    Many pro boxers suffer concussions in their fights.

    Mosley suffered 2 concussions in the forrest fight and he finished it standing up........

    Difference is mosley chose to fight through the end, dirrell chose to lay down.

    Cant blame him though..... He had the fight in the bag,but if he got up to try to finish it, it would have probobly gotten KOED....

    First of all he wouldn't be allowed to continue simple as that.
    Second thing is there is a big difference between a mild concussion and a more severe concussion.

    Check this link for some info about the issue please >>> [url]http://www.emedicinehealth.com/concussion/article_em.htm[/url]

    BTW why is it a big feat to finish the fight with a concussion?
    I respect the thoughness of a guy like Mosley I'm a big fan of his, but there is a limit.
    Muhammad Ali got Parkinson for a reason you know.

    Ofcourse there is a difference between a severe and mild concussion....

    But since we dont know how severe the 2 concussions mosley sufferd, or the 1 concussion dirrell sufferd are.... that is irrelevent, unless you have evidence indicating the serverity of all 3....

    All im trying to say is, the fact that he had a concussion, does not prove he was hurt beyond the point of being able to get up....

    As i stated from the beggining, i think he got hurt... but he milked it a bit

    Because after these 2 fights im starting to question dirrells heart a bit.... It seems he has all the tools to be a great, even a good chin, but he hasnt shown heart yet.....

    Dirrell haters (theres a few), were saying idiotic things like it was all an act....
    and dirrell dickriders (i dont know were these guys came from suddenly) all act like dirrell sufferd some kind of life threating injury like he got shot or somthing......

    Yeah Dirrell has got some annoying fans, but I definitely think that there's no reason to think Dirrell acted.
    He is a dramatic boxer, but he's not the lier or actor some wants to make him IMO.

    His heart is not the biggest question for me.
    I think he needs to keep his composure instead of going with the flow of the fight.
    He got a little wild and sloppy in the late rds, which gave AA hope of getting the KO.
    He didn't need to do that, but maybe he was a little gassed as well, so his conditioning can get better yet.

    so what your saying is anyone who got knocked the fukk out has no heart?

    and Dirrell didn't suffer any brain damage like mosley

    fukk i can't even explain this properly, let me start from the beggining by definining concussion
    a concussion is used by most doctors as a sign of brain damage from the MRI scan

    but in definition a concussion is the loss of consciousness due to a blow to the head

    most of the people that actually get brain damage i.e concussion are not knocked out
    infact, the ones that get KO'd are the ones that are better off(tho it might take a toll on a fighters mentality or feeling of invulnerability)

    for instance, mosley suffered a concussion(brain damage) and wasn't knocked out, just like most guys that have positive MRI scans he caused himself the damage because he was unlucky in a way of having a great chin and taking continues heavy blows to the head, resulting in a head injury

    ricky hatton
    simon brown
    andre dirrell

    guys that were brutally ko'd(simon even suffering a seizure like dirrell) where out of the hospital the same night with negative MRI's and hatton was out partying and blown up 2 days after getting ko'd

    so when the doc(note it was the doc in the locker room with him) says dirrell suffered a concussion, he came to teh conclusion from analysing dirrell, checking his eyes, asking him questions to see how confused he was etc
    but the scans came back negative, in other words no brain damage
