ANDRE DIRRELL has been lying his a$$ off...

Yea I've always found that weird how ward gets 2 home fights 1 at home tonight Froch fought 1 at home 1 in denmark 1 tonight neutral Abraham 1 at home 1 in flint 1 neutral Dirrell had 1 at home 1 at nottingham ward fight ?? Something is up with ward's contract definitely he hasn't been out of oakland in a while now The promoters are still in business to make money. Ward lives in a big metro area and has drawn pretty well, I would guess. The economics still prevail.

Nowhere in my post do I try to blame Ward, and I wouldn't want to as I like the guy. So i'll leave that one hanging. Dirrell was violating his contract? We know he's violated it by not fighting. But this is after the back-and-forth between the parties which involved Showtime siding with Ward. You're turning the order of events upside down. I'm quite sure every fighter would have had to fight away from home at least once, otherwise the whole tournament would never have worked. I can only assume it must therefore have been provided for in their contracts. If it wasn't provided for in Ward's, but in all the other's, then that is worrying and very strange. So I can only assume it was in Ward's. So again, why didn't Showtime compel Ward? And in light of siding with him, what other concession did Dirrell have to make? The situation is not as black and white as you and other posters on here are trying to make out.

Can anyone confirm that this Dr. Shawhigh is real? I remember the episode and they didn't look 100% sure that that was the doctor's name lol. It was hilarious. You are seeing a doctor regularly, yet you NOR ANYBODY ON YOUR TEAM can recall this doctor's name. The doctor that holds your livelihood and dreams in his hands. Yeah. right.

Can anyone confirm that this Dr. Shawhigh is real? I remember the episode and they didn't look 100% sure that that was the doctor's name lol. I'm almost positive someone in the board checked on the state's online medical registry and there was no SHAW HIGH, MD.

Yup, Dirrell is a bitch. I supported him through his pathetic performance vs. Froch. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for his act vs. Abraham. Then he turns around and does this. AND to top it off, he tries to drag Andre Ward down with him. Fucking cowardly lion. Fuck him. He schooled froch and got robbed in england He out classed Abraham in michigan until the unfortunate slip in the corner and abrahams loses his mind He never intended to back out if you seen him recently you can tell there's something goin on in his head , he's stressed and out of it ,an elite fighter wouldn't .just back out of his biggest fight if it were'nt legit reasons

You are trying to "blame" Ward. What did Ward do other than get in the ring and fight whoever they wanted? And whip their ass? Clearly, the venue situation was fluid. Why else would Froch and Abraham have argued over venues? Why wasn't SHO impartial? ANSWER: Because Dirrell was violating the contract and Ward was not.

Do you know anything about the contract that was in place? And what about the reports about Showtime only siding with Ward? Doesn't that seem unfair? Ward has already fought in his hometown twice. Yet Showtime didn't compel him to fight Dirrell in Flint. Why wasn't Showtime impartial? What other concessions did Dirrell have to make as well? You're commenting on a situation you know nothing about. You are trying to "blame" Ward. What did Ward do other than get in the ring and fight whoever they wanted? And whip their ass?

I doubt he's lying but if you watch andre dirrell you would know he's not his same self, he looked depressed,and just out of it ,maybe all the lack of sleep and stuff. He just looking like a worn man. He'll be back soon as he gets well

I got a chance to finally watch the latest Fight Camp 360 (the power was down in my village after a pig chewed the lines). Mabuhay. Andre Dirrell and his team are a bunch of liars. They never had any intent to fight Andre Ward. None. We know there was never really a set date or venue. But to hear Team Dirrell making all these excuses ("we are prizefighters, not pridefighters", "the money isn't right", etc) really became transparent. What's more, Andre couldn't even look into the camera in good conscience. So now, they are claiming that the doctor requires Dirrell to be symptom-free for three months. OK, Fine. But the symptoms are sleeplessness and dizziness. Symptoms that Andre can claim without anyone refuting them. Andre couldn't even recall the doctor's name that he is seeing supposedly on a regular basis. Interviewer: "when was the last time you experienced these symptoms?" Dirrell: "um, uh, like, 3 days ago" GTFOH Do you know anything about the contract that was in place? And what about the reports about Showtime only siding with Ward? Doesn't that seem unfair? Ward has already fought in his hometown twice. Yet Showtime didn't compel him to fight Dirrell in Flint. Why wasn't Showtime impartial? What other concessions did Dirrell have to make as well?

Can anyone confirm that this Dr. Shawhigh is real? I remember the episode and they didn't look 100% sure that that was the doctor's name lol. it was simultaneously comical and sad to see andre dirrell trying to remember/fabricate the doctor's name.

You mean you didn't buy the diagnosis from Dr. Shaw High ? lol is that even a real name?

Dirrell beat Carl Froch. Beat Arthur Abraham. And would beat Andre Ward. If he could face two hard punchers, he wouldn't be 'scared' of stepping in the ring with hug-a-bear Andre Ward. I doubt any of you are world class professional boxers and I doubt any of you have received a flush punch on the jaw from the King Arthur Abraham, so you should all shut the fuck up if you can relate to his situation. Dirrell is the truth. Pity he doesn't tell it.

If Dirrell is faking, it sure seems like career suicide to me. Who would give him a fight after those doctor's reports? No one who would make him a lot of money. nah... he is in the same situation as many young fighters. he can pack the house in his hometown/region.

It probably wont end up hurting his career because 168 is such a juiced division that hel have plenty of fights in the future other than Ward. Oh and Dirrel will never end up faceing Ward ever imo. Unless SOG throws dirrell under the bus and they become enemies. If Ward ever says that dirrell was scared, it's on.

But to be fair to Dirrell, he's still very young and after fighting two really tough competitors you've got to understand his mind state, as a boxer. But wasn't that the EXACT POINT of the S6 Tourney? So that every fight is a tough, meaningful matchup? Also suspect , as Goossen pointed out, is Kessler having double vision....but driving. How do you walk out of a press conference where you say that you can't see and then get behind the wheel of a high-performance Audi?

Dirrell LIED to get a win over AA and, at the same time, not face Ward. AA KOed him. Period.

Dirrell beat Carl Froch. Beat Arthur Abraham. And would beat Andre Ward. If he could face two hard punchers, he wouldn't be 'scared' of stepping in the ring with hug-a-bear Andre Ward.

Maybe he just didn't want to fight his friend because mentally he wouldn't have been in the fight, I ain't seen him punk out for anyone else so why all the disrespect?

You mean you didn't buy the diagnosis from Dr. Shaw High ? lol
