Dirrell is a punk, sounds to me like he didn't want any part of Ward to be honest.
In my opinion, it sounded like his team thought it would be the wrong career move to fight Ward after coming off of a loss against Froch and a somewhat suspect win over Abraham. A loss against Ward would mean three bad outings. They probably decided they would rather sit out for a year than risk that. Coming back in March is a little ridiculous.
