ANDRE DIRRELL has been lying his a$$ off...

[Gino Ros]

and you lot obviously didn't listen into his latest radio interview on "On The Ropes"

he said they were asking question for a good 30-40 minutes and just about repeating their questions, that's the reason why they were all already alittle irritated with dirrells uncle wanting a lawyer present and you heard the cousin/coach mentioning that they had already asked him every question there was too ask

the editing showtime did made it look worse that it was, they just cut straight to the end of the interview

I respect that editing can make anything or anyone look bad.

...and i didn't really focus on when they declined to answer without an attorney. That was just effin' weird. And quite suspect.

[crillz]

my dude crillz. how are you?

styles make fights. dirrell has handspeed, footspeed, reach and technique advantages over abraham. dirrell could devise a gameplan to beat arthur.

what gameplan would they apply to beat ward?

sog beats andre dirrell at whatever kind of fight that dirrell wants to fight. and team D knows that.

chillin my dude just waiting on my boy to come thru we about to blow it down and get it in on some games. and you? how is everything with you man it been a minute since we last spoke.

honestly I think though that if anyone it would be Dirrell who would beat Ward simply because he is about the only guy who could match him physically, it would be a truly even fight I don't think 1 would have more than the other, Ward has an awesome defense and jab and Dirrell has a very good jab and his offense is very good, I really wouldn't be surprised at all if they fought to a draw because I doubt either one of them would finish the other off.

I doubt Dirrell would lie though to be honest I think that from what I have seen of him, instances where has dug deep he's shown me enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, also it's not like he's saying he's going to retire he's saying he needs time off but his thought's are far from retirement, IMO I just think he needs some time off to heal properly and he will come back strong

when do you think the interview for the 360 show was recorded? the day it aired?

All im saying is the news broke of him withdrawing, i believed him, 1 week and change later fight camp 360 came out, i still believed him. Then 2 weeks later the radio show came out and finally i called bull**** on dirrell. Most people called bs right away, i atleast gave him a chance.

Yeah I've listened to a couple of those, but must have missed the Dirrell episode. What was the big deal?

[TintaBoricua]

I used to like Dirrell and all. I rooted for him during the tournament and even after all the scandals, but when I saw the Dr. ShawHi youtube video...man, that was cringe-worthy.

Dr. Shawhi

I admit that Dirrell looks absolutely horrible in this position and understandably so, but you've gotta' wonder what's gone on behind the scenes in relation to the money. Was Dirrell not given a certain amount of money after his fights or what?

I mean, at this point, if he's suddenly "not happy" with the money (and he's been given what's been stipulated in the contract) then why is he backing out?

If he signed a contract and has been given what he was entitled, then he has no reason to suddenly stop halfway through and demand more. That's just wrong.

Dawson's inactivity, Dirrell's withdrawal from the tournament....... I swear, if Timothy Bradley gets knocked out by Alexander, it'll be end of me.

[Walterson]

Ward would have fought, I reckon Dirrell was scared to lose.

But to be fair to Dirrell, he's still very young and after fighting two really tough competitors you've got to understand his mind state, as a boxer.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Yup, Dirrell is a bitch. I supported him through his pathetic performance vs. Froch. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for his act vs. Abraham.

Then he turns around and does this. AND to top it off, he tries to drag Andre Ward down with him.

Fucking cowardly lion. Fuck him.

I still think this "bitch" will beat Ward when the times comes

[wazaa.]

what is your opinion about his step-out?

Are you still a fan?
