Daniel Dubois is facing maurico Barragan, 15-1 , a light heavy, whos had 1 fight at cruiserweight, KO'd at light heavy, for the WBC Youth belt. This is dangerous and horrific. Warren loves to mention lee purdy and barry hearn sauna story all the time on IFL, this is even worse.
For all the criticism about Hearn and his matchmaking, nothing compares to some of the cans that Warren has fed his prospects over the years. The matchmaking for Dubois so far has been absolutely horrendous, much worse than what's been given to Okolie and the other rising stars. Someone could get seriously injured if he keeps feeding these LHW's to Dubois.
at last someone agrees with me. but be careful we may be accused of hearn fan boys. dubois first opponent was about 40kg overweight, 5 10 and shoulda weighed in at light heavy. ppl forget WBO warren managed to get smith to fight john Thompson for a world tittle, and Tete upgraded to a world champ. that's questionable alone not mentioning all these moody oppponents with horrific records as oppponents for WBO European belts
the journeyman he matches his fighters with are FAR worse than matchrooms. yet people want to make a thread after every matchroom show titled "mismatchroom at it again" and never mention Queensbury
So this guy is 29 and fighting for the WBC 'Youth' heavyweight championship. What exactly constitutes youthfulness for the WBC. http://www.wbcboxing.com/youth/index.php/about-the-program according to WBC Youth website the maximum age is 23 years and 11 months. Joke fight.
nah coz then it justifies that bull****. these sort of fights are needed early on just need to not be as reckless with it, these are peoples lives at the end of the day
