    Not sure what his ambitions were,Maloney was keen on him. I agree though.

    Agreed his heart clearly wasn't in the Skelton fight he should just look into another career

    I was ringside last night and Dallas took a real beating. Maloney, judging by the gestures he was making looked like he wanted the fight stopped a round earlier.

    Skelton literally couldn't miss and considering how slow and plodding he is it doesn't bode well for Dallas in upcoming fights... So much to work on, starting of with some (any) head movement.

    He is a roofer, boxing is only an hobby. Fairplay to the lad for making money and enjoying the sport, his level is domestic journeymen for up and comping HW's now imo.

    Him v Larry OlaBUMiwo would be a decent crossroads fight, should be their next fights imo. The loser of that should retire to be fair.

    He did, before the fight went. The dangling on the rope thing was terrible, as if he was limp but the ref steps in and he is fine to stand on his own two feet.

    Dallas simply is no fighter.

    Decent power, and can box tall off a jab when he's of a mind - but he hasn't got the heart or mindset for it.

    Not his bag. :conf Nothing to get hung about.
     
  11. I think he should pack it in too.

    Lots of fighters aren't really good, like Dallas, but at least their heart is in it. Anyone who has played any sport (or had any job for that matter) will know that if you go in half hearted you WILL fail.

    In boxing he could be seriously hurt. He seems like a good lad, but professional boxing isn't for him, that was clearly the case in the Page fight and has been re-inforced in his last two displays.

    I felt bad for the guy as he looked lost in there last night. I dont mind seeing someone lose but he clearly (for whatever reasons) did not want to be there.

    Tyson Fury may have watched this and regretted not taking Price on ...

    Don't want to slag Dallas off he seems like a nice enough guy but I do think he should pack it in, he got battered by a 45 year old who hadn't fought in 18 months.

    If he carrys on he will turn into a punchbag, expect them to throw him in with Dillian White soon though.
