    Sad... just sad. Someone close needs to give Tom the 'talk' he's not cut out for the sport of boxing.

    He's just a low level journeyman who had a severely padded record before meeting up with Price back in the day.
    He should call it a day, or just become a TBA.

    We'll prob see him thrown in with Hughie in the not too distant future then. They've got to get that KO percentage up somehow.

    You have to think he is totally skint to still be carrying on a roofer by trade so maybe the work has dried up pretty sure he had already retired once.

    The thing is with even good journeymen they don't get stopped often so they can earn every few weeks,he should be told to call it a day.He would of been getting around £1k for last night he has no punch resistance what price your long term health?

    How was he able to spar with Price for so long? Surely he would've been getting knocked out constantly every week.

    That is a shame. Gutted for tom.

    He wasn't too bad a few years back but since Price knocked him out it's been game over/

    Both were with Maloney at the time I guess Price was often told to take it easy,more move around spars than anything heavy often the case when fighters are in the same camp.Saves on cost's also.

    I also see Dallas was also penciled in to fight again early December on boxrec.

    No but.... he was a least a domestic level guy. He's beaten guys a lot better than this. Some decent mid level journeymen like Lee Swaby(actually beat him faster than anyone else) Tomas Mrazez, Tom Little(only guy to have stopped him) and stopped Werner Kreiskott in 1. Anyways you get the point. He's beaten guys of this level and higher, and while never any good this is still hitting rock bottom even for someone like him.

    I always look at it this way once you start losing to guys you were beating comfortably on the way up on the way down unless you are desperate for the coin why put yourself through the pain and hurt?Interesting to read here his family business is doing well.

    If anyone says 'love of the game' or quotes of that nature they obviously haven't been inside a ring or know anyone that has again once you drop to journeymen level the good ones know how to survive and move around,Dallas has been stopped 6 times and has never lost on points.Being stopped and hurt by men of 16st plus is not good either now or long term this business has a habit of leaving it's mark on your long term health detrimentally.

    The love the way people say about his family are wealthy so he don't need to fight.

    Some in my family are wealthy but i'm not and they never help me out.

    Pala, Fraudley, Skelton, McDermott, and Skelton are all better lol. Debatable if he's even as good of a win as Machimana or Butler tbh.
