    Harsh. But true.

      Frank sounds a bit skittish, doesn't he? I love nothing more than a good British cat fight. I simply love when these guys go at each other like hated enemies. You don't see much of that in our American promoters except for Bob.

        Hah. Spot on. Frank needs to stop padding his prospect boxers records with cabbies and plumbers, all whilst slipping some money to the WBO to get them up the rankings in doing so.. it makes literally no sense, how do u go up the rankings whilst beating absolutely no one above you and some how end up as no.2... corruption at its finest. Once they get there good ole fish eyes randomly throws them in to the deep end as he did with yarde v kov... n that ship sank.. n the 1st real step up at domestic level only and Dubois caved... what does he expect? You cant skip experience... u cant just gas the fighter up into believing he is the second coming of a young mike tyson without actually pittin him with guys who are going to actually fight back. He was mentally weak and the moment his trainer uttered the words "This is it... this is the fight game"... i knew there and then he aint mentally built to dig down and fight... no trainer should ever have to say that to his boxer. If he does.. then he already knows you aint got the heart and need to be told to stay motivated

            Never understood the Yarde thing, instead of making the guy fight at British, commonwealth and European levels etc he literally didn’t. Even though Kov was fading he still had too much experience for Yarde in the end, because just like DDD the jump proved to be too much. And yes the WBO and Warren have been working hand in hand for ages, getting his boxers ranked even though they haven’t beaten anyone ranked by the WBO.

Saying there isn’t any mandatory anymore? And how they should never had taken the risk of fighting Povetkin etc.... You got to suck it up son (Jimmy Tibbs voice).
              Warren also trolled AJ calling him chinny and not going to be a big draw anymore , Hearn didn’t even say much he actually said he didn’t know the extent of the injury in the actual interview.

                Yeah the seeds of doubt coming from Hearn should have been entirely expected. Yet good old fish eyes bites like a mosquito haha

                  Wasn’t he in the GB squad at some stage? Surely he must have got some good amateur experience there.

                  It’s just that Joyce was a decorated amateur

                    I don't find it all that hard to believe at all. Joyce has very heavy hands and was landing that jab more than 747s at Heathrow.

                    When you get swelling to the severity that Dubois had, it usually indicates something is broken.
                    Well what about Andre Berto who had TWO SWOLLEN EYES that looked to be at least as severe as the swelling Dubois had? LOL..SMDH

                      A lot of people seem HAPPY that Dubois failed which is beyond pathetic actually
