Dean Francis returns

Post by kevin »

Just had the pleasure of chatting with Dean Francis just hours ahead of his comeback fight tonight.

Dean will be campaigning at cruiserweight and is already looking for a shot at David Haye after a couple of warm up fights.

Will wait to see both guys next performances before calling for a potential match between the two. He says he feels natural at the weight and is strong in sparring, but the truth will come out in the later rounds of a real fight. Bonson is a good person to come back against, and should take him the distance (how many rounds is it set for?).

Also, didn't BN say Rob Norton's stoppage of Bonson was his first in a hundred? Can't really remember what was said, but I'm sure there was also a picture of it with Bonson huddled up on the ground. His boxrec record has the two stoppages. Some record he's got...

I wouldn't let him near Haye , did Dean not watch the Haye v Glenn Kelly fight, would be the same thing. A small guy coming up in weight against a guy working down in weight with a big punch

Haye would destroy him inside of a round.

It would be embarrassing.

Dean Francis should be aiming for a rematch with Barney, i thought he won the first fight even with one arm, let's hope his shoulder can hold out this time. As for Bonson i think his other stoppage loss was on cuts :TU:
