Dirrell schooled Abraham in the fight, he was just too fast for him and even dropped him in round 4 I believe. Dirrell also dropped him once again a bit later in the fight but it was not counted for some reason, Dirrell hit him with a counter that would've sent Abraham to the canvas had the ropes not held him up. Abraham also dropped Dirrell once, although Abraham did drop Dirrell again but the ref. didn't count it as a knockdown (their feet got tangled up, but it did look like a legit knockdown).
In round 10, the fight was getting a bit closer as Abraham was starting to pressure Dirrell a bit more. In round 11 Dirrell was once again moving around, boxing, until Dirrell slipped. Once Dirrell slipped, he landed on one knee and was sort of sitting down, Abraham then hit him with a very hard flush on the chin which resulted in a DQ.
Dirrell was absolutely out of it, when he woke up he actually thought he lost the fight by KO as he couldn't remember anything, he was crying thinking he lost. He was very emotional in the fight, his legs were twitching when he was on the floor, it looks like he got a concussion.
The official score cards were:
98-91, 97-92, 97-92 all for Dirrell.
