DEAN FRANCIS COMEBACK

[wingcommander]

Did anyone see Deano making his comeback on Saturday at Weston-super-Mare. He looked awesome. KO'd Hastings Rasani with a peach of a left hook in round 2. He's just had surgery on his right shoulder which forced him to retire several years ago - now he looks back to his best and wants a shot at the British light heavyweight title.

Looks like a decent site that mate

I hope things work out for Francis, it was horrible watching him get beaten by Matthew Barney, two hands and he would have wiped the floor with him. From what I remember he was given a bit of a bum steer with regards to his injury, told to knock it in the head when there were other avenues to explore. robbed him of alot of ring time.

Yes I think Dean could have kept going if he had had the right operation several years ago. But it seems the problem is fixed now so he must make up for lost time. He's going to stay in training in the hope of picking up a title fight at short notice if anyone drops out anywhere ! Seems he'll concentrate on being a light-heavyweight from now on.
