Couple days old but Dirrell has pulled out the Super Six.

WBA Super Middleweight Champion and 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Andre Ward (22-0, 13 KOs) issued the following statement upon hearing the news of 2004 Olympic Bronze Medalist Andre Dirrell pulling out of SHOWTIME's Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament because of neurological issues stemming from his last bout against Arthur Abraham."It's very unfortunate to hear about Andre Dirrell's situation. It's never a good thing for a fight not to be able to work, especially for a neurological reason. I pray for his health and that he is able to return to the ring as soon as possible," Ward said...

Am I a cynic to think that Dirrell is ducking out because he and Ward don't want to fight each other and not because of the damage of what Abraham done?!Either way, Ward is still schedueled to fight on the 27th of Nov so it will be interesting in who they bring in in the next few days/weeks to fight him.

No mate, you're definiterly not the only one who can see that's what happened. He's gonna have to wait for the whole tournament to be over before he fights again now though, if he wants to retain any credibility.The Super 6 is turning into a bit of a joke now. Could you imagine if the final was between 2 replacement fighters?!

Would give you a thousand pos's if i couldSpent a while earlier trying to find it online and couldn't! Read alot about Dirrell dodging a question and looking confused as f*ck when asked which doctor diagnosed him then his uncle saying no more interview till his lawyer gets there?! lmao sounds like a must see but from what I've read it seems to back up a comment I made earlier in this threadc/s it being better than 24 7 aswell. this isnt as staged/dramatised

LOL, yeah."So what was the name of the doctor who did the scans?""Errr, I errr, I mean, err, I don't recall his name""well was it your family doctor?""yeah it was, i mean, err, i don't remember, yeah i think so""So it wasn't a specialist who told you this?""No, I mean yaeh, the family doctor sent me to a specialist but err I don't recall his name either":/Followed by, "we're not answering any more questions without a lawyer present"

Cant remember the last time I saw someone fall so slowly. Thought the ref could of helped Camacho earlier aswell. Apparently he had to be told the fight was over when he was on his stool./EDIT: "We’re trying to secure a title eliminator for February and [trainer] Russ [Anber] told us after the April 8 fight he will be ready for anybody,” Michel told Rafael. “We want to go after the champion, big time: Sergio Martinez, Paul Williams, whoever."
