The arm punch that leaves you in the southpaw stance

No, you don't know what a concussion is. There are different types and based on what he showed in the ring, he would be diagnosed with a severe one. It was hard enough to make him display convulsions... or in your opinion, fuck up his nervous system. Which both would reqire him to be examined/

And notice how you avoided answering the question. You know that your wrong about him not acting. That's why you avoided it.

Revealed... **successfully defended interim silver title.

im not getting your arguement, your completely ignoring the facts i've provided

simon brown, who got hit with a bomb(not as bad as dirrells) went down, had a seizure, and had negative results in his MRI scan

a concussion is by definition the loss of consciousness due to a blow to the head(so if you are ko'd, you automaticly have a concussion)
you do not scan for a concussion, you scan for brain damage
if you have some brain bruising etc, doctors will tell you you have a concussion
if you dont have any damage(which happens alot) doctors will tell you no concussion

most people that actally suffer a "concussion"(brain damage) are never knocked out
take shane mosley for example, he had a concussion against vernon forrest, but was up on his feet(most fo the time)

am i kind of getting through to you? or are you still not getting it?
i know it's confusing, but blame the doctors who decided to **** with the meaning of the word

Matrix is talking about him not having a concusion even though he was put down. Using Hatton as an example of a guy having no concussion even though he looked dead.

So, Dirrell was either acting or he was seriously hurt at which he would need medical examination and would be diagnosed with something. He was diagnosed with nothing and (info from an earlier thread) left the hospital in an hour.


Concusions result in licenses being suspeneded for a certain amount of days. If Dirrell wasn't even medically suspended, then you know he was acting.

first off dirrell was in the hospital 3 hours, secondly he is not allowed to box for 90 days, think that includes sparring and training too hard

which explains him pretty much being on twitter all day for teh past couple of days

Guys get concussions probably every fight, and as far as I know not suspended. Ive been koed before and had no clue where I was for 20 minutes, and as far as I know had no concussio or even a head ache.

To much is being played into the convulsions. Those truthfully dont look like what normal convulsions look like. I doubt he was actually convulsing.

Then you had a severe concussion. That is what a concussion is. There are 3 grades of concussions and 3 types of concussions. You had a severe one, loss of conciousness and amnesia.

That's what he looked like. Even if it was him trying to get up but his nervous system was still jacked up, that is still severe enough to warrant some type of holding in the hospital or a suspension of some sort.

I think he was playing it up but AA was deservingly dq'd. But we can agree to disagree on the "acting" part.

Concussion

November, 2005

A concussion is an injury to the brain that results in temporary loss of normal brain function. It is usually caused by a blow to the head. Cuts or bruises may be present on the head or face, but in many cases there are no signs of trauma. Many people assume that concussions involve a loss of consciousness, but that is not true. In most cases, a person with a concussion never loses consciousness.

Concussions and Head Injuries

An abrupt blow to the head, or even a rapid deceleration, can cause the brain to bounce against the inner wall of the skull. There is a potential for tearing of blood vessels, pulling of nerve fibers and bruising of the brain substance.
Sometimes the blow can result in microscopic damage to the brain cells without obvious structural damage visible on a CT scan.

Aight then, that's all i needed to know. Then something was wrong with him.

You kept avoiding the questions and ****.

so, from the quotes i just posted, it is possible that doctors could have at first missed the tiny little damage in dirrells brain, therefore ruling him concussed, but even if he was diagnosed with no brain damage, it doesn't mean he wasn't sparked out

Never mind his brain,its his balls and his heart the docs should have been checking.
