Shame for Francis, i remember when he did over Cornelius Carr he looked the business, bad injury on his right shoulder i suppose and he still beat Barney from what i saw with one arm. My right shoulder always dislocates really easily so i know his pain.

All I know is that he won by stoppage in the 7th. I am speaking ti Jane Couch soon so will ask her as she was also fighting on the bill

I did leave a message for Dean but he hasn't replied as yet

Not a bad win as Rasani has been improving, Francis is now up at Cruiserweight and although he seems to have been around for ages i think he is only early thirties? Could be wrong though.

So he's not ancient then and should be relatively fresh after all his inactivity, of course it's all providing his shoulder holds out.

From what I know Dean will never get the shoulder back to 100%.
Ever since it popped out against Undra White (I think) it has not been the same. A damn shame as he could have been a great domestic threat to Calzaghe.
It was a disgrace that Sanigar let him fight Barney. I know Dean nearly won but he could only use the one arm that night and it appeared that he had entered the ring with the injury. How the hell the BBBC let it go in the first place and then let it continue is beyond me.
Anyway good luck Dean Francis. Hope the shoulder holds out. :TU:

I really liked Dean, thought he was a very good boxer. Remember the fight with Barney. I thought he won. Hope his shoulder holds out, but I doubt it. If it does a fight with David Haye would be good.

Good for the public....maybe not too good for Dean. Haye is a massive, powerfull young Cruiserweight. Dean is a one armed, ageing, blown up super middlewieght. Rather him than me. :TU:
