Thread: Dirrell withdraws from Ward fight, might be out of Super 6

According to Steve Kim on his twitter

"Andre Dirrell has withdrawn from the Super 6 with an 'injury' according to Ken Hershman. Ward will fight on Nov 27th vs TBA"

Injury??

Or can he not face fighting his best mate, what a fucking joke this, should of just been stright knockout this event.

I think Saddo's prediction of Robin Reid winning this might come true.

that's why a better idea for a tournament should be something like an eight man, single elimination tournament. something like college basketball's "elite eight". that would be better. you'd get the top eight fighters from any given division and draw names on whom fights whom instead of ranking the fighters from 1 through 8.

This is a real shame for Showtime. They were very brave in trying to bring something good and new to boxing, and we did have some great fights.

I guess they will learn from this though and next time not bother with a pointless 3 fight round 1 which goes on for two years and eliminates only 2 fighters.

8 fighters knockout would have been more sustainable.

But don't be too quick to knock it, at least they took a chance and tried to create something exciting.

And it did bring some clarity to the division. We know that Andre Ward is a force now. Maybe Abraham and Froch can fight each other and Ward fights Bute, with the winners facing off? That would be a great conclusion.

Have to ask....did Direll complain of chest pains prior

Should have been single elimination from jump. No points bs for ko,dec...you lose your done. Quick,concise.....oh and one huge thing obviously missing going into this......thought out! You ever see those Christmas trees that were nice but they went and threw a bunch of gawdy,tacky shit on it..this is it.
