    Default What is happening with Andre Dirrell? What's wrong with him?

    Why did he lower his profile and why is he sidelined?
    His last fight happened seven months ago and he is still not scheduled to fight anyone.
    No words come his way or from him either.
    No interviews or talks about anything.
    Has he lost his desire to fight?
    Or is it an injury?

    Both I reckon. He was never the same after the Abraham loss, it's a shame because he has potential. But even if he doesn't come back I wouldn't be too bothered unless he tries to engage more in fights.

    He beat Abraham. I thought he was very good in that fight upto Arthur hitting him whilst he was down. I'm still not sure whether he played on it or not though.

    He just signed with TMT. So if nno one else, 50 talked to him, and Dirrell had to say he will continue to fight. What happen to his brother Anthony? He was ranked #1 or #2 at some point in line for a title against Ward I believe then disappeared.

    The dirrels are cowards IMO and won't fight for a title unless it isn't ward!!!!
    And Abraham despite losing was game all the way and was fucking Andre dirrell up late on and he knew it

    Anthony was in a motorcycle accident a few months ago, he won't be back in the ring until next year.

    Was it Anthony Dirrell that robbed a bank a couple of years back?

    He got arrested but wasn't charged, they said it was mistaken identity or something.

    he suffered neurological damage after the illegal punch thrown by arthur abraham during their super 6 bout. the damage forced him too withdraw from the tournament. and essentially take a hiatus from the sport.

    i suspect he's lost his fighter's passion since he's only fought once since the abraham bout. the fight was against journeyman darryl cunningham. dirrell easily disposed of him in two rounds, but hasn't been seen in the ring since.

    my guess is that he's lost the taste for the fight game after being brutally KO'd by abraham. if you saw the fight you know direll was fucked up after the fight, he had no idea what happened to him and was crying and deeply traumatized. paired with the neurological damage he suffered, it may have helped him to realize there are more important things to him than the sport of boxing.

    i've recently read that he'll be promoted by 50 and mayweather's new promotional company... so he may be making a return to the ring.

    That's what I thought.
