proof dirrell wasn't faking?????

Andre Dirrell Update By Mariano A. Agmi Promoter Gary Shaw has provided an update on the condition of Andre Dirrell after the blow he suffered when Abraham landed a huge right hand to his head while he was down. “Andre suffered a concussion. One doctor thought he suffered a seizure. His thoughts were very scrambled. He went from yelling to everyone over at Showtime, ‘who called me a coward’ to yelling ‘they knocked me out’ to ‘where’s the fight? I want to fight,’” stated Shaw. Shaw explained that the Michigan State Athletic Commission should have taken additional precautions when a disheveled Dirrell seemed disoriented and confused following the incident. “I think the fact that Michigan has not done a lot of big fights created some problems within the ring,” explained the promoter. “ should have been taken from the ring in a stretcher and transported immediately to the hospital. Instead he walked to the dressing room and while there was absolutely scrambled”. Shaw also noted that Dirrell spent three hours undergoing neurological testing at the hospital and despite being cleared, was still visibly shaken. The promoter reported that Dirrell seemed better yesterday and would fully recover from the setback to battle against fellow American Olympian Andre Ward in Group Stage 3 of the tournament. http://www.*********.com/?p=41588#more-41588 some people owe this dude an apology...

I never said Dirrell didn't deserve to win. In fact I think he was on his way to victory anyway. my bad, :rofl::rofl: i was rooting for abraham and his tutle defense gave the fight away and ref only did what he thought was right

Another opinion? It's not even an opinionated article, it's pretty much saying that a doctor said he had a concussion. Stop digging a bigger hole for yourself. "pretty much" is not proof. and i said "most of the time." stop nit picking.

but gary shaw stated that dirrell did have a concussion...i'd take shaw's word for it...his voice is credible enough...that means it's not second hand information...he was not cleared at the hospital either...yelling incoherently at everyone...what else do you need? These guys are getting punched in the head. A lot of them suffer concussions. There's different levels of concussion. For all we know AA had a concussion. Dirrell was complaining about head and jaw soreness like it's not the norm in a grueling prize fight. That's not really proof.

Exactly! He got exposed as one dimensional ala Clottey. He does have a lot of power and can knock motherf*ckers out but fighting like that against slick fighters doesn't get you any results. Ward and Dirrell will beat AA any time, any day. Favorite All Time Fighter Erik "El Terrible" Morales (49-6-0), green k to that

i wasn't whining at all. i was just pointing out posting something that says this or shows that isn't proof. most of the time it's just another opinion. and i realize that dirrell was winning, but anything could have happened in the last minutes of the fight. i will have nice day, thank you.

yeah ward would murder AA...i think that if martinez went up to 160 to fight him...he'd destroy AA...even that bum pavlik would probably mix it up with him...it's really crazy how bad he was exposed and confused in that fight...dirrell's footwork confused the hell out of him... i'm still a fan of AA...but his stock has dropped substantially...

not emotional at all.....you are just a whinger......... i like AA, picked him to win and was rooting for him...but now his so called "fans" have turned me against him due to incessant bitching and crying...... Dirrell exposed and dominated him to the point where he was so frustrated he committed a foul and was rightfully DQ'd. If you stopped licking the mans sack and opened your eyes you would realise that. Have a nice day :D i wasn't whining at all. i was just pointing out posting something that says this or shows that isn't proof. most of the time it's just another opinion. and i realize that dirrell was winning, but anything could have happened in the last minutes of the fight. i will have nice day, thank you.

Andre made abraham look worse than his one dimensional ass looks already. I can't understand how people are such a big fan of his when he's not that great of a boxer. He's just got POWER. I rather see a boxer counter, move and dodge than just do a turtle defense and swing every once every while. abrahams tutle defense lost him the fight
