Super Middleweight Bout (12 Rds)

Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KOs) wins by disqualification at 1:13, 11th rd over Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KOs)

Towards the end of the fourth round, Abraham downed with a straight left (up right away). In the 10th round,

Dirrell went down from a straight right but because it looked like he tripped over Abraham's foot, it was not

ruled a knockdown. In the 11th round, Dirrell was stepping back to avoid a punch, slipped and went down -

and while he was down on one knee trying to get up, Abraham nailed him with a right hook that put Dirrell flat

on his back - knocked out. The ref immediately jumped in and disqualified Abraham for intentionally hitting a

downed opponent. At the time of the stoppage, the judges had the bout scored 97-92, 98-91, 97-92 for

Dirrell.
