So Dirrell is back in March...

[skel1983]

According to Twitter he is back in March, fuck me I wanna meet this Dr Shaw Hi!!!!

The guy works miracles, so he has gone from a possible career ending brain injury to returning less than six months after the diagnosis.

Hahaha the guy is a joke!!!

[MMASUX]

Wasnt he just saying in that interview last month that he needed 90 days symptom free before they would consider releasing him?? That sure was a fast 90 days. March is the target date for Bute's first fight on showtime, maybe we see Bute-Dirrell.

Hey come on now what else would you expect when Dr Shaw Hi is the man in charge!!

3 months symptom free were their exact words on the FC 360 Episode 8 so no way does that mean he should be ready now. Somethin absolutely stinks with this guy. If they already penned in a date for March then Dirrell has fast turned in to a complete pussy in my mind. I think i'm close to officially deciding that Dirrell was going to get totally waxed by Abraham inside the last couple of rounds and he completely wet out and acted the shit out of it.

If you see the replay of when AA hit him as he was on the ground there was a SERIOUS delayed reaction to the punch.

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.

I just think style-wise the matchup vs Ward is all wrong for Dirrell

That whole wanting to having his lawyer present during the 360 interview did it for me. That was just embarrassing...

He might think he's coming back. As his promoter said in 360, licensing is going to be a very big and expensive ordeal now.

They will require lots of tests to show he's clear of neurological problems.

His post fight brain scan didn't even show up the slightest of concussions....unsurprisingly so i think he's probably clear.

Granted i don't have same neurological contacts as Taeth so take that with a pinch of salt.

If we knew what money the super six competitors were on we'd probably get the reason why Dirrell-Ward didn't happen at this stage.

Dirrell is probably on peanuts compared to the others and he certainly hasn't enhanced his worth during this tournament.

You are right on the money there.

Dirrell is bottom of the barrel for me, held off the bottom only by Margarito.

Some dude on youtube posted his version explaining that Dirrell did a sell job



And they explain it all well and good, but I would say not only look at the voluntary movements of Dirrell but those movements paired with the delayed reaction...and so you can see the delayed reaction at real speed, here's the last round of the fight

Watch the eleventh round, he was winning that round, and he looked fine there is no proof that he was gassing or that Abraham was even close to stopping him.

I'm not sure if you've ever taken a hard shot you weren't expect, but in the time it took him to fall to the ground, you would still be shaking the cob webs out of your head, especially against a puncher like Abraham. There is no way you would get hit like that, and in that amount of time would be able to concote that kind of elaborate plan in less than a second of after taking a flush shot you aren't expecting like that.
