Jon-Lewis Dickinson v David Dolan - British CW title

[turbostar]

On Feb 15, poor poor fight. Dickinson easily beat Dolan over 10 rounds in July 2011 and Dolan has looked well past his best for a while now so what's the point of this?

Would have liked to see China Clarke or Neil Dawson get this fight.

Franks not got much money and this won't cost a lot to make, Loaded won't last long with Main events like this

[Darcy Delaney]

so beating tayar mehmed and simon cover both over 4 rounds gets dolan a british title ? whats that all about why have the board let this fight happen dolan does not deserve this fight yet ?

[TheCobra]

Yep it's probably economics, Dolan probably comes dirt cheap and will jump at the chance of another title shot. Totally undeserved though, sad really, I know pickings are fairly slim at Cruiserweight but they could have done a lot better than this.

[Old bones Ian]

Is China Clarke any good? not seen anything of him.

[rio]

Spoke to one of dickinson former opponents the other day. Chris Burton said hes making a comeback in april at heavyweight thankfully. Basically said what everyone though, the cut sapped his strengh and his legs buckled when he was hit by a dickinson jab.

For the northeast great fight and dolan has done his bit beaten close by norton and then ripped with a draw the Secound time And no Dickinson didn't beat him easy over ten rounds was nothing in it till the 7 round watch Dave in the gym he knows its his last chance Dickinson s the man who s on form so going to hard for Dave

Local(ish) derby though and it is only a a mandatory, seen worse.

Aint saw anything of Dolan since the Norton fights but he was unlucky especially the 2nd one thought he nicked it.

[the truth]

Alot of people thought Dolan actually beat Dickinson last time from what I've heard of ppl but Dickinson has a big promoter behind him Dolan doesn't , IMHO Dolan missed the boat after he won commonwealth gold, could of gone further if He'd turned over then

This is a Massive fight for the North East a real local Derby ,The last fight was very close and was great fight to watch,Dolan really up for this fight ....North east Bragging writes at stake.

He sounds a bit fragile

[turbostar]

Is China Clarke any good? not seen anything of him.

He comfortably beat Mitchell Balker, who ran Askin close before a poor stoppage and beat Richard Turba, who beat Dickinson. Balker also won the NY Golden Gloves.
He also stopped Paul David who is a decent fighter although too small for CW.

[funso banjo baby]

the divison is in its usual god-awful state

but i dont really see why this is such a bad rematch

Dickinson is the best out there...and Dolan is a top contender...what more can you do

Dawson is hardly the most active fighter...nobody else has any more worthy credentials

whats needed is for Dickinson to grab the title and defend it

the division (as always) just needs stability at the top

and Dickinson is a decent fighter.

[magnus]

Agree with the last few posts. Nothing wrong with this as a voluntary (which I think it is?).

I was reporting at ringside for that fight and it was close. A lot of the rounds were close and there was no way in the world Dickinson won 'easily'. Both fighters thought it was close.

I'll be there mate and I'll drag a few mates along. Should be a cracker.

[TheCobra]

Yeh I didn't realise this was a North East derby so I guess with that angle it looks like a more decent scrap and if it pulls a crowd then that's the aim of the game! Also yeh i do agree about Dolan, i remember thinking he'd beat Norton in one of those fights, absolute stinkfests though, Norton was such a bad champion.

Phill anychance I can get on the bill ha

[clubberlang]

The cruiserweight division really sucks ar*se, for years this was one of our go to divisions (think Nelson, Thompson, Enzo & Haye) now its pitiful, honestly no wonder Mark Prince is making a comeback, I’m surprised Sammy Reeson isn’t dusting off the gloves.

As for the Dolan vs Dickinson, this is a poor fight, Dolans only chance is if Dickinson suffers another injury.

[Wrists]

It's not a poor fight, its a decent scrap between the champion and a top 5/6 contender.

Dickinson is a level above Dolan and will win more comfortably this time.

I think only Stephen Simmons has a chance at domestic level of beating JLD

[the truth]

Simmons & Danny price are prob the only two with a chance of beating Dickinson at domestic level, not including olafabi as hes a world class operator,Dolan will give it a go though

Phill anychance I can get on the bill ha

Mick not another comeback you after This will surprise a few people Dolan and Dickinson will be a great scrap and a big fight for the North East and the fact Its a derby on the pitch and in the ring in the same week will make it very interesting up here

Why do you think they are the only Cruiserweight's domestically that have a chance of beating JLD ? Both names are very limited & would run out of ideas IMO like alot of other fighters previously raved about who have come unstuck when they are put on the back foot or met head on, or don't get there own way I.e Tony Conquest, Askins, etc. it's only my opinion but style wise & who's got the best attributes to beat JLD I think Dawson, Keane or Clarke have the most chance in the division.

Iv had more come back s than back to the future only jokin boss the way Dave s lookin in the gym he knows this is his last chance I think it will make a great fight and its a great fight for the northwest once again
