Rather see Skelton vs Larry O for English title.

26 year old vs 45 year old man = extremely embarassing for a 26 year old man to be outeverythinged, even outsped! Amazing stuff. As I said, Dallas is either total gash or just head all wrong.

The trainers should have been asking Dallas what the hell was going on, if I was his trainer I would have been blasting him. For whatever reason Dallas was all wrong tonight, I don't know whether he has just been massively found out ability-wise or whether he has some issues in his personal life as his head just wasn't in it. Weird really.
yeah he didnt even seem to try. Its not like you couldnt see right hands coming he was lacking basic defence.

"I'm tired", 26 year old man after 3 rounds. Embarassing.

Dallas reminds of Scott Belshaw. Belshaw got a seeing to off Fury and has gone downhill- Dallas got a seeing to off Price and now look at him.

Worth noting Page got to Dallas first...and Peret got to Belshaw...two journeymen saw them off...then two guys stopped them...and then they were never the same

I guess it really does expose the level of tripe that Maloney feeds them in their early fights.

Yep.
Perhaps McDermott knocking him out cold in sparring played a part too.

Price has had the same rubbish. I think he has a certain pathway for his heavyweights that builds up then he lets them swim or sink. Depends on the talent of the boxer.

Just another big fat useless heavyweight. Remember Povetkin knackered last week? This era of coming in as heavy as possible has resulted in some ungodly mauls. It was like watching Skelton battering a night club bouncer.
Dallas should go throw his weight around on the doors, he's no boxer. Imagine what the Bear would have done to Dallas 10 years ago - it would have been horrific!

I honestly thought Dallas was lacking in confidence before the price fight and nothing's changed. You ain't going very far in boxing without confidence.

it was clear from way back that dallas was not very good and nowhere near the level of skelton.
i said that Howe could beat him and im sticking to that too

2 weeks before the Price fight so I was told. McDermott alluded to it on a Ringside interview too.

Its a shame to be proven right with Dallas as i said he would go no where,Skelton looks to be back in the title mix again now at 45
