Abraham - Dirrell fight thread

[CFH]

I agree with your points about confusion. I just cant EVER think of a situation where an athlete had energy like Dirrell did after a serious head injury.

I agree with you 100% CFH about people responding differently to head injuries. However it is my opinion that it was not a coincidence that Dirrell's beaviour was out of the norm. I believe the reason his behaviour was out of the norm was that he simply didn't wan any more of AA.

I disagree. He was beating Abraham handily and while Abraham was picking it up, Dirrell had already shown that he could take his best shots and keep coming.

As an anecdotal story about head injuries and energy etc., when I was about 10-12 I was playing baseball with some friends and slid head first into the cinderblock we were using for home plate because I misjudged the distance (ghetto, I know). I got up and felt fine aside from a mild headache and was full of energy for the rest of the game. As I was walking home about 10-15 minutes later, I basically collapsed from sudden nauseating head pain and dizziness and had to crawl home, which luckily was not far away. I called my mom and she rushed home and took me to a clinic where i was diagnosed with an amnesia-concussion (or something like that) because I could not remember anything after I hit my head until I collapsed on the way home. So the reactions to such injuries are not uniform and can be quite unpredictable in my experience at least.
