    Damn Dr Shore high can work miracles. He's ready to fight only months after being stopped for serious brain issues. What a man.

    There are 12 months in 2011. He won't fight in January.

    To the TS: Bute is searching for good opponents.

    Dirrell is ridiculous at this point. Anyone who doesn't think he's a ****ing coward, is a joke.

    All I hope for, is that Showtime drop him, HBO maintain their stance of ignoring him and he can't get on ESPN. He's a disgrace.

    They aren't dropping him and in fact they are in on the pulling out and future matches. No other possibilities for them not suing him.

    As far as a coward goes, Facing froch and AA back to back is not something a coward would do and neither is boxing in general. Nothing about what he did to AA looked cowardly. His discipline to stay to his gameplan (the wrong gameplan) was the reason for how he fought froch, which was apparent by how he took it to froch when his corner told him too.

    No need to call any fighter a coward. It's just ingnorant. Alot of these promoters are cowards though but not the fighters.

    You prolly have a guy on your same street you are scared to **** with.

    Doctor Shaw Hi is actually a 23 year old medical assistant inside the clinic at showtime head quarters. They pulled him to the side for 5 minutes of his time.

    If you like fighters for their skill then you have to love what he did. If you care for the manufactured image then you might not like him. I always find him to be very honest prior to his fights. He's said he was nervous more than any fighter I've ever seen going into the fight. That bizarre act was crazy but I'm no doctor and don't know about delayed reactions too much. Either he was acting or abraham's punch was laced with amnesia. Either way, he is a super talent and one of the few who can be offensive and defensive at the same time when he wants too. Him and Ward not fighting eachother at this stage is understandable to me and obviously showtime too.

    Mendy/Brinkley in an IBF eliminator, then Bute for the belt (summer). Possibly a late Dirrell-Johnson clash in Dec 2011 for Johnson's last payday (retirement to follow), and for Dirrell to bounce back in fashion if he loses to Bute.

    That's all for 2011.

    I think direll has awesome skills but he seems mentally very weak and he lacks heart.

    I don't really have a guage on Dirrell's mentality. He seems to me like someone who does not have the hardened, man vs man in combat mentality (gladiator mentality). He seems too down to earth and like a really nice guy type who cares about other people more than the average. He doesn't have that **** everyone Mentality like most have. Boxing doesn't seem like War to him and more like a game/sport. He's a very weird one.
