http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2010-03-28-dirrell-abraham_N.htm AA says AD should be disqualified for not taking a steroid doping test right after fight. How classless can this guy be?
hmm I thought standard practice on ESB was that if a fighter refuses a test he is automatically guilty?
Hang on, a fighter from the Phillipines refuses to take unprecedented doping tests and is roundly accused by half of the US of being on PEDs, a fighter from the US refuses to take a mandated post-fight doping test and the guy who wanted it enforced is the one in the wrong? Let's have some consistency, Dirrell puts in a career best performance then refuses to take a test = he must be on 'roids.
Abraham is a typical whiny eurotrash fighter. Team Sauerland has a history with these types, they can't stand it when an American beats them.
Okay ******, lets walk through this one again. Pacquiao refused to take random drug testing before a fight. Dirrell was getting carted away to the hospital for a brain scan and they want to interrupt that for a drug test. BIG ****ing difference.
Coming from someone representing a country that produced Hopkins, Toney and Mayweather - probably the three biggest whingers in the history of the sport - I find your comments laughable.
Yeah, one was being asked to take tests by an ego-maniac, chicken **** ****, the other one was being asked to **** in a cup just like every fighter is meant to after a fight. Dirrell = drugs cheat, for sure.
did he straight up refuse, or was it because he was rushed to the hospital and undergoing a brain scan? the article doesn't really say
Andre Dirrell and AA were in a compelling fight that got completely ruined for me with how it ended. First off let me send some positive thoughts Andre Dirrell's way as I think he could still be in a dangerous life threatening situation. Second Abraham is about as classy as a dog turd. Anyone could see something was not right with Dirrell after he got hit & went down & by the aftermath in the corner that was maybe one of the most chaotic I've ever seen that didn't involve someone trying to start a brawl. And Abraham has the gull to say that the guy who nearly outclassed him completely (I think Dirrell lost 3 rounds max even if you were Abraham's girlfriend/wife scoring the fight) & dropped him for the first time in his career is merely a good actor -AA is a very bad and dumb actor since he's using the same line Mayweather is using against Pac. Concerning his first comments, I seriously hope he was just in the heat of the moment & didn't realize what was going on, but this guy is a classless POS when he loses in my book. Finally we have sent people into space, we can surf the internet on tinier & tinier devices that fit into our pockets & woman can all have perfect breasts for a price, but SERIOUSLY we can't advertise a beer or random product in a boxing ring in a manner that doesn't provide a health hazard for the competitors in that ring? Really? No really? This is seriously one of the dumbest things ever to have in a boxing ring. Why don't we make it really interesting & put some spikes alongside the ropes. Step too far back & good game to your size 12's. Kinda ashamed to be a boxing fan today with all the ignorance involved in this fight that has probably damaged a young mans life & certainly his career which I think we all know is always an issue in this sport, but under the conditions of this fight wasn't how it should've went down.
