Abraham knocks his opponents out even when he looses! That should've been headline of this article. Dirrell is a wimp! He walked in the rings with fear in his eyes and walked out with tears in his eyes. He was crying like a wimp. Dirrell was running away and you cant win the fight if you're running unless judges do it for you. If you keep running you you'll eventually get caught or slip like what happened to Dirrell. Ring is small you cant runaway too far)). If Dirrell didn't fall he'd probably get knocked out right there, in that corner but for real. His acting was hilarious! He stopped for a second then threw himself on the floor but you can see how he didn't let his head hit the floor. When people get knocked out and lights go out they cant control their body, it falls lifelessly on the floor. You also don't stop for a moment and think what to do. It was too obvious and I'm sure judges noticed but they wouldn't rule against their guy plus they must've feared black riot there)) The ref was on the Dirrell's side too. He didn't call the obvious knockdown in the 10th round, didn't warn him for holding and low blows but was quick to save Dirrell when he was cornered and Abraham was using his hand to measure before unloading power punch. Despite all that Dirrell knew he wouldn't see the end of the 12th round. So, when opportunity presented he chose to fake a knockout rather than get really knocked out. I say to make him qualified for Oscar he should quit the tournament like Jermain Taylor after being knocked out by Abraham.

I agree with rose. Cmmon Arthur knocked him down, and referees did not count it as knock down. Two judges from michigan sure were helping Dirrill. I wish Arthur did not do the second punch, I am sure he would finish Dirrill in next two rounds.

while I do not justify Arthur, Dirrell CLEARLY acted when pretending that the blow was something throwing him out of balance. Pitiful and perhaps even unnecessary act - he was winning by points by that time. Perhaps he was afraid of Arthur's final blow? In any case - I don't think there was a winner out of this ugly situation.

I was disappointed with Arthur’s performance overall because of his usual late start and I though Dirrell fought really well in the first 7 rounds. I though Arthur started picking up some momentum in the later rounds and Dirrell was starting to look worried. In round 10 I was pretty apparent that a knock out was just around the corner. Arthur was any second away from landing a big KO but unfortunately Arthur made a big mistake and hit him while he was down. I though the hit was late and unnecessary but its worth noting that Dirrell hit him on the growing twice with no warning and even attacked him the second time as Arthur tried to recover from the blow. Note to mention he head butted him and feel to his knees and held Arthur when he was in trouble. Any active viewer that happens to look at the replay several times could tell Dirrell took advantage of the opportunity and performed some very bad acting. He paused, looked at his opponent, raised his hand; feel on his shoulder not the head. Then after several seconds started twitching his legs lol. I mean if a guy was knocked out cold he would have immediately feel straight on his head without all the emotion and lag time showed by Dirrell. I wish he had the heart to stand back up like a man and fight Arthur another two rounds and win it fare and square if he was truly the better boxer. I am not saying Arthur is the best skilled boxer as we all know he is not, but he had that fight in his sights in the latter rounds and a knockout was unavoidable. I wish the fight went the distance no matter what the outcome may have been. Hope he fights better next time and doesn’t wait for 7 rounds to finally start fighting. I must say if Khoren Gevor had Arthur’s power and heart he would be the best fighter in boxing as his skills are far more superior to Arthur’s.

the match was exciting. Artur was good not super as always but not bad either. There was an impression that he hadn't examined dirrel's previous matches well enough. The guy was good too, but it seemed that he and his coach had elaborated a very good tactic for fighting Artur which included the very often ''slipping'' of direll during the match.
