    Showtime's latest Fight Camp ask's more questions of Dirrell's injury than it sets out to answer. The excellent program covers the twists and turns behind each participants preparations before the next round of fights begin.

    In revealing footage shot by the Fight Camp producers before Dirrell withdrew, shows some alarming comments being made by one of Dirrell's camp - his cousin Leon Lawson junior who the son of Andre's trainer.

    "It's not a guarantee that we face Ward next." claimed Leon Lawson jr, almost uncannily during the opening minutes of the latest fight camp 360 episode.


    "This is a business." he states candidly.

    "we're 'Prize' fighters... not 'Pride' fighters.

    "If they wanna dance then get that MONEY right." concluded Lawson.

    The comments come out of the blue as all the participating fighters in the Showtime Super Six are contracted with agreed purses up front for their involvement. From a neutral perspective it would appear that they were under the belief that their fighter was now worth more than they originally signed up for.

    Later in the show, the team visit Andre Dirrell's home to get his side of events, but when asked which doctor allegedly advised he withdraw from the event, Andre was seemingly lost for words and his family stuttered before dropping names.

    Then immeadiately after the question was posed, Lawson senior declared that he wanted "Lawyers present" if they continued to ask such questions of his fighter.

    The Showtime team then stated that this was an opportunity for Andre to tell the story of his withdrawal to answer suspicious critics who feel that his injury is not legit.

    It a bold move, the team then asked Team Dirrell if "He was scared".

    This provoked Lawson junior to again intervene and declare that whilst Andre isn't fighting, him and his team are not making money.

    "I love making money." he boldy declared before quickly adding that he'd happily push forward the boxer to fight in the quest for dollar bills, but that Andre was 'family'.

    "Direll in cowardly little ***** shocker"

    Ward will be next, when he sees two true warriors in King Arthur and the Cobra squaring off he'll soil his holy pants and cry off out of the tournament.


    These two american level runts can't hack it with the world level europeans without cheating.

    Sad times.

    Sue this mo*******er.

    And his entourage of criminals was blaming Abraham for a "career threatning injury". This is really scandalous.
    I cannot believe how people still can back this person.

    It was always clear he was fit to fight Ward.

    American Fighters have no heart. It's irrefutable.

    Dirrell is a disgrace. A runner in the ring, and a runner outside. A fraud. There is absolutely nothing to like about this guy.

    Al Bernstein from Showtime:

    “Well obviously some people are a little skeptical about it, and I understand that. I get why they might be because clearly we didn’t hear about these injuries or potential neurological problems when the fight was made with Andre Ward for November 27. They came after. Beyond that, you have to accept the veracity of what they’re saying. It’s unfortunate. It’s really unfortunate because (1) it would have been a very interesting fight with Dirrell and Ward, and (2) obviously as much as anything, that throws a big ****** wrench into the tournament. Obviously nobody wants a fighter to get hurt and you would not want him to fight if it’s not appropriate, but I think Dirrell and his camp certainly left room for skepticism about their assertions.”

    Between the lines it says, this mofo almost destroyed our tournament and bitched out.

    Being showtime i would call my lawyers now.

    He lost to Froch and got knocked out by Abraham. Time to retire.

    faking a brain injury is worse than any ducking or bitching out,so if he did fake i hope he never gets a fight again.

    I'd be more afraid to fight Abraham than I would Ward.

    You guys are forgetting the fact that in Michigan everything is worse.

    - If you get stunned, you are floored.
    - If you get hit while down, you are knocked out.
    - If you have a headache, you have braindamage. :deal

    Its a shame, Dirrel has so much talent, but no real will to be champion

    It really shows when fighters claim that 70% of boxing is mental, and 30% is physical. Froch is a prime example of a fighter with average skills but great mental strength and a champions heart to win.

    Dirrel is just :/ :/
