and you lot obviously didn't listen into his latest radio interview on "On The Ropes"
he said they were asking question for a good 30-40 minutes and just about repeating their questions, that's the reason why they were all already alittle irritated with dirrells uncle wanting a lawyer present and you heard the cousin/coach mentioning that they had already asked him every question there was too ask
the editing showtime did made it look worse that it was, they just cut straight to the end of the interview
Actually i herd that entire interview and i have seen the fight camp 360. Up untill the on the ropes interview i actually believed him, i didnt believe the fight camp 360 spin. But after hearing him make excuse after excuse on the radio show it became obvious he was lying. He is already back in the gym as of a couple weeks ago.......... obviously those "symptoms" magically vanished.
And i legit like Dirrel a lot as a person and as a boxer. Just calling it like i see it. I just think he was thinking he would find a way to not end up fighting ward when he entered the super 6. Young fighter made a mistake, were all entitled to a couple. 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.
when do you think the interview for the 360 show was recorded? the day it aired?
All im saying is the news broke of him withdrawing, i believed him, 1 week and change later fight camp 360 came out, i still believed him. Then 2 weeks later the radio show came out and finally i called bull**** on dirrell. Most people called bs right away, i atleast gave him a chance.
Yeah I've listened to a couple of those, but must have missed the Dirrell episode. What was the big deal?
Nothing specific really, he was saying all the safe stuff, making excuses for why he didnt tell anybody of his symptoms earlier, making excuses for why he didnt know the doctors name etc etc. But the biggest things that tipped me off was
1. His overall attitude is like nothing happened and hes already making plans for his return.
Just 2 weeks ago Gary Shaw and Showtime were acting like Dirrell may never fight again. And now 2 weeks later hes back in the gym and planning a come back???? WTF.
There were many reasons Dirrell didnt want to fight Ward, I dont believe physically unable to is one of them.
:sad6:
Im friends with a dude who owns a Barber Shop in LA.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr went to his shop saturday morning to get a haircut and the barber (whos mexican) said "mexican to mexican, why did you pull out?
JR said the PPV numbers / attendance were expected to be low and he didnt want to fight if he was gonna make X amount of dollars.
FRAUD. :lame:
Thoughts?
Arent you they kid that lives in NJ and does videos on youtube?
How do you have a friend that owns a barber shop in LA.
Listen, Bradley didnt beat Pacquaio not even close period. But regarding this fight i predicted Marquez would win and even im saying Bradley clearly won this fight.
Pascal has wasted enough time already. Scrap the bute bs fight and get a move on.
So sad how his career has been managed, some where along the line there was a major **** up. I dont know if it was gym or jean or jeans people, but his career has been horribly mis managed since the second Hopkins fight, which was a very close fight. This guy has star potential, he got serious game. But nobody remembers because he has been MIA for so damn long. Even though he got injured before the Cloud fight, he had still been gone for way way too long before that.
