How do all those who said Dirrell was faking feel?

What's a little shady is now Dirrell is out and another one of Haymon's fighters is in (Bika).

Only time will tell what the truth is about this situation. One thing for certain is that Showtime will find out and sue the crap out of Dirrell if he isn't telling the truth about his injury, not to mention the sanctioning bodies who would sanction him. Also, it wouldn't make sense if he isn't telling the truth to remain out of boxing for a long time because he would be foregoing his prime money-making years in the sport for a lie. So, if he is out for an extended period, two-three years, or he retires, I think we can agree that he was telling the truth. If he is miraculously healed in three months, then there is something off.

Did anyone see what Froch wrote in his Nottingham post article?

Froch Won't Speculate, But Hints Doubt on Dirrell's Story - Boxing News

Interesting quote he uses from Gary Shaw after the Abraham-Dirrell fight. Shaw said "He hasn't sustained concussion and his brain scans are clear".

I just think these two didn't want to fight and the only way they could avoid it without Showtime taking legal action was for one to get "seriously" injured. If there isn't anything wrong then Dirrell will pass any scans and tests that he'll be subjected too easily before he's allowed to box again, so there's unlikely to be a problem. I find it hard to believe that this suddenly crops up after they spent months arguing over the venue etc. Wouldn't it have been easier to cancel it from the original date rather than announcing the fight knowing all along he wouldn't be able to go through with it?

I think its safe to say if he's back in 3-4 months there wasn't anything wrong with him in the first place. Of course if there is some serious injury then I hope he does recover because no one likes to see a fighter suffer serious injuries in the ring, although I really doubt that this is that bad

Its all a bullshit way to circumvent being sued for backing out of the tourney because he doesn't want to face Ward at this point in his career...
