Comments Thread For: Dirrell's Trainer: Andre Could Have Been Left a Vegetable

[Dave Rado]

If Dirrell fights in 2011, will you still believe him?

If you read this article about Post-concussion syndrome with anything approaching an open mind you will realise it is not that simple. First half of 2011 would be su****ious but second half, not necessarily at all.

In any case, "believe" is too strong. I just said that unless there is proof that he's lying, which there is not, then it is callous to assume that he is.

[Dave Rado]

Dirrell wasn't unconscious, he was reacting & moving the whole time he was down & got up on his own...

If by reacting and moving you mean the twitching legs, a lot of unconscious boxers have had twitching legs. And the fact he got up on his own after he regained consciousness is irrelevant.

He already fought like a vegetable, so what difference does it make?

Curtis Stevens anyone?

HA!

why should dirrell expose himself to further neurological damage? he should just quit boxing and be done with it. even if the symptoms go away, it only takes one punch to bring them back, and each time it could get worse and worse.

so if you care for dirrell's health at all, you'd call for him to never return to boxing.

he didn't fight like a vegetable, he fought more like a fruit if you ask me.

If the neurological damage is permanent he would not pass the medical and would not be allowed to fight. If it is only temporary, and if he recovers fully before he fights again, then he's no more likely to get further damage than any other boxer.

You people are so gullible. Dirrell is a faker, end of story. If his neurological problems were real he would have been advised to permanently retire. Cause who the hell would grant him a licence to fight with a brain injury right? Pfft, I call BS

Expect a "miraculous" recovery in 2011.

You're just showing up your ignorance. Read this. Post-concussion syndrome is a temporary condition, which can last anything from a few days to over a year, but is almost never permanent.

lol. i love how you keep pushing that position. its true though.
either he admits he's a perpetrating, lying ass btch or he saves himself and GTFO the boxing game.

his team should just STFU. lets see how big of a hole they dig for andre.

U are just as bad as Dirrell's trainer!!! EXAGGERATING ALL THE WAY!!! ¿Maybe U are his trainer? or friend or relative..Anyway, he wasn't twitching or having seizure's or anything..I'm not saying or EVER did say in any of My comments that Dirrell was faking..What I'm saying is that he was NEVER unconscious, like U & his trainer are trying to make it seem..He did take a good shot while he was down & he could have been dazed & Abraham deserved to be disqualified..But after Dirrell left the ring ON HIS OWN WILL & went to the hospital & WAS CHECKED BY DOCTORS & WAS FINE when he left the hospital & now over 6 months later is saying that he's ***ED UP from that 1 shot & NOW CAN'T FIGHT is TOTAL BULL S H I T!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!! & 90% of the people in this thread are saying more or less the same thing, EXCEPT U!!! But to each his own, believe what u want & go & send Dirrell a get well card so him & his crew could laugh at u..

that is not the point, if a single shot like that is enough to do neurological damage then he will always be at risk when he steps into the ring. maybe hes just not built to take a punch.
pullcounters just being facetious. he knows andre and his team are lying. his team is just painting andre into a corner by further embellishing this BS.
i just wonder how far they will take these shenanigans.
