Do the Dickinson Brothers get no credit because they are from the North East???

I think the problem has more to do with their relative (no pun intended) inactivity as opposed to their geographic location

 

They have both been on sky more than once, don't see what
the problem is.

 

It's not because they're form the NE then?

 

It's a mixture of inactivity and lack of press, and the fact they haven't got a big promotor behind them.

The only cure for that is winning, and winning impressivily so people can't help but notice them. Travis Dickinson will go far, he seems really really composed in the ring and should go on to easily get a European belt at some point. His brother has suffered a couple of set backs and there are some questions over his chin, but he has knockout power and if he gets fighters out of there early, he too could become a British champion.

 

I guess that highlights not his chin in that case but his lack of defence. Perhaps he can take a good shot as well as any, but if he's putting himself in a situation where his nose is smashed up. Then he has to go back to the gym and think "how did I get caught with those shots".

I didn't watch either fight, and agree with you that it might not be a matter of chin. Those things happen in boxing in regards to swelling and broken jaws etc. But they're things he probably knows he could have avoided if he did things differently.

 

DeGale was an Olympic gold medalist. Comparing how he was promoted to virtually any other prospects is a little pointless.

 

If Jeffries was more active, then the Dickinson brothers would be too. With Jeffries out, they struggle to be able to put shows on up in the North East.

Jon-Lewis was coming along nicely until the injuries really halted his progress and momentum built from Prizefighter. Plus, I've heard Travis can only blame himself and his out-of-ring activities as to why he hasn't been as active as he should be.
