''Andre Dirrell has withdrawn from the Super 6 with an 'injury' according to Ken Hershman. Ward will fight on Nov 27th vs TBA''
Holly ****, this better not be true.
Its pretty obvious that Dirrel thinks hel loose to Ward which makes it unlikely that he would reach the semis. That would leave him with two defeats and no upcoming fights. But this is seriously week, I still thought he had a decent chance of beating Ward and even if he did loose, theres no shame in that.
If it's true then that seriously dents 2010 boxing.
Meh, I don't blame Andre he was getting screwed in this tournament.
He had to fight undefeated Carl Froch, undefeated Arthur Abraham, and undefeated Andre Ward.
Meanwhile all Glen Johnson was gonna have to do was knock out bum ass Allen Green and he would have advanced over Dirrell if Dirrell had lost to Ward.
If Kessler was going to punk out knowing he could avoid tough fights and then just challenge the winner you can't blame other guys for following suit.
We will see how Showtime handles this.
