Bouncing himself from a fight with Muhammad Lawal August 28 for undisclosed reasons, Five Ounces of Pain reports that Don Frye has agreed to face promising heavyweight Dave Herman at Shark Fights 6 in Amarillo, Texas on September 12.
This space’s fondness for aging veterans taking on younger, faster fighters is well-documented at this point. (Pithy version: it sucks.) The 44-year-old Frye should be fighting osteoporosis, not a 6’5”, 24-year-old with ten first-round stoppages to his credit. Tough, old and stubborn is a bad combination.
