    Promoter Gary Shaw has provided an update on the condition of Andre Dirrell after the blow he suffered when Abraham landed a huge right hand to his head while he was down. “Andre suffered a concussion. One doctor thought he suffered a seizure. His thoughts were very scrambled. He went from yelling to everyone over at Showtime, ‘who called me a coward’ to yelling ‘they knocked me out’ to ‘where’s the fight? I want to fight,’” stated Shaw. Shaw explained that the Michigan State Athletic Commission should have taken additional precautions when a disheveled Dirrell seemed disoriented and confused following the incident. “I think the fact that Michigan has not done a lot of big fights created some problems within the ring,” explained the promoter. “[Andre] should have been taken from the ring in a stretcher and transported immediately to the hospital. Instead he walked to the dressing room and while there was absolutely scrambled”.
    Shaw also noted that Dirrell spent three hours undergoing neurological testing at the hospital and despite being cleared, was still visibly shaken. The promoter reported that Dirrell seemed better yesterday and would fully recover from the setback to battle against fellow American Olympian Andre Ward in Group Stage 3 of the tournament.

    Does this mean that he suffered a concussion as another poster suggested or not? I think that will go a long way into changing many peoples minds about whether or not he was acting?

    it wasn't full power but it almost spun his head being the fact that he was down and couldn't react to it.

    Then why does AA say in the post fight interview that he shouldn't be DQ'd he should be awarded the KO since Dirrell wasn't down, he was "like this"? Only after seeing the replay does he go to the bull**** about 'acting'. AA isn't very good in him improve acting, that is for sure.

    That fat **** was stood right there when Showtime interviewed him. If he thought Dirrell was injured, why did he let that happen? Why was he not protecting his fighter?

    It's suspicious to me, that his team was so bad. Maybe they are just incompetent, that could be it, but it was SO bad, I started doubting the injury. If it's the case he wasn't acting, then every person in that ring on Dirrell's side, should be ashamed of themselves. Heads should roll because of their dangerous incompetance.

    If Shaw does decide to get some answers, then the concussion is real. If he let's such gross negliegence of his fighter pass by, he is either the shady promoter we all hate or there's something more to the "concussion".
