    Who gives a **** about Dirrell?

    Seriously....

    He bitched out of the Ward fight citing financial issues, then later claimed he had neurological problems. But he's still alright to spar with George Groves, huh?

    Hopefully the TV networks blackball him and leave him on the outer. He's got all the talent in the world but doesn't have the heart for it. Running from Froch, faking the KO against Abraham, and leaving the Super Six tournament which would have brought him international acclaim win or lose and an awful lot of money.

    He sparred Groves like a year after he fought Abraham. :patsch Basically the same amount of time it took for Kessler to come back from his blindness. :rofl




    Haters gonna hate.

    Wasting time creating a topic to defend Dirrel.

    :huh:huh:huh

    did you read the OP?

    I'm not defending him, I watched a whole bunch of his fights and concluded I'd favour him over any SMW today.

    Lulz

    :patsch

    only suckers buy into his antics & BS for sympathy...
    he balled out of the Ward fight because that was going to be a career-changing loss for him....

    whatever , im no kid douche bag....ive seen everything there is to see, and this goes down as a pretty weak sucker punch ...by sucker punch standards....one little half ass scoop punch did "more damage" than 15 rounds of Ali-Frazier ....a bunch of crap....

    i dont score fights...when i watch them with a group of people, some fans some not...and all them think the same things (he lost, why is he running, why doesnt he punch, why does he complain afterwards, like it was gonna be a surprise)

    Go watch the Jones vs Griffin fight. Roy catches him with a seemingly weak punch while Griffin was defenseless and Griffin goes down in a heap.

    :rofl:lol:

    Only a moron would think a guy would fake a KO in a fight he was winning, then while being interviewed insist "he got dropped"


    Why the **** would Dirrell think he got dropped when he faked getting KO'd. :patsch

    Jones hit Griffin while he's down. Griffin looks at the ref, complains, then falls flat on his face.

    Don't you get it? I'm not a fan of his, I don't care why he didn't fight ward.

    I'll make it clearer to you.

    I watched his fights and concluded i'd favour him over anyone else in the division.

    The shame about Dirrell is that on the way up he was matched quite tough and came through, so I expected to see more of him in big fights.
    Often alot of hyped fighters dont get matched tough on the way up and are all hype and no substance. Look at the difference in competition for Pirog and Jacobs on the way up and how Jacobs who had had more fights but fought lesser comp was expected to come through. Unreal.
    Dirrell and Pavlik were matched tough like alot of British prospects often are on the way up, so for that I thought Dirrell would have gone further.

    So are you now trying to compare Dirrells illness to Kesslers :patsch:lol:.
    Dirrell has no real details to his injury and wasnt specific and had agreed to fight Ward next, yet pulled out.
    Kessler had just beaten Froch.

    Big difference
