    Did I hear him say that he doesn't get hit that much?! Signs of memory loss as well.

    He's explained this before. He sounds like this because his tongue was torn completely apart - think it was the Ortiz fight.

    He has always had a lazy delivery and slurs his words it isn’t any proof he is punch drunk.

    I see the trolls are all over that video too.

    If he has passed the brain scans he is fit to fight. My issue is the level of opponents he is facing far exceeds his ability level, and this has led to him taking some serious beatings. The Yoka fight being the worst of the lot.

    Hearn has a lot to answer for with Dave. Putting him in way above his ability level will eventually catch up with him. He needs to be fighting at area title level, that is his level.

    It's just how he talks. Tommy Coyle is the one that scares me, he sounds like he's got Motor Neurone Disease.

    He does have chewing gum in his mouth mind. Also he has always talked like his tongue is too big for his mouth. That said, I don't think he needs to be taking anymore head shots anyway.

    Just from the way he's moving around in the first vid, plus his expressions and eyes, he looks drunk. Dave is Dave and nothing is going to change until something changes. I hope that something is his choice and not something that just happens to him.
