Comments Thread For: Super Six Bombshell! Andre Dirrell Has Withdrawn!

Looks like friendship was stronger than the Super 6.
I'm kind of glad for them and their friendship.
They can make money fighting everybody else and yes, the tour just colapsed.

They were never going to fight ... no venue was even secured ... he and Ward probably flipped a coin to see who was going to quit ... what a couple of queens.

exactly, i find it hilarious how they announced a date and no venue.
ward dont wanna leave oakland and nobody would come out to see dirrell fight in michigan.

I continued to defend the Super Six after the loss of Taylor and then Kessler, but this smells like a duck and Showtime should investigate to the fullest. Too much money on the line, and contracts signed, for someone to get away with these kind of shenanigans.

Not saying Dirrell's not injured, but if he is he definitely needs to cough up the proof.

I have no words for this.

[oaklandstephen]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! but atleast i can go to wards next fight.

now dirrell pummels lucian bute and waits for ward after the tourny

[vallejoarmy]

This totally blows and I will never watch another Dirrell fight. Why didn't they just put his brother in the ring instead, they look alike. LOL. O well, I guess I'll be watching the HBO Triple Header that night instead. I was probably gonna watch it anyways.

well its perfectly normal for dirrell to back out, another loss would not help his career. what a *****!

showtime should hire someone to investigate dirrell's "injury" for insurance purposes. then sue him to keep him in the tourney.
there'd still be that lack of venue issue though.

oh well, most of us knew this fight would be boring as fck anyways.

Thank you Andre Dirrell and Andre Ward fo being a couple of cowards and robbing the fans of a great fight.

If you don't want to fight then don't sign the damn contract. But no you used the publicity and took the easy way out.

Thanks guys. This tourny is done. Always sounded too good to be true.

Boxing has really done everything it could do to make me not a fan. I'm losing touch honestly. I still love the sport, but it's not the same.
