Why didn’t Dirrell have tears when he was crying?
Why didn’t Dirrell have tears when he was crying?

I don’t know if I was the only that noticed this or not, but when Andre Dirrell was crying after his 11th round disqualification victory over Arthur Abraham last Saturday night in their Super Six tournament fight in Detroit, Michigan. Dirrell had been easily winning most of the fight when he seemed to fade in the 10th round. In the 11th, Dirrell was running for his life from Abraham when he slipped on the canvas. Abraham, not one to waste a good opportunity, loaded up plastered the side of Dirrell’s head with a nice uppercut.
Dirrell had time enough to look at Abraham, grab his face, wince and then keel over on his side, looking like he was out cold for a brief moment. The fight was stopped at that point as the referee Lawrence Cole disqualified Abraham for the foul. I think it was a good call. I have no problem with that, but I was kind of confused about the crying that Dirrell did after he was revived by the ringside doctor.
Normally when a person cries, they have tears rolling down their face, but for some reason Dirrell had no tears whatsoever. I didn’t know what to think about it. I thought he was really hurt up until I noticed that there was no tears falling down his face, yet he was crying off and on for at least a minute. I’m not an expert crying, but as far as I can tell, a person usually produces tears when they cry.
I didn’t see any tears coming from Dirrell’s face. My question is why weren’t any tears falling down Dirrell’s face? That’s really weird. Was Dirrell really crying or just whining? If Dirrell was just whining, then I can understand the absence of tears. Whining can have tears or no tears. Whining is when a person complains in a tearful way, but it doesn’t need to have tears present.
Dirrell was clearly complaining after the fight, and looking really confused about what had happened. I don’t know whether that was because he was feeling the effects of the knockout or something else. If Dirrell was faking, then he might have not known how to act. I don’t whether Dirrell was hurt or not. All I do know is that I didn’t see any tears falling down his face when he was seemingly crying.
That was what struck me as kind of strange. When I see persons crying and no tears coming out, I tend to think they’re acting. When a person is genuinely upset, like in the loss of a loved one, it’s not something you can control. So for Dirrell to be crying and nothing coming down his face in the way of tears, I’m left wondering why that was.
Perhaps it was just a case of Dirrell just whining and not crying. It’s really hard to tell. Not too many people have said anything about Dirrell crying, so maybe it’s not a big deal with anyone. It just seemed a little strange to me that there weren’t any tears.
Abraham said after the fight that Dirrell was “a good actor.” I don’t know. If Dirrell was acting, I wouldn’t call it good acting, because a good actor would have been able to produce tears and I saw none from Dirrell last Saturday night. I don’t know if Dirrell was really hurt or not, but I guess I have to believe he was because no one in their right mind would go trough all the trouble to fake being knocked out.
