Arthur Abraham

[Westside]

What I found impressive is that all of these guys look like they have been in training camp for the past two months. It appears these guys are serious in winning this tornament and capturing the world's attention.

I am starting to wonder about Kelly Pavlik career. He needs to get back in the ring. His upcoming fight with Sergio Mora is puzzling. After his win against him I will give him a pass. But his next fight better be against the next black hope. It better be against Williams.

I can't wait to see Abraham knock Jermain Taylor out. Taylor is going up against the strongest fighter he has ever faced in Abraham. I expect Taylor to win some rounds working the jab from a distance. Eventually Abraham will find an opening and finish Taylor.

Excellent matchup to look forward to this weekend: Abraham vs. Dirrell.

I'm hoping for anothe KO by Abraham, but my concern is that Dirrell will run the whole fight and yet receive a gift decision.

 

[Tired old White]

It has been my experience that a European fighting a black American had best take the decision out of the hands of the judges. The single exception I can think of is Calzaghe -Hopkins and even then one of the judges tried to give it to Hopkins

 

[whiteathlete33]

The fight is taking place in black central, Detroit. Abraham will probably get robbed if the fight goes to the cards. I hope he can get an early KO.

Looks like they're trying to pull the same crap Andre Ward and his handlers pulled against Kessler.

From Fightnews

The Arthur Abraham camp is up in arms over the notion of three Michigan judges scoring King Arthur's SUPER SIX fight against Andre Dirrell. Hall of Fame promoter Wilfried Sauerland told BILD, "Dirrell lives in Michigan. It's unacceptable that the judges and the referee should also come from Michigan. I reject that."Â￾ Abraham trainer Uli Wegner stated that Abraham must win by KO to take it out of the hands of the judges.

 

[whiteathlete33]

I'm not liking this at all. If the fight is even remotely close it will go to Dirrell for sure. Abraham needs to knock the trash talking negro out. He can't give away rounds. This one has me a bit worried.

 

[Charles Martel]

If Sauerland is wise, they will pull Abraham out immediately.

The rules of the Super Six clearly state the the three judges and the ref are to be from neutral countries. Not only are these four officials from the US, they are all from Michigan.

Dirrell will be protected and Abraham will be deducted points without a reason. Dirrell will hold, headbutt and otherweise foul as much as he wants. He'll run the whole fight and still win on the cards.

 

[Westside]

If that is the case of all and most likely black judges, then Abraham's management is obligated to protest and not fight. I hope he demands neutral judges, if not look for a bad decision then blame themselves. I hope reason prevails on the side of Abraham.

 

[whiteathlete33]

He will get screwed if he doesn't knock Dirrell out. Mark my words on that.

From Fightnews

After long discussions, Team Sauerland, Gary Shaw and the Michigan Boxing Commission have agreed on officials. The referee will be Laurence Cole (Texas). Judges are Anek Hontoncan (Thailand), Guido Cavalleri (Italy) and Frank Garza (Michigan). The Abraham camp had objected to the use of local officials, however, the well respected Garza was deemed acceptable.

 

[Westside]

This is a very significant fight from a Caste perspective on two fronts.

1st, many blacks, DWFs and a certain tribe in the media are clamoring for a new black superstar to replace fraud Mayflower. Alot of them think its Andre Dirrell. They are hoping that he can knock off King Abraham. They figure it will double their chances of having an affelet to be the eventual Super Six Winner. Not gonna happen.

2nd, If King Abraham wins and in devastating fashion, it will further erase the myth of affeletic superiority and further establish White dominance in boxing of the last 8 or 9 years.

I see King Arthur getting a TKO/KO in the later rounds, sooner if he taps that thin body of Dirrell with vicious body shots, say 6th to 7th round stoppage. Or once Dirrell feels Auther's power he may try to run and hold the whole and try to steal a decision. I think Abraham will preclude that by Knocking out the newest affelet. Go King Arthur!!!

Should be an interesting fight. Too bad I gotta work tommorrow night. I will catch the reported action on CF thanks to you guys.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Abraham can't give away rounds. I am worried he's gonna start off slow like he always does and then the afflete will just run the whole fight and land a few punches here and there. He will then get the decision since the fight is in the US.

 

[The Hock]

Yeah, I think Dirrell has the style and ability to do just that. I think he'll have some early success then want more and sooner or later get caught and hurt in an exchange.

 

[albinosprint]

very upset with this fight! I truly believe Abraham would have put him down by the 12th. I also didn't like how Abraham was saying the Dirrel was a actor, I think that was very unsportsman like of him. yes, he could have been acting and I don't think Abraham hit him while down intentionally, but it wasn't very classy to say he was acting. he should have just said he didn't know that he was down and maybe show a bit of sympathy. all he needed was the 11th to tenderize him up and the 12th to put the fork in him. this really got me pissed tonight. the next fight is going to be Froch vs. Kessler and I don't want to see either of them lose, so no fun there. this was BS tonight.

 

[The Hock]

You can't let the other guy out throw you five to one for nine rounds the way Abraham did. Dirrel fought a very smart fight and made Abraham look clueless up to the tenth when Abraham woke up and started fighting.

Crappy ending. The tournament has been something of a letdown so far.

 

[Charles Martel]

Dirrell had help from his crooked his home ref, who

1) let him cut Arthur with a headbutt, but never indicated it was caused by a butt,
2) didn't count Abraham's legit knockdown in the 10th,
3) stopped the action when Arthur had Dirrell trapped on the ropes in the corner,
4) allowed repeated ballshots on AA without stopping the action, even allowed Dirrell to jump in with a massive hook, and
5) gave the negro an undeserved DQ win.

Dirrell put on quite an act at the end. He was okay, he sat up after the glancing punch, but then decided he wanted the fight to end by DQ so he put on an act. Did anybody notice that phone leg movement? That was no twitch, he was obviously doing it deliberately.

He sure was faking it. I figured the fight would go this way. Abraham would probably have knocked Dirrell out in the 11th or 12th. I also can't stand negro Antonio Tarver as an announcer. I thought him and Dirrell were lovers or something.

I'll address this now. Abraham needs to fight all 12 rounds and not start picking up in the middle to late rounds. I can agree with that. In regards to Dirrell he is a coward, a very good actor, and I believe a racist. The guy is a piece of s-it and Abraham has every right to call him a "good actor" because that's what he is. Abraham gave away too many rounds but Dirrell couldn't hurt him and that knockdown didn't hurt Abraham. I believe the negro Dirrell was hurt after taking a few power shots from the very powerful Abraham in the later rounds and faked that he was very hurt so he wouldn't have to fight anymore. Abraham shouldn't have shown any sympathy and I'm glad he didn't.

Well, we know one thing for sure, they had the usual crooked house referee in there overseeing the action.

Boxers always throw follow up punches like AA did whenever they see an opening. They don't have the luxury of taking their time and assessing every factor, like where the adversaries knees and feet happen to be.  

 

[whiteathlete33]

All I know is this bull has to stop. Ward was getting away with headbutts and Abraham was disqualified when he shouldn't have been. He was also robbed of a knockdown which I think pissed him off so much that he threw that late punch. Dirrell is just an actor.

 

[Charles Martel]

So Showtime's Hershman got what he set out for: two African-American fighters, with the help of crooked home referees, have established themselves with "wins" over top European boxers.

Interesting how Showtime, ESPN and HBO all have Jewish decision-makers. Interesting how despite being 2.5% of the American population, three of the commentators and analysts on Showtime are Jews: Farhood, Bernstein and Albert. Their subtle anti-European comments helped to cover up the crooked stuff going on with the home referees in the Ward and Kessler fights.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Funny how I picked Froch as the weakest link in the Super Six and he won against Dirrell while Abraham let too many rounds get away. I still think Abraham would knock Dirrell out if not for the acting job he pulled.

 

[JD074]

Well, I guess Dirrell slipped on the canvas one too many times!

Why did he grab his forehead when he got hit in the chin? Strange. And one of Dirrell's guys (maybe his brother?) almost created a melee in the ring. I imagine Abraham and his buddy Marco Huck would have taken care of themselves if that happened.

It's kind of sadistic, but I was actually elated when Abraham knocked him out. I jumped out of my seat! Then I learned that he was DQ'd. Oh well. It actually doesn't bother me too much. A loss is just a loss. Unblemished records are overrated. I just wish I could have seen the last round and a half. It could have been fun.

Yep!! Dirrell's "boys" looked like they wanted to do something similiar to what happened when Golota fought Bowe. Dirrell faked being hurt so badly because Abraham was getting to him and he was tired and weak. He knew that all he had to do is stay down and he would get the win rather than get up for the remaining round and a half and possibly get knocked out.
