RIP dean. My friend ❤️

Starie had a bad habit of pulling his head up in the air when he jabbed. That is a dangerous mistake against someone who can punch like Francis.

Great upload Dave. Any chance of Dean Francis v Tony Oakey? That was a classic.

[@davidkirkwood9537]

Thanks Rob. Yes I will upload the Oakey fight, just working my way up to it in career order.

God bless you dean.

Starie was too cocky in this fight. Underestimated Francis and thought it would be an easy nights work. Came unstuck when Francis caught him. A good lesson for him.
