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

[SplitSecond]

He was discharged fat and sassy without a concussion? Check.

He's been negotiating to fight for months? Check.

Months later, right after yet another date is finalized for the Ward fight, we hear of a "neurological problem"? Check.



Hey, when Dirrell's back in that prize-ring within 6 months, I'll bump this and you can look in the mirror for a dumbass.

wait, lol, did you not know already that dirrell(a couple of weeks after the fight) went back to get checked up because of frequent headaches was positive of a concussion?

lol

RAGE OF A ***: oh no but the doctors are'nt human, they can't miss anything on that scan

Akrobatic: you should look that up and make sure

Just as I suspected, they are trying to blame Abraham for this:

Lawson said that Dirrell's symptoms of "headaches and dizziness" began shortly after his March fight against Arthur Abraham in Group Stage 2 of the modified round-robin tournament. In that fight, Dirrell was on his way to a lopsided decision when he slipped to the canvas in the 11th round and Abraham nailed him with a flush right hand to the temple while he was down. Dirrell, who never saw the punch coming, was knocked out and declared the winner on a disqualification because of the flagrant foul.

"Andre was saying he was having headaches and dizziness," Lawson said. "My father [Leon Lawson Sr.] and me asked him how long it was going on and he said periodically since after the fight. It was something we suspected. We saw slight changes in his normal being. It alarmed us. We're going to take it serious. He's not only a fighter, he's our family.

"We took him to a doctor and then a neurologist. When we took him to the neurologist, he was alarmed. He said Andre wasn't fit to fight right now. Before he would even consider letting him fight, he would need three months symptom-free. It would get to the point where Andre would have to sit down. He couldn't lay down because [the symptoms] would get worse."

I'll only call bullshit if Dirrell's team claim a miracle and he's back fighting in a few months, otherwise it's terrible news for him.

1,000,000 points he's fighting within 6.

No, I didn't know that he'd returned to the hospital until these latest articles upon his withdrawal. Or, if I did, I'd forgotten it due to the sheer volume of info I have to absorb from this site. Source c. April/May/June?


Why are you inventing fantasy dialogue?


BTW, I'd suspect the combined shots Dirrell took while stood up to be a greater contributor to damage to his brain than the one he took on the floor. While he didn't take that many, they were rattling him.

Well that's on them, he would get torn apart by fans.

The pain in his brain hasn't stopped negotiations for a fight involving him being ongoing for months.


Taylor was discharged from Hospital after being observed for two nights in there. He was disgnosed with a severe concussion.

Dirrell bopped out of the hospital fat and sassy after a couple of hours.


Lou DiBella is not Taylor's "trainer". He's his promoter, a guy who makes money off him and has every reason to keep him active. He didn't tell him to take a chill-pill, he urged him to RE-TIRE. Then he broke ties with Taylor. Get it?





So, what's your line when we see Dirrell in the ring in the near future? Got one prepared?

of course the pain in his brain won't stop negations when show time is sending out LAWSUITS for not fulfilling whats honored in the contracts LOL

again. you are a RANDOM joker on boxingscene coming up with conspiracy theories. the ACTUAL professional docters (who went to school for years for this) are REFUSING to let dirrell train or fight as of now. so now dirrell MADE the doctors do this too?.....how far is this conspiracy stuff gonna go? in your mind dirrell now controls an entire team of grade A docters? what is dirrell the president now?


this stuff is AMAZING.......

[ugly2000]

Here is hoping that this type of tournament never materializes again. An 8 fighter single elimination tourney would of been so much better. Dirrel would of been gone (although controversially), Kessler would be gone and Taylor would of never needed to of been replaced.

are you kiddin? those other shots, he either rolled or pulled back on them, his muscles were tense

when you're not expecting a punch, you're relaxed and from that angle, abraham went through his jaw and came up bringing dirrells head with him to a sort of neck breaker move, and the least you get from getting your head turned like that to your cervical clicking is some sparkling vision, minor headaches and a neck that feels like the bones are grinding on eachother everytime you turn your head

as for the source, i dont even know how i should go about searching for it right now, im pretty sure i posted it here in the forums a couple of weeks after dirrell abraham(lot of controversy and argueing on the subject back then)

Umm, if Dirrell's people make it known that Dirrell is suffering neurological complications, which must have been apparent for some time if he returned to Hospital a couple of weeks after the bout (which was over 6 months ago), Showtime aren't suing anybody.

Who are these doctors and may we hear from them?



Again, what's your line when we see Dirrell in the ring in the near future? Got one prepared?

Expect this "conspiracy theory" to become a popular one in a few months time.

i wonder if you just after watching mcclellan-benn would you run to the forums to post about how much of a coward, ***** and disgrace to boxing mcclellan is for taking a knee and quitting

i bet you would be one of those pricks, and would be eating your words when he fell into a coma and eventually became the mcclellan that he is today

or maybe you still dont believe it, lol, knowing how ****** you can be, it would'nt be suprising
