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

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

Nothing specific really, he was saying all the safe stuff, making excuses for why he didnt tell anybody of his symptoms earlier, making excuses for why he didnt know the doctors name etc etc. But the biggest things that tipped me off was
1. His overall attitude is like nothing happened and hes already making plans for his return.

Just 2 weeks ago Gary Shaw and Showtime were acting like Dirrell may never fight again. And now 2 weeks later hes back in the gym and planning a come back???? WTF.

There were many reasons Dirrell didnt want to fight Ward, I dont believe physically unable to is one of them.

And i legit like Dirrel a lot as a person and as a boxer. Just calling it like i see it. I just think he was thinking he would find a way to not end up fighting ward when he entered the super 6. Young fighter made a mistake, were all entitled to a couple. It probably wont end up hurting his career because 168 is such a juiced division that hel have plenty of fights in the future other than Ward. Oh and Dirrel will never end up faceing Ward ever imo.

You mean you didn't buy the diagnosis from Dr. Shaw High ? lol

If Dirrell is faking, it sure seems like career suicide to me.


Who would give him a fight after those doctor's reports?


No one who would make him a lot of money.

Maybe he just didn't want to fight his friend because mentally he wouldn't have been in the fight, I ain't seen him punk out for anyone else so why all the disrespect?

[SUPREME.]

Dirrell beat Carl Froch.

Beat Arthur Abraham.

And would beat Andre Ward.
If he could face two hard punchers, he wouldn't be 'scared' of stepping in the ring with hug-a-bear Andre Ward. I doubt any of you are world class professional boxers and I doubt any of you have received a flush punch on the jaw from the King Arthur Abraham, so you should all shut the fuck up if you can relate to his situation.

Dirrell is the truth.

Dirrell LIED to get a win over AA and, at the same time, not face Ward.

AA KOed him. Period.

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.

But wasn't that the EXACT POINT of the S6 Tourney? So that every fight is a tough, meaningful matchup?

Also suspect , as Goossen pointed out, is Kessler having double vision....but driving.

How do you walk out of a press conference where you say that you can't see and then get behind the wheel of a high-performance Audi?

Unless SOG throws dirrell under the bus and they become enemies.

If Ward ever says that dirrell was scared, it's on.

nah... he is in the same situation as many young fighters. he can pack the house in his hometown/region.
