    He's still running from Froch and Stevens, probably somewhere in Alaska by now.

    He was almost silent after the Abraham debacle, out with "neurological issues" (which I think is commonly taken to be his embarrassment after watching tape of himself doing his "seizure/heart attack/where am I mommy/i broke my back it's spinal" routine).

    Somewhere in there he was supposed to fight Andre Ward, who he ducked because "he can't his his friend".

    After that nobody cared.

    He is fighting St-Juste in August. I started a thread about that last week.

    One good performance and he is right back in the mix. This is a tough sport and he did have neurological issues from the Abraham fight. For his sake, I hope he has fully recovered if at all possible.

    that 'brain damage' bull**** was one of the most embarrassing things thats ever happened in boxing. How far will some people go to try and keep their ego intact!?!?!


    Pretty far in Dirrell's case, he still hasn't come back!

    He was Koborovs main sparring partner for his recent fight.

    Koborov said it was one of the main reasons for his performance.
