First I would like to point out I am a huge boxing fan but last night I made the grave mistake of stopping up last night to watch Daniel Dubois take on Trevor Bryan for the WBA "regular" heavyweight title which means ;-
"A Regular champion is a primary champion only if Super, Undisputed and Unified is vacant. A Unified champion is a primary champion only if Super is vacant. Not every Regular or Unified champion gets promoted to Super if it is vacant. Not every Regular champion gets to fight for the vacant Super title."
Utter load of bullocks
First the build up started with a 90 odd year old Don King giving a 30 minute press conference rambling that showed he's not all there. The fight venue looked like my old school sports hall 3/4 empty, Casino Miami holds 6500 but I bet there was about 650 there tops.
Then Trevor Bryan ? who the F**K is or was he ?. He's been fighting for 11 years and not once have I ever heard his name mentioned.
Bryan looked like a rabbit in the headlights fully aware that he was gonna get ko'ed at some point but was more about how it was gonna happen. Dubois went over there for no reason what so ever. There at least 10 UK fighters he could have fought over here and beat but he's listened to advisors who gave him the wrong advise.
No disrespect to CH4 but if you are a so called top 10 UK heavyweight then you should not be on CH4 fighting a back street bum no ones heard of in a make shift sports hall in America. With the time difference he fought Bryan at 7pm USA so I take it no under card and hardly prime time boxing.
For me it was an utter disgrace and embarrassing and one of the main reasons why UFC is light years ahead of boxing. Putting a 90 year old promoter in charge who's certainly not all there mentally was a disgrace and another cross against boxing v UFC.
I'm sorry but with advice and an opponent and promotion like that Daniel Dubois is destined to fail. If he thinks he got anything out of that he needs to give his head a wobble. Had I have been 20 year younger I would have given Bryan a run for his money. Dubois proud Dad was at the ringside but any decent Dad would have stopped his son from boarding the plane and making an utter t*t of himself.
Dubois was wrongly advised when taking on an unbeaten Joe Joyce and again last night, from one extreme to another.
The only person who got anything out of that shambolic event was Don (I look dead) King and CH4 from advertising mid rounds
