Comments Thread For: Dirrell Warns: I'm Hungrier, More Mentally Focused

[LA_2_Vegas]

Guy sounds like he's reading a script... probably courtesy of Haymon. Whatever man. I was there 2 fights back when Nick Brinson was seriously jolting his head back around the ring before himself getting caught by a lucky punch. This guy has no stones. Once DeGale starts boxing his ears off, he will go into a shell and whimper through the fight only to win a gift decision. So yet another boring Haymon fighter gets yet another 'win'.

See I thought I was the only one who noticed that he was getting his head rolled back here and there against Brunson. And he was basically out on his feet in the 12th against Edwards...

That said, I do think he has been a little more focused and settled in his recent fights...as a viewer, I like it..great to see him open up because he can be a force when he does that. But defensively, I can't decide if he is taking the punches because he is more committed to be more offensive and staying within punching range.. or if he has lost some of the reflex that a lot of people expect to see on Sat. I expect DeGAle to look the smoother fighter

Dude has all the skills in the world but he's mentally weak.

He almost had Froch beaten but kept backing off in exchanges and it looked weak to the judges, like he was running scared... Same thing when Abraham started catching him, he looked scared shitless, slipped and then took a massive dive and a WTF performance of acting, crying etc to get the DQ. Then he claimed he had serious neurological damage following the fight, with no supporting evidence whatsoever, but was miraculously okay to resume fighting again after two years. After he claimed lasting brain damage? Seriously?!!

Dirrell beat Froch by 9-3 you twat. Froch was the one getting visibly rocked and was knocked down by a punch in the fight. Protectionism in the UK was the only reason he kept his belt and was able to get away with his WWE tactics.

Why would he take a dive against Abraham when he outboxed him for 11 rounds and shook him up, put him on his ass as well. Abraham caught him when he slipped, that was bs. You claim he has mental weakness but he's beaten both of the fighter's you mentioned. Froch is talking about retirement after beating an overhype domestic figher who he went life and death with, and Abraham aint nothing but a german side show at this point. STFU!

Because he did get dropped legit earlier and then panicked and went into full on run mode. It was all too much for him. Then he didn't want the Ward fight (for the money offered) and boxing fans met Dr Shaw Hi.

Newsflash, Einstein... He lost to Froch and got AA DQ'd by exaggerating an injury, actually crying and then claiming memory loss from what looked like a glancing blow which kind of skimmed his chin.

These were both fights he should have won comfortably. He's mentally weak, that's just part of his character and that's why he's not scaled the same heights as Andre Ward.

And then, there's Doctor Shaw-Hi. Oh yes, who can forget him...

Watch R10 & R11 and make up your own minds.

In R10 (At 1:35) Dirrell gets put down by a legit punch, which is incorrectly ruled a slip/trip.

Then in R11 (at 4:05) He seems to slip trying evade AA (but is actually hit on the jaw and he goes down). He is then struck again whilst he is down (the DQ punch) and then the delay before he lies back, completely unconscious. If you missed the first punch there is an overhead camera shot (at 4:05) that shows AA hitting him on the jaw and Dirrell going down.

NO. IT WAS ABRAHAM WHO GOT HURT AND SAT ON HIS ASS IN THAT FIGHT. It was also noted as the first time he been knocked on his ass in his career. Stop making up bs.

No watch the replay at the end of the round he tripped over his foot. Also you can tell Dirrell wasn't hurt as he continued to land more punches and made Abraham keep his crap guard up.

Also dummy, he did slip, his feet is leaving underneath him as he try to move to his right.

Dirrel kicked his ass for 10 rounds.. but i do remeber him getting hurt and flustered in rounds 10 and 11.. he then clearly took the easy way out imo..

The guy has skills but he sometimes acts pretty cowardly in the ring when it getd tough.. flopping and sucking frochs **** for example multiple times.. and then the "injury" in the aa fight
