Dirrell Refuses to Admit Defeat

[Weebler I]

Then explain why he took so much time off after the injury

He was slated to fight Ward which he wanted no part of.

Presumably then he couldn't fight again until the Super 6 had finished or is it just a coincidence he fought again 13 days after the tournament ended in the very same month?

Conveniently forgotten is what happened next. SI.com reported on March 28, 2010, that Dirrell was treated and released from the hospital with the whole matter taking about three hours. BoxingScene.com informed us that Dirrell had several tests to rule out a possible concussion. Andres brain scans were fine and some sort of urine test was performed. Finally, on September 24, 2010, Dan Rafael wrote a piece for ESPN that provided, in relevant part, that [t]alk had swirled that Ward and Dirrell, who are good friends, did not want to fight each other[.] If anyone knows about boxing talk, it is Rafael.

When a fight is as close as this one was, on two of the judges scorecards & nearly every respectable boxing guys unofficial scorecard, I can't hate on a guy standing firm in his believe he won the fight. I mean it is what it is, the judges said DeGale won, so DeGale won, but I can understand the guy on the bad side of a close fight still feeling like they shoulda got the nod in this fight or any other one.

Dirrell is what he is: a decent super middleweight contender who has pretty much lost each time he's stepped up. If he thinks he won the fight he needs to go back and have his brain checked again.

the knockdowns seemed to make the difference, but my respect for Dirrell went up. i didn't score the fight, but besides the knockdowns he did fairly well. And DeGale took too many rounds off in a row. Usually you might see a guy take a round off and come back stronger, but DeGale fought like a 6 round fight and came back for 11 and 12.

What I can say is, Dirrell is recognized as a "slick boxer" (altho I think that has more to do with skin tone, a jab, and some movement on this website)...he continued to make fundamental mistakes and got hit because of it. He needs to keep his chin tucked and his right hand up....if Brandon Rios can do it, so can you.

***** crys on the floor and pretends he dont remeber getting knocked out, weak ass representing a weak ass race.

Dirrell only had two fights before 2014. In about 3 years he fought twice, he wasn't that active until 2014 when he started to fight more frequent

[Dr Rumack]

It was a close fight. Not a lot landed on either side. Normal for him to think he won it.

Wasn't that to do with his contractual situation? From memory he sued Haymon and then landed himself with 50 Cent.

So is he admitting he lost to Froch?

I thought he beat Froch but he clearly lost to DeGale.

He wasn't really winning rounds, DeGale was coasting and giving them up.

I hope Direll comes back though, always been a fan of his skill and he finally showed some mental fortitude after getting dropped like a sack of **** in the 2nd round.

I knew Dirrell would find a way to lose. I don't think he has a winner's mentality and I look forward to not watching his next fight.
