ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Josh Popper admits he really didn’t want to fight Dillon Pumphrey. It was a fight he was more or less backed into taking, after several other opponents turned down the four-round heavyweight fight this past Saturday at Tropicana Casino. Pumphrey, a rotund man of 330lbs from West Virginia, represented a step backwards in competition, but Popper found the motivation to make the most of a bad situation when Pumphrey couldn’t help but run his mouth at the weigh-in. While Popper says he didn’t even understand what he was saying, when the bell rang, he was ready to make him swallow his words, whatever they may have been.
