Add me to the Dirrell Won boat. I thought he boxed the shit outta Froch. He did look a lil wild tho. I think he isnt back because he secretly has long term damage from the Arthur Lamebraham fight.

yeah...ppl sleep on things like double and triple vision...but it's real. i had one of my guys suffer an injury like that and it was months before he was right again. health is the most important thing in these matters. no one every questioned kessler pulling out with his injury...but everyone and their momma accused dirrell of being full of shit.

Sorry to piss in everybody's cereal. i though the Froch fight could have gone either way. It was a close fight. I got really tired of Dirrell's flopping and holding. I thought he flat out quit against Abraham. Abraham was timing him and started coming on late. the punch that he got hit with while on his knees didn't look that hard. I know, I know it was in the back of his head. Looked like a delayed reaction from him. I think fighters are now told to take a dive if you get hit in the back of the head. It seems like that is becoming more and more common. Didn't it just happen recently twice on HBO. the ref refused to stop the fight in one fight and didn't Arce or somebody just quit in his fight because of this same shit. Dirrell quit at a good time gainst Abraham. I was a fan until those 2 fights.

ppl don't think punches like that hurt. u see montell griffin against jones.....everybody and their momma thought he faked that. u are mentioning the fight against abraham....and the arce fight. i can recall the soto fight against the dominican kid. not sure u realize it or not...but ur central nervous system stem is located at the base of ur skull. that is a very dangerous punch to take. i see refs give warning for those kinds of punches but never really do much about them. i believe that shot should be taken much more seriously than any other penalty. it's a shot that can kill u. it's a blatant foul. if u don't believe me...go back and watch nigel benn/gerald mcclellan. benn was allowed to land that punch all night. we all saw what happened gman.

i get what ur saying about dirrell's flopping....but to be honest....even with all the ugly flopping....froch was not able to do anything noteworthy. and as for AA's shot while dirrell was down....this isn't mma and i believe he did that out of frustration...much the same way roy did against montell. it's bullshit.
