that the vast majority of people thinking he was faking are... AMERICAN?!? No!!!

    Well aint that amazing!

    And this shite you are claiming about Brits being against Dirrell cause of the "Froch controversy". Basically you are just making **** up, aren't you? No Brit is againt Dirrell. If you remember, Froch won the fight, so why would any Brit have any problem about it?
    Brits aren't anywhere near as nationalitic asy ou lot. We don't need a fighter to be born and raised on these islands for us to support him, which is why so Many Brits supported Dirrell in that fight and dislike Froch.

    In other words, stop being such an obnoxious gobshite, eh?

    No, get off your high horse, dick. Abraham called him an actor, not me. I only asked the board for an opinion and gave mine. :hi:


    Unless you'd rather a world where nobody talked about anything that ever happened???

    You misunderstand me... you can discuss anything you want, but I really don't see any evidence presented that shows Dirrell acted or exaggerated,
    that's why you need to come up with some evidence instead of solely speculating upon the video from the fight.

    Everyone has an opinion, but you gotta back up your accusations imo.

    Evidence???? What, apart from Abraham's accusations????

    So do we need evidence of Pacquiao taking PED's before starting a thread on that too??? Dude, you're way off, your logic is absolutely ****ed.

    :patsch:patsch:patsch

    No you can do what you want, but it would be meaningless to start accusing a boxer of taking PED's and discredit their whole career without evidence.

    my final word on this, I promise. After watching this again I conclude the following.

    1. I don't believe he was knocked out cold. He was in a semi-stuporous state. He was hurt badly but probably semi-conscious. He may never have lost total consciousness.

    2. He was not convulsing! This has been a red herring all along I now realize. He was moving his legs back and forth as best I can tell. He was writhing.

    The punch hit him in the jaw, which snapped his head to the side with great velocity, setting his brain in motion, bouncing against his skull. He suffered a mild concussion. He was badly hurt and semi-conscious. He fell down with some motor control intact. He was badly hurt and lay there, not unlike George Foreman in the Ali fight (who made similar repetitive motions that were done in a semi-conscious state). He did not convulse or twitch but was disoriented and was not in control of his muscles.

    3. There was no brain damage visible to MRI because concussions do not cause such damage. Please see work by Dr. Paul Mcrory the word's expert in sports concussion and cited earlier.

    The end.
