Andre Dirrell’s withdrawal from Showtime’s Super Six Tournament has left some boxing fans questioning the legitimacy of his reason for leaving the tournament. A neurologist has said he can’t fight due to lingering dizziness and headaches that originated over six months ago, following his DQ win over Arthur Abraham. I’m willing to give Dirrell the benefit of the doubt. I don’t believe he was “faking it” when he was knocked unconscious by the illegal blow delivered by Abraham on March 27. I’m not prepared to say he’s “faking it’ now.
