The personal issues are just a side show to this situation. I think the REAL issue is this....The time has come for Dale White to step up to the plate and to match up to the hype that surrounds him. Maybe in Dean James they see the guy who will expose that hype.

I can't ever recall a fight where Dale White has set the world a light. But, here's the chance to prove it. Dad & lad take the world on! Let's see the hype backed up with the skill, the taking apart of Deane James the two fingers up to the MT world from the maverick Dean White & Dale White..

A fathers love is a fathers love and he will do anything he can to protect his son and Dean has some very valid points on whos a knob and whos not. Some of them make my list to haha. But ALL promoters pluck feathers of people to make a profit on their investment. If Dale has fought in Thailand then he's fought and bet on. That's the ultimate plucking feathers off. But he'll get probably the best pay day of his life. Is that plucking feathers off the punters? No, it's him making money from his investment in the sport just like a promoter

Feathers aside all the distraction tactics are raising questions how good do they really believe Dale is? I have £500 here that says not has good as Dean James. That's not because I think he's rubbish, far from it but the fact there's some nervousness in the camp coming out through aggression and maverick style behavior. Everyone is their own man and women Dean isn't unique.

I think he also knows the only promoters that could put it on are Dan & Daz Morris. By offering it to other promoters it looks like the fights wanted. But in my opinion thats because they know nobody will take it.

If it was my son and I wanted to prove he was the best I'd work through the politics, agree the judges, the weight, the purse, the bonus and get it on. Because I'd want to see my son as the top man and get the recognition for the years of sacrafice. No better show than one this big. On a show this size theres no where to hide though and that maybe the problem lies there. It's full exposure of all strengths and all weaknesses.

I don't think the fight is any bigger than any of the others on the show and I think Harrisson V Khan & Watson V Wakeling are far bigger fights out there that would wet the appetite far more

I've promised myself not to come back on and read replies to this post. So, if u have something to say direct to the Ax board not me. I won't be here haha
