Dan Rafael says Dirrell's career may be over.

Me too, but I guess I'm just not enough of a hard-hearted ******* to have that attitude about it. :yep

Nor does my cynicism run to the same paranoid extremes as a good many posters here.

. But what's most important is his safety. That's my whole thing. Even his attitude now, we had to tell him, 'Man, you better respect this game.'

t, but we told him we got to respect the doctor's opinion. This is not nothing to play with. It's really not a game.


He just wanted to fight:
" He just wanted to fight " against Froch he was running after Froch the whole 12th round never ever clinching or kneeling that why he won.
" He just wanted to fight " against Abraham even after that illegal blow " He just wanted to fight " he was punching the doctor to let him fight he even start crying in Gary's arms because they didn't let him fight
" He just wanted to fight " agains Ward. He even agree with Ward's unfair conditions. They would touch gloves in Oakland . Even after he got diagnosed with neurological problems ( ***** disease ) "He just wanted to fight "

You got to believe this warrior because all the time " HE JUST WANTED TO FIGHT "

 

If Dirrell is unfortunate to be suffering from severe neurological damage after 1 clean punch then he should retire immediately.

 

:rofl So true.

 

Yeah I´m with you on that.

It would mean Dirrell is still healty, plus AA fans don´t have to deal with accusations, whether AA ended Dirrells carrer.

I really hope they are lying, or it isn´t anything carrer ending, because Dirrell got skills and really put on a good and entertaining fight against AA (against Froch, not so much )

 

To be fair, a huge number of boxers have neurological damage. It's just that the vast majority of them will never admit it or put it on display for doctors to ruin a million dollar payday.

And neither would most of us I assume. There is more to this than is being published. If they actively sought this test and were looking for an out they got it.

 

laughable...he'll be fighting again in 2011

 

one punch? He took several good punches and was knocked down a few rounds earlier.

 

Yeah like AA meant to end his career, sorry no.
In that case lifetime ban for ANYONE who lands a blatant foul because they could potentially be ending someones career.

 

I'm losing count.
How many careers has this "Super 6" ended?

Taylor, Kessler & Now Dirrell...

 

That's exactly my point, if a dozen legal punches can add to his trauma then surely he shouldn't be allowed in a ring again?

 

You guys are ****ing ******ed.

Do you REALLY not see the difference between punches landing in the course of a fight and a free shot landed on someone who's unwitting & helpless?

If so, you really are ******ed and that isn't just a figure of speech. If you really don't get the difference, then your IQ is double digits - tops.

 

ok i remember reading he didn't even have a concussion after under going brain scans in the aftermath of the AA fight. and now he has neurological damage and his career is in jeopardy? google andre dirrell concussion. several links pop up saying his brain scans were negative. this is guy is a joke. when i watched the fight with AA, my first reaction was he was faking. the punch was not flush and he goes into a ****ing seizure?!? i don't understand how you can be knocked out go into a seizure, and have neurological damage from a punch that didn't even give him a concussion?

 

How dare u To compare the clearly out Mendy with "waaa let's put my hand on my head cuz it hurt's" Dirrell !!!!

SHAME ON YOU

 

So when a guy gets TKO'd and takes clean punches when he is defenceless, he is still more aware than Dirrell when he took the AA DQ punch? :think
