ye totally agree, Baker will give him one or two problems and it will be interesting to see as time progresses how good Dallas is. But Baker can bang, although stamina is not the greatest.

What reward exactly, a shot at Vitali - it was a sad shell of a fighter that he beat.

And don't forget after Baker beat Williams he then lost in the semi's to a relative novice.

Tricky fight for Dallas and a good test.

A better reward than being brought in as an opponent for an up and coming prospect, at least a shot at an eliminator

What's the deal with Baker? If he whipped himself into reasonable shape he could make a noise at domestic level.

If he'd have won prizefighter he'd have probably got that.
But instead he scraped a win over Williams(who imo would have won by stoppage had the fight been any longer than 4 rounds) and was comprehensively beaten in his next fight by Coleman Barrett.

Can you really justify a British title eliminator off that ?, and by at least an eliminator it seems you feel he's deserving of more than that.
Do you think he should of been made British or Commonwealth mandatory ?

to be honest i was joking on my post,this is a fight too see if dallas can swim in the pool,& he's still wearing his armbands,im not sure if he will drowned against a seasoned but not dedicated pro,who to be fair does posses better ability imo.

Yeah I def think beating the current British champ is worthy of getting an eliminator, an depending on the queue you can justify having a voluntary against him. Yes Williams may be past his best, took the fight lightly and it was Prizefighter, but you get the hand that god gives you and Baker made the most of it on the night.

people are making Baker sound a lot better than he is, Williams is finished, ye good win on his record but if that was over 10 or 12 rounds Williams would have won. Baker was made to look silly by Coleman Barrett, a crusierweight.

I'm not trying to say Baker is the second coming of Ali, but by beating the British Champion, even in a 3 rounder, deserves more than to be brought in at short notice to be a sacrificial lamb
