Having been around substance abuse my whole life, I understand how serious this is. I wish him nothing but the best.

What coincidence, goes into rehab days before the biggest fight in years, sell this PPV DLH.

timing does seem weird but if its on the up and up then good luck to him but if he is on some publicity ish he's a straight tool

Yeah, pretty strange timing.....he couldn't wait a week to do this? Not making slight of his issue but it's almost like he is jealous of the attention that the fight is getting or something. Once again, I'm not crapping on DLH, I feel for the guy if he has issues but the timing is odd.

As i look at some of these posts, i cant help but think about how this man has given his life to boxing, not ducking, fighting big fights, now making big fights for our (the fans) enjoyment. And how the "fans" are always saying boxers should do this or that for the "fans" and now when he needs the support of these very "fans" they just kick him when he's down and make a joke out of something so serious and life threatening. This is why most athletes shouldn't give a damn about what a "fan" wants to see. Good luck to you CHAMP.

How sad man hopefully he'll be able to pull himself out of this I think these days we all know or sad to to say knew somebody with similar struggles at least he has the stones to admit to this its the first step and eventually rid himself of these demons.

for hiim to be seeking rehab on the eve of the biggest night of his post boxing career he must be really hurting.


i hope he cleans himself up and turns his life around. he's got a lot to live for. family, career, and massive success. many of the people who ruin their lives with drugs do not.



money cannot make you happy.

"he is jealous of all the the attention the fight is getting" never thought of that but its def possible

I can't understand it, why now? He could not wait a few day in one of the biggest if not the biggest promotion he was ever involved in? Is there something else behind this? I guess we will find out in the upcoming days. If this is legit, i hope he gets the help he needs!
