I guess with the sort of form he will be getting the call from Frank for Dubois next fight after this one another 1st round knockout
Why cant we have David Price vs Dubois? Now that would be a big fight. Looking forward to the next installment of David Price, more than two green prospects knocking over bums who are paid to fall down in front of them
2 poor opponents. Darch is disposed off within 2 rounds. The other fella 39 now and up in weight... he’s gona get stopped within 7/8. How is Yarde 6th with the WBO? Who’s he fought to get that ranking?
Very disappointed in Dubois opponent, especially when you've got Frank feeding us rubbish about him knocking AJ out within the year
I could be wrong on this but I'm sure they've had to wait for Dubois to be a certain age or something but he can fight for a British title. Could be complete tripe but I'm certain I read that somewhere.
Frank Warren strikes again with his BS matchmaking, to be fair, the Dubois fight is ok as he's still very raw so I don't mind him fighting those level of opponents, although it would have been nice if he picked someone who has a proven chin. The Yarde fight is another disgrace, dragging up a super middle to fight a big light heavy like Yarde all in the hope of pulling the wool over the eyes of the public, just fight someone like Hosea Burton for christ sake, atleast we know he will come to fight and not just to get KO'd.
You’ve got to be 21 to fight for a British title and since Dubois only turned 20 a couple of months back, he’s got the better part of a year to wait if he wants to go down that route. Warren not so long ago wanted the BBBC to changed that ruling but now he saying that he thinks that Dubois will be ready for Joe Parker after another 5 fights and Joshua within a year!
Thanks for confirming, I didn't know that until recently. I think realistically I'd like to see him in with Nick Webb next then
Are we supposed to be happy Yarde is fighting someone with a winning record. I think i've already seen a couple of weaknesses in him and that's against nobodies really. He's going to get hammered on his first step up at this rate. Guys like Shinkwin and Ball would be a test for him at this point because other than his power we have seen nothing of him. Du Bois I'm less worried about hes blowing guys out the way absolutely stretching people - u cant teach that and his balance and fluidity both look good. What he needs now is someone who can take a dig but usually, that means stepping up and its maybe a bit too soon for that. British heavys are a bit thin on the ground so maybe they need to get a few Hungarian/Bulgarian trial horses over for him - guys who know how to survive.
What's the rationale behind this age restriction? If you are good enough you are old enough!? Yarde has a better matchup than Dubois imo
He's avoiding anyone the same size at the minute. How the hell has he got any kind of ranking domestic or otherwise
