Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell on Leaving Haymon, Joining TMT Promotions

[2501]

I was wondering the same but why did he "leave" Haymon? Haymon is not a promoter...

Fighters don't HAVE to have an advisor. TMT can also do the advising as well as the promotion.

Talking is cheap Dirrell...

“That would be a beautiful fight to take place.
I would love to take that fight because there is there is no way that he could beat me. No way. Believe me,
I want this fight just as bad as he does, and I hope that the public isn’t taking this as he’s calling me out,”
► said Dirrell.
“It’s just that I’m the next in line because of the rankings, and I would get a chance to get back at Carl Froch.
We’re in negotiations now, and if this fight is made under the right circumstances, then I’m all for it.”

Switch-hitting contender Andre Dirrell "will stop" southpaw knockout artist Adonis "Superman" Stevenson if they meet in an IBF super middleweight eliminator on Aug. 11, Dirrell's uncle and trainer, Leon Lawson Jr., said on Tuesday.

"Andre will stop him. You will see a total difference in class," said Lawson of Stevenson

Dirrell's uncle and trainer, Leon Lawson Jr., cited the fact that his nephew would have little time to prepare for Stevenson as his primary reason for not taking the fight.

"It's just two short of notice, that's what it was," said Lawson Jr. "We would love to fight him at any other time for an eliminator or possibly for a belt in the future, depending on if he gets one before we do."

boxingscene:

- His new name is Andre _itch Dirrell, if this is true I sad to say he is from Michigan. All those skills and NO heart!

- Dirrell simply lacks heart.No need in hurling abuse in his direction because what he has is an illness.I pity him more than anything else.

- Anyone that ever actually thought Dirrell was serious about taking the fight is a fool.

- At this point Dirrell is an old joke. And it’s really not that funny anymore.

- Dre done F***ed up now. He better have a good reason for turning that fight down.

- Dirrell just had a chance, that he did not deserve, to become relevant again. He didnt want it. It is now clear that the guy is not a fighter and he should just call it quits.

- Mayweather wasted his money with this guy and is wasting his time.

- There seems to be a common thread with fighters that sign with “Mayweather Promotions”: their careers go nowhere. Mayweather Promotions is the new Don King Promotions.

- Dirrell needs a sports therapist….... Hes losing it

- Haha, as we all knew, there was no reason to take Dirrell serious until the second he stepped into the ring. Otherwise, the guy is just too ****** for his own good. Good luck to Don George, for however long he lasts with Superman

- Of course he’s out. He got rid of Al Haymon and Gary Shaw and is now turning down good fights. This dude is officially irrelevant.

- this has got to be frustrating for stevenson…no one wants to fight him…like dana white says, this is one of the major problems in boxing…what if the red sox just said, “we won’t play the yankees” or the heat said “we won’t play boston”….just pure nonsense that only exists in boxing and shows just how far behind the times this sport, which i love passionately, actually is

- wasted talent

- Dirrell ain’t got no confidence in his ability. He is a way better fighter than Adonis but just like the way he fights, he’s scared.

Boxing News 24:

- Is good actor.

- dirrell the champion? lol in his own lunchtime! he has to prove himself writer before you start hyping up a hitherto unspectacular boxer/career.

- Why am I not surprised?

- dirrel should be a 100 meter sprinter he cant fight scooottty

- Superman is scary, so I understand Chicken Dirrel, who was clearly going to get hurt.

- Chicken, coward, spring to mind!!! Another decent fighter dodged

- DIRREL HAS A GLASS JAW!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


east side boxing:

- Dirrell is slipping to infinity.

- Stevenson is a much better fighter now that he is working with Manny Steward and I suspect Dirrell knows that.The bout with George might be a cracker while it lasts..

- Running from another crack at the Cobra, hes good at running.

- what a shocker

► Conclusion: Dirrell is a coward, a talk to talk...

- Floyd, Floyd, Curtis; what the F did you do, by signing this dude...
- I truly don't want to mess up your business, and I want no trouble or court (legal) issues with you guys, especially with you Curtis...

There’s no fighter out there that will have a chance with Andre Dirrell when it’s time to step in the ring and I promise you that

..........


- Maaann, that's completely ridiculous, because he doesn't have the heart, he still have skills, but no will to win; and this talented tougue knows it...

- You understand what I'm saying Pretty Boy, you too Mr. Jackson. You two have that WILL in common, but not him...

- I am not here to tell you what to do or to make you find someone to babysit this embarrassment, but just tell him to shut his mouth, it doesn't help the business.

- Movie characters could change you Curtis; don't forget your true self...
