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

[amat]

They're friends but Dirrell fought Berto in the amateurs multiple times and those two are much closer friends. I don't know, different in the pros obviously but I don't think you let friendship come between you at this level and I doubt that's the case.

Apparently he's been having some neurological problems since the Abraham fight. Could end his career. Which is sad if it's true.

Its bullshiit. The artical doesnt say his career is over, it says the doctor wont be happy until he sees 3 months of clear no symptoms from Dirrell. Doesnt that tie in well with having the others fight and then coming back in to it?

I think a proper round robin or league would be a good idea. Get, say, at least 4 of the top in the weight and have them fight each other every 3 or 4 months and get the fights on the same night and show, run it over a year. It would be massive, plenty of recovery time and deffinitly get to see the top in the division.

Dirrel has ruined the super 6

first his performance against froch

then his girl behaviour against AA

now this

he should have his licence revoked

this competition was suppose to revolutionise boxing and dirrell completely balls it up

[killersheep]

So this means Green is in the Semi-Finals! Hell yeah!

I give Showtime credit for trying, and we did get some memorable fights out of it. (Be it for the right or wrong reasons).

Looking forward a simple 4 man tournament would have been the way to go, 2 rounds and done. An 8 man tourney would take too long as well IMO a tourney like this should be no longer than a year long for christ's sakes.

How would it? 8 man knock out event would be 7 fights, we would just of been waiting for the final coming round now instead we are still waiting for the third stage of the super 6 then the semis and the final.

Johnson/Green has been signed for November the 6th so Green is not threw to the semi-final. Showtime are saying Ward might fight someone outside the Super Six on the 26th November and then it will be basically a shoot out between Green and Johnson to make the semi's.

8 men would be 3 rounds, which as you said we are still waiting on the third round now. The first fights happened almost exactly a year ago already. My opinion is that a tournament should not take longer than a year. The winner gets an entry into the next tourney.................

exactly eric mate, the bloke in a whole has done himself not a single favour all tournament.

My only memories of andre dirrell are him flumoxed on the canvas against froch all evening and pretending like a bitch that he was more hurt than he actually was against abraham

We are talking about a 8 man knock event, well that is the general consensus on here meaning.

Round one four fight quater finals.
Round two two fight semi finals
Round three the final.

Meaing this event we would be waiting for the winner in the next few weeks, that would of been ideal.

starting with 6 would be alright then the best loser would have another chance in the semis

funnily enough the semis would have been ward froch abraham and dirrell

although dirrell should really be band from boxing
