    Why has he pulled out of the fight? All I heard is that he may have priced himself out the fight.

    He said he wouldn't be ready in time,my guess is he's not close to fighting sgape.

    From what I have read and understand, he wasn't given enough notice. The fight is only a month away.

    What I really believe to be the reason, Glass Heart, Glass Confidence.

    Could you imagine Froch pulling out of a fight for these reasons? I think the world will stop moving once that happens! He's a proper SMW Champ!

    He may as well retire at this rate....I had high hopes for Dirrell a few years ago.

    Dirrell is running out of time. He needs to **** or get off the pot. Stevenson was a great fight for him to take.

    Dirrell hasn't done anything for over two years. Not good for his career. He needs to get on the comeback trail quickly like Pavlik has been doing.

    Yep even if he was just staying active fighting journeymen it would be better than nothing like he's been doing.

    Come on now ppl.....Did anyone honestly believe that Dre Dirrel was gonna take this dangerous fight.

    He's calling Pavlik right now for his contact list of Clevel fringe fighters who he can pad his record with.

    Anyone know what Matt Vanda is doing these days. Is Robin Reid still active. Maybe he can talk Pablo Farias into coming to Detroit for a megafight:lol::lol::lol:

    The two of them should meet up in 2013 for a title eliminator match. If Dirrell is anything like he was against Froch and Abraham, I think he'd dominate, but it'd be a good fight to see who gets to move on.
