    If I thought Kessler was pulling out to duck a fight I'd knock him, but I beleive in his injury. He's knocking on and has had some real tough fights, it's not suprising. I can't say for sure Dirrell is faking but I wasn't convinced by his delayed reaction KO in the Abraham fight, and now he's conveniently re-injured from something that happened months ago just before he has to take a fight he has proven he didn't want, and was likely to lose. I'm not convinced it's genuine, I'm not sure he's faking, so I keep out of it for the most part.

    Yes, because I use logic and facts to base my statements. Unfortunately on ESB, it is illogical to use logic.

    You're making some broad assumptions considering I never even brought up race.

    What I did bring up though are the FACTS that you speak of, which is what I'm basing my thread on.

    You can form your own opinion.

    And Dirrel hasn't fought tough fights?

    He fought Froch in a terrible performance which I felt he lost, but he didn't end up getting cut so bad you could practically see his skull, IE Kessler.

    And then he went on to fight possibly the hardest pfp puncher in the sport in Abraham, dominated him throughout the fight, and was hit with a cheap shot golf swing when he was on his knee.

    And people are trying to argue he wasn't hurt?

    This wasn't Malinaggi that hit him...

    Kessler has a genuine injury. Dirrell is just too pally with Ward to hurt him.

    Kessler's injury is that he legitimately got his ass beat by Ward and Froch.

    Dirrell was hit on his knees, unexpectedly by arguably the hardest PFP puncher in the sport.

    Why do you consider it hate?

    I don't hate the man. But it's hard to argue that he didn't get his ass beat in both of those fights, even the one he allegedly "won" against Froch.

    It's just that people need to look at both sides of the coin before bashing either fighter.

    You didn't see me making threads about Kessler bein a ***** for pullin out, did you?

    I left it alone.

    any outrage over kessler is unfounded compared to dirrell. two completely different sets of circumstances. kessler didn't wait six months, and he's just come off the two roughest fights consecutively in the tournament for any of the fighters.

    See, that may or may not be true. I could be black; I could be white, or mexican or even asian.....or mixed. Fact is race isn't relevant to this thread unless people who have racist minds make it relevant.

    I didn't say nothin about race, and if you look at, 99% of my threads and posts, I don't mention race.

    The way I look at it, the second I say anything that reveals anything about myself I'm automatically subjected to that category, and people will look at me in a way dictated by what they believe to be my identity.

    I know that racism exists, and if I gotta go through that **** in my daily life, why bring it to a website where in my leisure I can objectively judge fighters?

    I will say this, I got multiple races in my family, and that's my immediate family, so I can't afford to be racist in any way...

    I'll just leave it at that...

    Real talk though. I always thought you were White. You never struck me as racist though I'm not sure why anyone would label you as such.

    Hendo, Kessler and Palle had huge issues which stopped several fights, including the bout against Miranda. I think it was just promotional problems rather than anything else, mate.

    Dirrell and Ward have been dragging their feet for a long time and it was inevitable the fight wouldn't happen. Neither fighter entered training camp, neither promoter was actually promoting the fight, despite it, at points, being weeks away. It was never close. When Showtime threatened legal action, Dirrell pulls out, which means Showtime can't file legal action - Coincidence? I think few people will say it was.
