Comments Thread For: Shaw Says Andre Dirrell's Reason For Withdrawal is Legit

[ИATAS]

So, if he's suffering from a "neurological problem", then Dirrell better not be seen in a ring for some time, if ever, right?

it's very hard to say. In america we are really far behind and only just recently started to pay attention to concussions in football, let alone boxing. I mentioned The Ring magazine doing a piece of this matter not long ago, and one doctor thought boxers should sit out from 6 months to a year at least after suffering a KO.

again it's hard to say and more research and data is needed.

[-EX-]

Damn the fight I was looking most forward to is off...2010 sucks...

Its like everyone in this tourney has had bad luck...Froch gets hurt, Kessler drops out, Jermain Taylor aint JT anymore, Dirrell has neurological problems or sumthin...they should just scrap the damn thing....

****!

I was really looking forward to this fight. Boxing is killing itself with this bull****. These clowns have been trying to back out of this fight for months because they'd rather share a chocolate milkshake while staring lovingly into eachother's eyes than get into ring and give the fans a fight and raise their profiles. Before 'The Fight', Ali and Frazier were good friends, with Joe going so far as to openly lobby for Muhammad's reinstatement and providing him funds to get him through not being able to fight. Then they signed on the dotted line and got it on 3X, that's the name of the game.

Seems like no one wants to fight anymore. Bunch of pu$$y ass primadonnas who don't want to break a nail or get their dresses dirty.

Anyone who buys this mysterious, never-before reported 'neurological' disorder that randomly popped up before they were set to fight and was never discovered before... is a ****ing moron who needs to have random Olympic Style intelligence tests conducted on them.

Watch, as soon as another bull**** opponent is lined up for Ward, the 'neurological' disorder that has no name will magically vanish and Dirrell will fight someone else.

I agree with this entire post.

Can we expect Dirrell to sue Abraham?? hmmm

Neurological Illness.. I can smell sue vs. Abraham. The blow in the head HE gave Dirrell while He was down could of cause that damage, especially after watching video. You can tell that it affected him in that sort of way. He was incoherent for a long time in that fight.
I'm sure Dirrell lawyers are thinking the same thing.

Khan is a ****sexual.

Dirrell has already fought Froch and Abraham, that shows 100x more balls than Amir Khan has displayed in his joke of a career.

You're a ****sexual. A bald, fruity wannabe.


Dirrell spent the Froch fight fudging his trunks. And he took the chance to cop out of the Abraham fight when the heat got too much and he realized what he'd bitten off.


Dirrell is a complete fucking embarrassment.

At least when Khan got laid out twice he had the heart and willing to climb do his feet while discombobulated, throw punches and go out on his shield. That alone shows more courage than anything Dirrell has done in his entire career.

Dirrell pretended to have a seizure in order to get out of fighting. I wouldn't be cold enough to say that if it wasn't blatantly apparent.

Except Dirrell was discharged after an examination found not even a concussion, right?



But, good point - if Dirrell is neurologically damaged as a result of that DQ blow, we should expect to hear of him suing Abraham shortly.



What's the betting Dirrell is back in the prize-ring within 6 months?

[americanbot]

Didn't in Taylors case he was rushed to hospital and was seriously hurt because of the accumulation of punches he took against AA? While Dirrell barely got hit the entire fight, with an exception of that one punch. Dirrell is an embarrassment to this sport.

dirrell was rushed to the hospital too......

both were hit & knocked out. both were hospitalized. these are the FACTS.

as far as what spin & conspiracies you wanna throw on it thats your personal opinions....

[_original_]

man this is horrible news


Not just the fight being off, but I hope Dirrell's health is good for his and his families benefit....and he'll be able to continue his boxing career
