Did anyone see the Direll Abraham fight, and if so wtf happened? Was Direll ahead, and Abraham lost it through frustration?

Dirrell did what many fighters have threatened to do to Abraham and that's expose the fact that he covers up to much and doesn't throw enough punches. It was kind of like the Pacquiao/Clottey fight with Abraham simply getting outworked.

I actually thought the knockdown against him in the 4th was harsh, because Dirrell used his forearm to puch him back before throwing the punch. Not that it made much difference, because Dirrell was clearly winning anyway. When Abraham did open up you could see it was the same Andre Dirrell who is simply s**t scared of getting hit, but that didn't happen very much at all.

The finish was warrented, although it did look like Dirrell made a bit of a meal of it. Abraham has only got himself to blame though, because he could see Dirrell was down (from a slip) and still cracked him.

I bet big on Abraham stoppage or Dirrell points win, really didn't think there was anyway I could lose...
