This should be an easier job for Dubois, Snijders is young and tall and this will be a great warm up for the fight against Joyce...
I do not know the facts, but it seems fishy to me that they can't get Pfeifer's medical records now (or whatever the problem was), but they can sign a completely new fighter. I am not going to call out Dubois, because I don't have the facts, and because, even if it is a duck, I don't know if it comes from Dubois or Warren, but I can say that I was giving mad credit to Dubois for fighting Pfeifer, on the verge of becoming a fan, and that pretty much all goes away now. Let him prove himself against Joyce and he'll get my vote.
Dubois ducking Pfeifer? No. Too old, too slow, too hittable. He's journeyman level guy. I know he was a good amateur for my country and has some skills but he turned pro too late and his whole style isn't fitting the pro game. I think Dubois would have ko'd him badly in 3 rounds and i'm not even sold on Dubois.
I don't think Dubois personally ducked him. But Warren did - thinking the risk/reward didn't balance out. Probably glanced at his record on Boxrec and got a bit nervous.
Haha. Maybe yeah On paper Pfeifer looks pretty decent. Experienced amateur, fought decent guys there, undefeated as a pro and apart from getting knocked down by a Fat journeyman he probably made it look easy crushing cans.
I would laugh to the point of probably suffering a heart attack if this became a HW Kirkland/Ishida with the featherfisted Snijders dropping Dubois several times en route to first round stoppage win. Warren would probably suffer a complete mental breakdown like Maloney did after Price/Thompson fights.
Supposedly it was the other way. On Boxrec he looks like some obscure bum with a padded record. But then someone told Warrenn that he was actually a really good amateur. Warrenn then had a change of mind

Rico Verhoeven would be a more live dog against Dubois than this kid would... Wouldn't you agree? Not that I'd like to see Rico take a beating here. But it speaks to the quality of this fight.
