    I used to follow the UK domestic scene alot but lately I've been so busy that I haven't really had the chance. I kind of forgot about Francis but now I remember that he had that shoulder problem. Something with the socket and now he's got a screw in his arm. From what I remember he was a pretty decent fighter. It got me to thinking. Erdei's been fighting extra soft opposition lately. Is this the opponent that finally makes him pay?

    Erdei will give him a beating.

    He can hardly use his right because of his shoulder still and was troubled by Tony Oakey's workrate until he finally used his right hand.

    Damn you.

    Still, I'd like to see Dean pull the upset.

    it was a left hook that he pulled out to stop oakey.


    i saw him agaisnt gbenga. looked very good but i think threw about 20 right hands (this is not an exageration) the whole fight. he has no confidence in it. it's hard to say to yourself that it wont break when you rthrow it and takes some time to mentally make you able to throw it.



    besides oakey is oakey.80 punches a round, body shots and and amazing stmaian for a short fat man. and Erdei is hardly a pressure cooker.


    i think dean has a decent chance...he will NEVER get another chance and it's possible that this will be his last fight.

    I hope Dean gets paid well for his troubles cuz I agree with you. This is basically it for him.

    That fight with Oakey was one of the domestic fights of the year imo

    Thats why I don't think that he will hesitate in pulling the trigger for his right hand in this fight....its his first and last chance at glory
