How do all those who said Dirrell was faking feel?

[skel1983]

I don't think he play acted, but I do find it strange how 3 months has been alloted. You would think if he had some kind of damage to the brain that retirement would be imminent. Furthermore, why wait until now to make the announcement? Just sounds a bit iffy.

he was play acting without a shaddow of a doubt

its 100% certain

WOw you among others on here are absolute retards. How the hell was that play acting? He had that fight in the bag, and he could have made a million excuses in terms of injuries if he didn't want to fight in the tournament, but this kind of neurological problem could likely get his licence revoked. Why would Dirrell pretend like he thought he lost by KO? When Froch did all that cheap shit to him, we saw Dirrell complain, but we didn't see him give up in the fight, in fact when that stuff happened Dirrell came back harder at Froch. Like when the point was taken away from Andre and he came back to hurt Froch badly. Abraham stunned him when he hit Andre at that one point in round 10, but his foot was behind Andre's which caused him to fall, and in round 11 things were looking fine for Andre. There was NO reason for him act there. It also doesn't go with his personlality at all. He complains, but he doesn't quit. There is no evidence of it in his career or in the amateurs.

I love how you guys who know nothing about brain damage say he's faking. Or anything about how people re-act when concussed. There is a neurologist who trains at my gym and they said without a doubt that he was concussed, and I was thus given examples of people having that delayed reaction. People saying that his personality has changed is another trigger, there have been numerous accounts of people suffering brain damage and having alterations to their personalities.

You no what I love more is the fact you think you know everything about everything when in reality you no fuck all.


Ohhhh well that is it then if the Neurologist who trains at your gym said without a doubt he was concussed from a tv screen we must all bow down to your greater Knowledge, I apologise Sir.

That's 1 thing about the internet bro, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become an expert in a variety of subjects.

We had PED experts on Pac, financial wallstreet experts on the economics of megafights, evolutionary experts on Biology, legal experts on Pac's lawsuit, etc.

Everyone is an expert on every fucking subject these days on the internet.

You no what Bro you are rite, and I am usually quite on the fence expecailly with subjects like this which is all speculation, but I am going with my gut in this one and I just think this is a crock of shit from Dirrell and to convinient, but when we have the likes of Teath who has experts in every field known to man down his local gym, I am quite vocal when I think I am right but Teath jesus the guy thinks he is Mr Boxing.

She was speculating you dumb shit, but she know's way more about the field than any of us do.

I actually do know what I am talking about. I have researched brain injuries a lot, unlike most boxers who don't know anything about what it does to the brain both short and long term. They have a vague idea, but I actually care what happens to my brain.
You guys are just as sure of your assertions as I am of mine, the only difference is that it makes no sense for Dirrell to leave the tournament the way he did, and it goes against him personality like I said before to quit in a fight. Also in this case you have no foot to stand on. Because none of you know anything about this field. The only thing you can do is criticize me saying that I'm right, when you guys are saying the exact same thing the opposite way. A young guy in the prime of his career, having the best night of his life, and heading into a show down that could launch him into stardom just quits? He had a good chance against Ward based on the Abraham fight, and he was the one guy who had the speed and power to really make Ward pay when he would rush in.

Have any of you watched the fight recently? Dirrell got caught by a good punch in the 10th and was in trouble in the 10th, but by the 11th he was fine. He had his legs underneath and everything. Who would quit because of one bad round? Round 11 had just started and he initiated everything in that round until Abraham rushed him in the corner and he went down then Abraham hit him. He didn't need to cry about it, Abraham would have still been disqualified if he didn't want to continue. Roy Jones was still disqualified when he hit Griffin late in a similar situation. It's more unusual to see a guy get truly ko'ed to have a delayed reaction, but it's not impossible. It wasn't from the punch itself, but how he reacted afterwards that made the neurologist think he was geniunely concussed. When have we ever seen somebody concoct a story that they thought they lost after a fight, and "pretend" to be that upset. He could have stayed down and would have won the fight either way. He could have cited any of a hundred reasons for pulling out of the tournament, but like I said using a neurological reason is the most dangerous for his career, there will be a far more extensive examinations before he is allowed to box again. Why go through the headache? What would it prove at this point?

If you believe that Dirrell was knocked out cold, and he has a mood altering brain injury which will clear up as soon as the tournament ends, then you go right ahead. No need to explain yourself.

[boxingbantz]

I feel my picture explains the way I am feeling without me having to go into great detail:

[CFH]

I hate you all for making me agree with Taeth.

[amat]

I hate you all for making me agree with Taeth.

Do you box with a neurologist too?

[CFH]

I hate you all for making me agree with Taeth.

[generalbulldog]

The reason why Dirrell isn't getting the benefit of doubt is because he's done this before as Skel has shown us an example. And this time its just too much of a coincidence that he has neurological problems when he's about to fight his best buddy Andre Ward.

Hence the skepticism.

[skel1983]

Who also remembers Dirrell getting the fight postponed with Abraham oh this injury he had not only did it get the fight cancelled for a few weeks but the fight venue changed from California to yes you guessed it Dirrell's hometown Michigan.

Ulli Wegner, the trainer of undefeated super middleweight Arthur Abraham, is questioning the validity of Andre Dirrell's back injury. They were scheduled to fight in the second stage of Showtime's Super Six tournament on March 6. Dirrell withdrew with a back injury. The fight was postponed to March 27.

Wegner is not happy. He thinks there is no injury and says Dirrell's team is trying to play mind games.

"How can he [Dirrell] already know that he'll be fit a 100 percent come March 27? When someone gets injured he can't already call the date of being healthy again. Camp Dirrell just want to play mind games with us, but this won't give them any advantage. We will continue to keep Arthur staying focused and won't get thrown off track," Wegner told BILD.
