That Benn fight is gonna be interesting, he could definitely lose it. Don't know why the Gorman/Webb fight isn't going thru, that would have been a good one to see where both guys are at. I'm guessing Gorman is going to start being fed fringe Euro guys for a while now. Dubois should still be fighting every 6 weeks or so against guys like Akinlade, Healey and Machaj

That’s why they’ll withdraw from the purse bid, Conor Benn is ****, deep down Hearn knows this that’s why he fights lightweights like Kane Baker. Benn will remain fighting bums to help sell ticket’s to casuals till he can cash out in more lucrative fight.
Also **** the BBBofc for looking over much more deserving fighters like Kongo, Greene, Tetley etc. Obviously money is the most important thing to these frauds. Most prestigious belt in boxing my *rse😂

I think he’s gonna fight a lot of the guys you suggested though, there’s a difference between gaining experience and padding your record, I don’t think he’ll gain anything blowing guys like Machaj and Healey out.

Originally posted by Wing Pingping View PostHoly crap can this Conor guy just go away already? Boxing doesn't need you, got back to the Bellator fighting crap, you got humiliated and made to look a complete and utter fool by Mayweather. Probably the biggest idiot in the history of the planet, words can't describe how ******ed he is.
Enjoy your 0-1 record, BOY!

Originally posted by RJJ-94-02=GOAT View PostI see no point in Dubois facing those guys, It’d just end the same as his other fights. I’d like to see him in with more resilient fighters Jonathan Rice, Dave Allen, even a Fred Kassi type who might actually pose some sort of threat.

Originally posted by BigZ44 View PostYou're probably correct, but he faces the same problem that Joshua faced coming up, the level of guys that can actually take him rounds are probably too dangerous to actually put him in with at this point. I would be very weary of throwing him in with Kassi this early. That's why, if he's gonna be blowing guys out of the water in 2 rounds, have him fight every 6 weeks so he's still slowly accumulating rounds and appearances and gaining a fanbase with highlight reel KO's. Unfortunately there is a thin crop of experienced mid-level British HW's right now, no John McDermott's or Martin Rogan's for these young guys coming up the pipe and I don't think Hearn and The Rhino have any interest in facing Dubois. That's why, if I were Fish Eyes, I'd have Dubois fight Akinlade in February, Machaj in March and Nick Webb for the English Title in May. Then you can set him up for defense against guys like Lewison and Cornish in the Fall and he will be rolling into big fights by 2019.
You make a good point about how they’re aren’t any mid-level HW’s in Britain anymore, a Martin Rogan, John McDermott would be great opponent for him.
As for the fights I listed: I agree Dubois-Allen is unrealistic, Hearn and Warren rarely do business together and they wouldn’t do so for this type of fight, however I think the Jonathan Rice fight would be perfect, he’s already gone rounds with another elite prospect in Yoka so if Dubois could deal with him easily that would be a real statement.
The Lewison fight you suggesting is another good one down the road, if Iain actually fights again. Lewison is always dangerous early, I’d like to see that fightLast edited by RJJ-94-02=GOAT; 01-15-2018, 12:07 PM.
