Abraham was way behind on points. He was just looking for one punch to knock him out. There was certainly a knockdown that the referee didnt consider and that could have changed the story of the fight, however the illegal blow existed and I think the diqualification was correct.

I agree with the protest completely. Talk about racism. Arthur got robbed.

I personally watched the match, and I wouldn't say that Arthur was brilliant as usual, but Dirrell was somehow very suspiciously slipping during the whole match, and this was not noticed by Cole ???????. I guess it was Dirrell who was supposed to be disqualified for slipping too frequently and rather awkwardly (whenever Artur was about to hit him down he was ready to slip down). His promoters, I guess should get a better pair of boxing boots for him. Dirrell was not fighting but rather stealing out some scores. BEST WISHES TO ARTHUR
