@ Dirrell's credibility as a fighter

[Asterix]

Many neurological issues can recover, depending naturally on the nature and severity.

I'm not suggesting this is happening, but if you were incharge of a fighter who was having headaches/blackouts on a regular basis would you say fight? Perhaps, this is the issue. I'm remember Steve Collins was medically cleared to make a comeback and then retired after getting flatterned by Howard Eastman (he says he blacked out prior to Eastman nailing him) and then suffering headaches prompting him to retire. I don't think anything physical was seen, but it must have been a concern.

Perhaps this is the scenerio - Brain scan might not show anything, they also have a future career to consider. It won't do his reputation any good if Gary Shaw was saying "look, Andre is getting flattened regularly in training, suffering blackouts". So that might be the reason for the vague symptoms and the vague responses. Perhaps the Doctor has not found anything concrete to explain the symptoms and thats why there is no good having a DR certificate.

They could have used any excuse really.... broken hand whatever.

Its all speculation..... Asterix, I'll agree to disagree re the Abraham fight. The guy didn't know where he was.

If Dirrell doesn't fight in 2011 I'll agree with you. If he does, however,...

It looks like Dirrell will be fighting in 2011, even before the summer!

"Me and the Ward fight IS the tournament. It's the main fight everyone wants to see."

Respect to all men who step into the ring etcetera etcetera but I would rather spend three hours looking at the underside of my own scrotum than watch this fight.

No agenda or politics, just think it has 'stinker' written all over it.

If you're ever at a loose end, take a look at mine instead, they're like space hoppers, you actually need one of those fish eye lenses to take em all in, or eyes like a giant squid.

A weirdo like you may well have both.

@ Dirrell's credibility as a fighter x2

Dirrell is a joke.

He quit and conned against Abrahams, in a fight he was winning but getting ground down, he bottled that one....apparently suffering 'convulsions'. What total utter bollox. Someone who suffers convulsions is not seen walking around his dressing room about 10 mins later.

Pulling out of the Super 6 due to 'neuro' problems? Oh really? Ward beats him all day, that or he just didnt want to fight his friend. Pathetic and an insult to the other fighters who put it on the line.

He pissed off the wrong people, Showtime wont touch him and he will be fighting for sh!t purses, which is all he deserves, in all honesty.

He has tried to con the public, not once, but twice and some people are still trying to defend him

Unbelievable!
