Dan Rafael says Dirrell's career may be over.

[krispy kreme]

But remember according to the brain surgeons on this board who are all certified physicians in their respective states there is no way one blow from a man who has knocked people out with one punch could ever cause any brain injury.

Didn't you read the report in Mens health about this LOL?

I know, it is ridiculous. Abraham caught Dirrell while Dirrell wasn't even prepared for the punch. Even with video evidence people still somehow think Dirrell was acting.

[Mexicunt]

I don't think that AA punched him on purpose. I think that he tasted blood and his instincts took over.

What AA dd doesn't even compare to what resto or Margacoward were doing.

[STRUGG]

this is a sad news indeed.....................

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

His condition has little to do with just the power in Abraham's blow, but also where he was stricken-on the temple.

To clarify, that's a fiction in this article.


He wasn't hit on the temple. He was hit on the jaw. Watch it.

I was responding to,

"His condition has little to do with just the power in Abraham's blow, but also where he was stricken-on the temple."


He mentions the temple like it's significant to the type of disorder Dirrell has supposedly developed, when, in fact, Dirrell wasn't hit on the temple, although the article states he was.



Like I said, just to clarify.

[Mikhnienko]

Abraham is no Paulie Malignaggi. He hits hard and he caught Dirrell off guard with a brutal shot. Flush. Not even Jones DQ over Griffin was half as brutal.

Give me a break.

No..just no.

Read again. Dirrell underwent CAT scans, MRI's and MRA's and the doctor determined from there that Dirrell is unable to fight.

The thing that raises doubts aside from the in the ring stuff is that he underwent all that testing post fight, nothing was found and he was released form hospital 2-3 hours later.......?

So he's going into movies now?

lulz

You're right. You can see that it was glancing and along his jaw line in the gif above.

I call bullshit.

is that your official medical opinion?

[Siggy]

a 7 figure fight that has no venue?
bullsht
the rafael "article' is not evidence either way.
why even sit at the negotiating table and hammer out the details, try to get a venue, etc if your fighter is having symptoms of having a neurological problem.

i find this quote very interesting, from his own trainer.

Has Andre been able to spar since the symptoms began?

Not at all. We haven't been in the gym since the Arthur Abraham fight. To tell you the truth, Andre is the heaviest that he's ever been. That's something that we're looking at also. Andre is walking around at around 190-something.

That's something, because Andre usually walks around at just around 170-something

he hasnt done sht since the abraham fight. if his "headaches and dizziness" were such a constant factor in his life that he cant even do non contact exercise, we wouldve heard SOMETHING about that.

no venue, both he and ward want more money, fights supposedly a month and a half away, vs a guy who he doesnt even wanna fight and dirrell's 25+ lbs overweight, etc.
very convenient "problem."

were there abnormalities in the post-fight or subsequent tests? or are they just going by dirrell's word that he's been suffering from headaches?
if someone in his team or who has been around dirrell caught wind of these "constant" symptoms throughout the past 6 months, you best believe we wouldve heard about it by now.
