In the night's most important fight, Andre Dirrell defeated Arthur Abraham of BWhit's Death is Forming by 11th round Disqualification. The slick-boxing Dirrell controlled the action with sharp combinations and high activity. Abraham stalked but found limited success, even getting floored in the 4th round by a big left hand. With Dirrell up on points, Abraham chased him into a corner in round 11, and Dirrell slipped. Abraham then fired a right to the chin while Dirrell was down, disqualifying himself and giving Dirrell the win. Dirrell was very emotional when he got up after a few minutes on the canvas. The Free Agent Dirrell moves to 19-1, while "King" Arthur Abraham moves to 31-1. BWhit's struggling team moves to 5-3.
