Although Taylor boxed well in the first half of the fight Abraham took control the last half rocking Taylor in round seven and hurting him in round nine then finally knocking him out in spectacular fashion with a well placed straight right in the final seconds of round twelve. There was no need for a count Taylor was out before he hit the canvas. Abraham received 3 points for his KO win.

Abraham lost to Andre Dirrell (19-1-0, 13 KOs) by 11th round disqualification in Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic Group Stage 2 on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. An unbalanced Abraham was knocked down for the first time in his boxing career in round four. Abraham was badly over the right eye by a headbutt in round eight which bleed profusely throughout the bout. Dirrell was knocked down by a straight right in round ten but Abraham did not get credit for a knockdown because referee Lawrence Cole ruled it a slip. Slow motion shots clearly showed that it was a punch that put Dirrell down on his ass on the canvas not a slip or a trip. Abraham hit Dirrell on the chin in round eleven and followed up with a right to the head not noticing that Dirrell's knee was already on the canvas. In a seemingly delayed reaction Dirrell fell on his back on the canvas knocked out. Abraham was disqualified for hitting Dirrell when he was down.
