    Chose to participate in the Super 6? obviously we all now know that's he's an absolute disgrace who faked a brain injury so he could leave the tournament etc. but do you respect Dirrell for stepping up in the first place? (again please don't count in the fact he was later exposed as a disgrace) also was this the reason he got rid of Al Haymon? because he forced Dirrell into fighting opponents that wern't cans?

    Hell, the Disgrace beat Froch on his home turf and then got robbed. Nothing disgraceful about that. I've never been punched in the head by Arthur Abraham when I'm down and not looking, so I have no idea about fake brain injuries.

    I thought he edged Froch but it wasn't a robbery (especially with all the running he was doing) i've not been grazed with a punch by Abraham either :oops:

    I don't understand how people can convincingly say he faked his injury.

    You mean the initial KO punch? (which may very well have been legitimate) or the brain damage he claimed to have at a later date?

    Gary Shaw is the one who went out public to the Scene and said "yes, I would love for Andre to go fight Bute in Canada".

    Both Shaw & Haymon got fired the following week. Out actual promoter/manager, in Team Dirrell Promotions.

    I'm sure Leon Lawson will get him a lot of great home fights. :!:

    Haters gonna hate. The song never changes. I'd love to see some of these critics go a few rounds with Andre..lose a few front teeth and all. Brave men behind keyboards.

    Dirrell= all the skills in the world but possible mental midget.....Chad Dawson 2. Either way I think he beats anyone at SMW that isn't Ward/Bute and he'd be a difficult fight for both those guys.

    Dirrell had no big fights going into the Super 6. In fact, he had nothing close to a big fight - mostly Haymon-orchestrated showcases. He beat Froch in Nottingham in front of 8k frothing English skinheads. Then he was busy exposing Arthur Abraham before the cheap-shot derailed him in one of the most bizarre scenes I have witnessed in this great sport.

    You can't blame for not wanting to fight Andre Ward, the best 168er who is also a close friend of his, coming off a ridiculous DQ win in which he basically got KO'd.

    He beat Froch he would beat Bute. Sergio is ducking him. But he cant beat the Son of God. The Son of God is number 2 pfp in the world

    Dirrell is a bum. Tried to foul his way to a win over Froch, had to rely on acting to bear Abraham. **** him. He probably thought the S6 would bring some $$$
