Participant of Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament Allan Green (US), who was present at the fight between Arthur Abraham (Germany) and Andre Dirrell (US), thinks at the time of the incident it wasn't looking good for Dirrell and he could simulate the knockdown to avoid the fight continuation.

“I think he could have continued or could have taken five minutes,” Green told BoxingScene.com. “The last four minutes would have been interesting to see. I thought Dirrell could have continued and kept fighting. He laid there for a second and everything was fine and then he started shaking. Then he got up and said he was knocked out and didn't know what happened. If you didn't know what happened, then how can you say you got knocked out."

Green thinks that if a boxer gets knocked down from a punch, and starts shaking.....there is something really wrong. “If you get hit like that, where you down and start shaking, you are going to be in the hospital for a few days and you are not fighting for a while. You are not going to get up and start walking around. I wanted Darrel to win. I just would have liked to see what would have happened in the last few rounds if he would have continued," Green noted.

Green also disagreed with the referee's ruling on the tenth round knockdown. "If you go down after getting hit, it's a knockdown. The punch was the cause. If he didn't take that punch, he probably wouldn't have gone down. He wasn't the same when he got up and he continued to get hit after that," Green said.

Arthur Abraham was disqualified during the fight vs. Andre Dirrell in the middle of the 11th round. Dirrell went down from Abraham’s punch, and the Armenian boxer hit him from the right, after which Dirrell fell down and managed to stand up only in several minutes after a medical aid.
