    What next for them?

    Dubois is 20 years of age. I’ve got no problem with him moving as slow as he can at the moment but I’d like to see him in with someone who’s going to give him a few more rounds without stepping it up too much. I think at the moment Gorman could beat him. (I’ve no doubt if Dubois avoids it for a year or so he will go on to destroy him).

    Yarde id like to see him in with a genuine light heavyweight. A top 15 ranked fighter from any of the organisations.

    Selby we all know it’s Warrington next up for him. He needs to up his game though because if that was Warrington last night in there he would have lost.

    Degale to chase the Truax rematch? I just can’t for the life of me comprehend how there was no rematch clause inserted! I wonder if frank can negotiate the rematch or Degale goes over to Eddie for help. Or does Eddie go after Truax himself for Fielding?

    FW goes on and on about making best fights for the fans and then delivers that crock last night!! You’re the same as Eddie both snakes imo.

    How can the upset of the year be 'crock'?

    Wasn’t a shock at all.....DeGale lost whatever he had in the Jack fight. It’s hard to be the same guy after a bad road crash. Still as a card I thought it was poor and predictable, DeGale apart if the result was a bit of a surprise.

    Yarde should face someone like Caparello, Monaghan or Buglioni
    Dubois: Molina, Stiverne or Helenius.

    The question really is what happens when Yarde & Dubois lose ( both too easy to hit at top level ) who else is in the Warren stable to headline cards? Frampton isn’t the fighter he was and will come short at elite level and Fury might end up doing his own thing anyway so worrying times ahead for FW & BT link I think.

    Fcuking hell mate, even if your right and there both getting hit to much (I don’t understand what your on about personally but fair enough) do you think that there is no way that they can tighten up their defence as they develope and get more Experience?

    Bizzare post mate, Degale got beat. Selby was in a competitive fight which went 12, Yarde had a step up and Dubious did what is expected of young heavyweight- what more where you expecting to see to make it even a reasonable nights action In your opinion?

    It's a non starter for both camps so let's talk viable options, instead of this tired argument?

    Bizarre is that you’re thinking that was a good show? Apart from watching Degale getting bashed about it was boring! Same old hyping up opponents but reality is Darch & Yarde opponent were same old hand picked guarantees. Yarde stepped up by fighting a super middle weight?

    Both fighters you can plainly see think their best defence is blowing people away as quick as poss but when they reach top end level and have to go through the second half of a 12 rounder they will not have a plan B. You can’t learn defence only in the gym you need to learn it in fights so if you don’t bring it to fights now it will be too late when you decide to use it.

    Mate, you would have complained whatever happened last night - even Sycon and some of others haven't tried to claim the show turned out to be crap.

    Not saying Matchroom do a better job nor that some recent Warren shows haven’t been good but last night was just typical in terms of outcome apart from DeGsle so it’s getting boring. Just an opinion that’s all.

    It’s a hard card to judge.

    2 European titles and 2 world titles on the line.

    Mullender - Churcher I haven’t really got a comment to make.

    Dubois - done what was expected. No problem with him fighting Darch and the likes at this stage.

    Yarde - needs to fight better opposition and not super middleweights.

    Lee Selby - he’s a brilliant boxer but far from entertaining. I actually fell asleep during his fight.

    Degale - woke up and watched it this morning. First round I thought here we go, just as expected a one way pasting coming but then it turned out to be upset of the year. I was worried for Truax I genuinely didn’t think he would get the decision but he did and deservedly so.

    So overall was it a great show? No. Was it a bad show. Not really. It could have been better with better match making for Yarde, Selby and Degale. The latter two I genuinely believe would have performed better against better opposition but at the same time I understand why they were fighting who they were. Yarde is the one that definitely shouldn’t have happened.
