So in 24 hours Dirrell has gone from maybe not being able to fight again to now..

Very disappointing. To be honest this kind of thing was the only way they were going to get out of fighting each other. I remember in the first Fight Camp episode the Showtime dude (forget what his name is) said they had all signed legally binding contracts and if they dropped out of the tournament their careers could be over because of the legal ramifications that would bring. It seemed the only way to get out of the tourney was to semi-retire a la Taylor or suffer some serious form of injury i.e Kessler's eyes and now Dirrell's brain. I'm not saying there isn't something wrong with him, but it looks very suspicious that this has only come out now when there's been months of posturing and bitching about fight venues etc. and a "serious" injury was the only way to prevent this fight happening without suffering a backlash from Showtime and allow them to keep fighting in the future.

Suffolk County Personal Injury Lawyers: Head Injuries


Head injuries can be deceiving. What seems like a minor injury can lie dormant for days, weeks or months and then suddenly become serious. What starts out as a headache can turn into convulsions or seizures, with vomiting or nausea, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in joints or extremities, loss of coordination or motor control, or an inability to wake.

I like the way Dirrells head injury suddenly became "live" when Showtime were telling him and his " boy " Ward this fight needs to happen a whole seven months then booom shit we better pull out. It's a crock of shit, like the title of the thread 24 hours earlier his career is in danger, now his trainer comes out to not worry all his fans ( what fans? ) he will be fine he just needs time out. Fuck right off with that, Dirrell knows he is fucked in this, fighting Ward in his hometown with a win only good enough or he is out.

He has done what he came to do made himself a name every boxing fan knows Dirrell now, hey I wouldn't be surprised if Wards/Dirrells promoters got together and said this fight will be worth so much more down the line maybe on HBO, it is pointless to make this fight now Ward is already through Dirrell is on the verge of going out, how anyone can buy this shite is unreal.

The guy will be back in the ring as soon as he possibly can with the legal element of this super six lets him be.

LOL @ quoting a personal injury lawyer as a source. That was meant as a joke, right?

Taeth would be an expert on this, I mean he frequents the same magical gym as the expert neurologist.

Speaking of which, tax season is just a few weeks away, I might need 1 of those experts to help me out. I'm pretty sure a few frequents this magical gym.

Skel's right. They probably think of each other as the best fighters left in the tournament. Why would either of them want to spoil their momentum right now. Honestly this is very curious.

Guys, I heard Dirrell just hired some personal reputation attorneys to handle any possible slander online as a result of this decision, so be careful where you tread.

All claims are said to be dealt with by the law office of attorneys Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe.
