    Not many may know but Parker, Charr, Dimitrenko, Wach, Chisora twice or even more,Oquendo, Junior Fa, Stiverne all have been offered chance to fight Kuzmin but all rejected the chance to fight Kuzmin by requesting big cheque. And Justin Jones simply rejected fight.

    Richard Torrez just won the Chemistry Cup in Germany, beating Cuban Jose Larduet in the final.

    Well, I'm not going to say that I'm impressed with Dubois but he is moving forward fight by fight and doing it in a impressive way. I fully expect 3 to 4 fights from him this year.

    Wow. Little was in terrible shape and still took Dubois almost 5 rounds. Had he not trained on ale and fish/chips he probably would have lasted the distance. Not impressed with Dubois at all, but at you said he's 20 and moving up the ranks. He can't be completely written off. Still there are far more impressive guys coming up domestically like Gorman, Joyce and maybe even Webb.

    Good showing by Kean. I want to see him against Dubois.

    Yoka looked slow at times and not impressed with his punch output.

    All you need to beat Yoka is good guard, workrate and big time power.

    Apti Davtaev picked another win, this time beating Cory Phelps by 2 round TKO. Fit Davtaev can knock out Yoka. He has brutal power. So far he has 15 wins, 14 by KO and one draw.

    Frank Warren, Dubois’ promoter, said that a fight against Nathan Gorman, the WBC International and former English champion, could be on the cards within 18 months.

    Fans have clamoured for the contest, but the Hall of Fame man Warren believes it will generate more money for both fighters if it happens further down the line.

    “I feel ready. But I leave that up to my promoter Frank [Warren] and my manager Martin Bowers, they know best for me," Dubois said.

    Davtaev beats Dubois right now. And he will get stronger as time goes by. Fighting Davtaev would end up catastrophic for Dubois.
