Being a journeyman is a dangerous game, if you can't look after yourself when you step up in class you get hurt.

Maybe Kevin McBride can come out of retirement and we can have a four man tournament with Belshaw, Dallas and Larry O for the inaugural Kellie Maloney former future heavyweight champions title????

Knocked out again (by Adam Machaj in 2), and apparently he arrived at the venue just 20 minutes before the fight. He's going down hard and getting seriously rocked in these fights; it's not like he's a crafty journeyman who loses constantly, but avoids taking many damaging shots.

Please retire Tom, and maybe the board should have a look soon. His body is reacting horribly to punches and he can't defend himself effectively....

I concur, he's 2-9 for the last six years and has lost all but one by stoppage, the situation really shouldn't be allowed to persist for too much longer...

He has no interest in fighting anymore. He can get himself into shape and I know he trains hard but ultimately when it comes down to it he just don't want it. The BBBoC need to put him out of his misery.

I don't think any boxing fan enjoys seeing Dallas getting consistently knocked out.

Thought BN pleading with him to call it a day was classy from Lillis and Bunce.

They rightfully took away Danny Williams license so they should do the same here

Dallas is getting knocked out too much but doesn't seem really hurt, he should quit but there must be a market for heavyweight journeyman ion the UK now as the scene is exploding. maybe someone like Carl Spencer could fulfil that role better than Dallas.

good luck to him, i remember price sparked him bad

How much does he earn from fights like these ?

Probs no more than 3K I'd think

You reckon ? I was thinking he'd be lucky to get 1K but I am totally guessing.

Even assuming it is 3K, after he's paid his trainer, expenses, tax etc he's probably not clearing more than 2K.

Hard life.

Looks like he was already on his way down there

Did Tom get interviewed after? If so, does anyone have a link please?

I Imagine if you adopt an Essex accent, and put a
Ladle sized spoonful of thick porridge in your mouth and tried to talk.... you would get the same effect

Glad I made you laugh mate! Price and especially Dallas should've retired before they went pro though!

Dubois should put Dallas into retirement at the Copperbox on Billy Joes undercard...

should hope he'd be paid more getting sparked by Dubois at the Copperbox than he did getting ko'd in Bolton on Friday night...

Even Charles Martin turned him into a stiffened mute in the first round. If they keep feeding him to people far better than him, he might regret it one day.

at the start of his career I swore he would be world level....I cant believe how poor his career was especially the shellacking from a pathetic Charles martin and the rest of the beatings..ultimately a lack of punch, chin strength and confidence and organisation as I believe he carried on working on the building sites

Fighting Dave Allen on Saturday.

I don't know about fighting on Saturday - more like trying to survive more than 2 minutes is my guess.

Tom now ranked 35th out of 39 UK heavyweights....he isn't ahead of anyone who has more than a single win.

I can never understand why someone wants to be continually starched and ironed out for a grand or two.

I understand journeymen, but they generally don't get flattened every fight they have.
