Maybe too scared to fight.... it happens to guys.
Re: Andre Dirrell?? what happened to him???
Dirrell is the perfect example of how boxing is mostly mental. Im irritated when people call him a faker because that punch was something he did not see coming. Abe may have not got full extension on that punch but being that he's a heavy handed guy, dirrell clearly felt tnat one. It was like a sucker punch.
Something clicked inside him and I dont think he wants to get hit again. It's too bad cuz he was probably the most talented guy ive seen since roy jones.. he could have really been something had he had the mental toughness to hold it together.
I think he's mentally scarred.. Ive been hit on the head with a metal pipe that I didnt see coming and its something j never want to feel again so I can definitely relate to dirrell..
One can have the best chin with the toughness and they maY have been hit many times before but one day u get hit with something different and it stays with you.

... he has to be scared. And there are fights out there to be made. Big ones and not so big ones- a fight with him and the new Jr. Welter Andrade and/or Andrade's opponent, Matriyosan, can be made- even if at a catch-weight.

I thought he suffered a brain injury which held him back?
