    I dont know how anybody can say i think Dirrell was getting the decison ???? the guy was acting , it is ****ing clear , it was about as clear as Nate Campbell saying " i cant see , stop the fight " with both eyes wide open :lol:

    Its questionable yes , and Dirrell was ahead on the score cards , but if some heat at the end of a fight against a bullish pressure fighter is all you can handle then man your in the wrong tourney .

    If Dirrell did cheat and play act , how can he look in the mirror and say im a fighter , im a born fighter ??? ask yourself that , if he didnt then man im so sorry , but i think he did looking at the replays .

    I suppose that an exhausted Dirrell would've hung on and won the 12 rounder had it gone the distance....... But I clearly saw how tired Dirrell was after round 9 in his corner......

    Could Dirrell have lasted 15 rds with Abe? I'm not so sure about that..... This is a rare time in which the 12 round limit hindered Art Abe..... Dirrell was wilting and Abe had a second or third wind brewing at the time of the 11th round DQ!!

    I'm no fan of Dirrell, but the kid was gonna take this. Any thoughts of Dirrell being ripe for the KO are in some fantasy or alternate reality cos thats not what was happening, I think Dirrell would have seen it through and had enough to get to the finish line.

    I'd say Abraham had about about a 80% chance of winning the last 2 rounds and a 30-40% chance of getting a KO.

    yea I expected Dirrell to beat Abraham but I gotta admit I've been arguing non-stop with these people who are acting like all of a sudden Dirrell is some kind of p4p guy.

    It´s hard to call. Maybe he would have catched Dirrell, but probably Dirrell had taken the UD. Dirrell seemed to be a bit tired at the end of the fight and AA still had something left.

    Whether or not, AA would have knocked him out, or not, all endings would have been better than the actual one. So, I didn´t vote, because I can´t decide.

    I don't know, and that's why I want to see these two rematch somewhere in the near future!

    I voted yes but I could be wrong - who knows? It looked to me like Dirrel was feeling the pressure but good at not showing it.

    Have to say i'm really suprised with the results of the poll so far, no way did i expect so many people to think that Arthur was getting the KO. The thing i'm really disappointed about was that he took away his chance to KO him with that with a stupid punch, even if Dirrell did fake it (which i don't believe he did) Arthur should not have thrown that punch at all.

    I think we could do away with alot of the speculation about 12 rounders if the powers that be just brought back 15 rounders.

    20% chance max - AA has KO power, Dirrell was fading - but it would have been sensational if it had happened.

    edit - just voted (NO) and shocked by the results. Yes votes are for people saying he WOULD have not he COULD have lol.
