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.

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.

LOL jesus christ Taeth, I sincerely hope that you come across as less of a self important deuche bag with "all these people" you've been telling in real life. Somehow I doubt that. What is the basis for you even bringing this up now? Every time you post it starts with how you've been telling everyone something or other for months. Perhaps people would take you more seriously if you weren't so insufferable? Is there a new update providing conclusive evidence that Direll is in fact brain damaged? It's nobody here's place to genuinely comment on the validity of his injury one way or another really, and to slant people for that reason is quite appropriate imo. But the way you just assume his claims are gospel and anyone who quite reasonably doubts this is a retard is truly quite pathetic.

Abraham is an AWFUL boxer. He should be in MMA. However just because he is an awful boxer doesn't mean he can't be successful but he wil always struggle with young slick, athletic fighters like Dirrell.

[Balboa]

Please allow me to let some of your opinions of me drop.

Here's what I recall and what I think, and may God have mercy on my soul.

Dirrell was winning the fight. Pot shotting Arthur and on his bicycle, he was going to scramble his way to the finish line and a points win. How riveting.

Dirrell, and a whole host of fighters that shall remain nameless for this thread, well they're students of the exciting and enthralling "style" of "run like a girl firing jabs off your back foot and never engage." This has never excited me, never will excite me, but you and I knew that was gonna be his plan. Granted, Arthur is a hard hitter and Andre would be ill-advised to stand and trade with him, but there is so much more to defensive boxing and countering than RUNNING AWAY. The first time I watched Andre i disliked him. Not his talk, but his reliance on footspeed and his "strategy" of sprinting post to post, screaming in fear and flicking jabs out behind him like flares and countermeasures. Aye, there's a tad bit of embellishing there, but it makes me insane with rage when fighters won't fight. Relying on natural athletic ability to avoid shots and counter is one thing (ala Jones Jr, Shane, Ike, SweetPea..) but keeping ten yards and a cattle prod between you and danger at all times is not anything Im ever going to want to watch.

Now Arthur was clearly on his way to losing a decision when WHOOP oh hey here he is. Typical Arthur fashion, he waits til the last two minutes of the fourth quarter to turn it on. It's his MO. And it's working. He has started to rattle Andre and now he's hurt him. Heeeeere's the Abraham I came to see, ok sweetness old buddy old chap old chum, now you got 6 minutes to knock this colossal bore out.

Let me interrupt myself to explain that last remark. Alot of you like "boxers." My idea of a boxer and yours are probably different. Floyd Mayweather, throughout 95% of his career, is the very picture of boxing perfection. Dirrel to me, is not. He, and some of you, may THINK he is, because he hops in, pot shots and runs away. Dirrell runs ALOT. If Dirrell could figure out how to fight without being IN the ring, I think he would. He thinks he's the next incarnation of Jones or something, but forgetting that Roy would actually fire back meaningful shots and knock your ass out. Hey Andre, you ain't even close.These kinds of "boxers" make me crazy. Maybe they know their limitations, maybe they think its what the fans want, but I hate any unwillingness to exchange in a fight.

No , you can't stand and trade every second of every round if youre a guy like Dirrell, but cmon, damn. I won't hijack my own post to name all of the fighters that bore my tits off running around in circles, racking up points on flick-jabs, and spinning and pirouetting and deciding they want to be known as "boxers."


Anyhoo, I think late in the fight (too late perhaps) Andre began to believe what I was already aware of. That Arthur was coming on late, as is his style, and was going to inflict some serious damage over the last 6 minutes, if not completely knock him the hell out. Arthur screwed up badly with the shot to Dirrell as he was down, and Andre seized it. I saw it, you saw it, we all saw it. That look, that nanosecond before the seizures took hold, said it all. It said 'hey, here's my out. I don't have to fight anymore and this one is in the bag, pardon me while i jitterbug my way the hell away from this man KNOWN for knocking folks stupid with seconds left on the clock.'

I don't think Andre had what it took to stay away the last 2. I think he was in a world of trouble. And truth be told, though it won't endear me to any of you, Im glad he may be out of the sport. I don't think the sport needs boring hybrid fighters who refuse to engage, but simply rely on quick feet and rat-a-tat point-making styles before hopping on their jetpacks and disengaging. It's a fine line, yes, but you take the fighters whose names are popping into your head to refute my example; the Mosleys, the Mayweathers, the Whitakers, the de la Hoyas, and yes, technically these guys could hit and quit and pop and run and DID at various moments in any fight. BUT they all had the ability and the nerve to ALSO stand and fight for God's sake.

I'd rather watch touch football than a Dirrell "fight".

Ramble over, bring on the carnage.
