Who Is The Best Superbantam in Europe?

I presume you mean this as a stylistic reference only?

 

Turned him over if he'd not been nailed? I'm surprised to hear something like that from you, jeff.

I think he'd always get nailed, and its clear his chin isn't up to the task. It's an Amir Khan scenario all over again, you can have all the moves but if your chin isn't that good you ain't better, period. I'm sure even Munroe who is not a huge hitter, but with his size he'd give himself a big chance of starching Dunne.

 

Of course... come on Paddy

 

??? What do you mean mate.....

 

I don't understand that comment. "He would have turned him over if he hadn't been nailed". Isn't that the same for Amir Khan against Prescott?

Dunne will always get nailed, he ain't Sweet Pea. And when he does his chin ain't good enough against that type of puncher.

 

dunne would box the ears off munroe all night . i was at munroes last fight in dcu and to be honest he struggeld with a complete bum . until trotta hurt his hand . dunne will pick up a strap . he has only been knocked out once and he was caught cold that night first 30 seconds of the fight . freddie roach was his trainer for 17 fights and he was was signed to sugar ray leonard . dunne is not avoiding him . there is no point in fighting munroe for peanuts in britian when the could make 3/4 times the amount in dublin !!!

 

Khans visits to the canvas have been much more frequent then Dunnes.. Dunne suffwered one other knockdown. Fighters get caught cold. Look at Kalambay- Nunn, Hale-Ryan, Loughran-Lopez.... it doesn't always mean they've got a wonky beard.

 

In all respect to Dunne, he's never shown himself to be a defensive technician anything close to the quality of Kalambay regardless of chins. That was a complete fluke IMO. Kalambay's whiskers were already more than proven at world class level, hell ATG level prior to Nunn's lottery win that should have been rematched.

The best I can say about Dunne's was it was unproven until he fought the biggest puncher of his career, and proceeded to get knocked out. Since then its unproven again, because the guys he's facing aren't as great as they are billed. I have my suspicions.

 

Apparently (boxing magazine) Dunne will be fighting Cabellero in Ireland.

Seeing what Cabellero did in Molitor's hometown I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear too much about Dunne aymore

 

Sorry mate, alot of muppets around recently. Just had to check.

 

he didnt even hurt his hand 2 b honest well what i seen of him post fight and in the hotel, he was tryin to blow munroe out in a few rounds then quit, wasnt 1 of munroes best nights imo an he struggled to make the weight, had to skip it off

 

Caballero will stop Dunne. Of that I have no doubt whatsoever. Being a fan of his I don't like saying it but unfortunately it is true. Dunne - Molitor is a nice even match IMO. After seeing Caballero crush (and albeit nervous) Molitor I'd say Cabellero stops Dunne around Rnd 6

EDIT

Caballlero is scheduled to fight in March already so I doubt it's true

 

Yep if Dunne had a bit of power he would be World Class, Great Little fighter is Bernard, but that Defeat against Martinez was bad and i think he got severely wobbled at the end of the Voronin fight as well so there are a few questions about his chin.


They should seriously get Munroe and Dunne together i think that's the most logical fight in the division right now.


After that Dunne should rematch Martinez, but Peters is hinting at a World Title shot somewhere down the line so gaining revenge over Martinez may have to wait.

 

i was in america when dunne fought martinez and couldnt believe it.

i have seen martinez fight twice in person since and he is nowhere near munroe how ever. I think dunne was defo caught cold and if they fight again i can see dunne staying away from the bombs and winning a UD. I also see him taking Munroe UD but it will probably never happen.

 

If Monshipour is as good as he was when he retired 2(+) years ago then he wipes the floor with everyone else. The guy is a machine which just couldn't be touched at European level.

I think Dunne would beat Munroe, I haven't been very impressed by Munroe since he won the title, he's been making hard work of very poor opposition and is starting extremely slowly in fights giving rounds away. I reckon he could be badly tight at the weight aswell.

Other than that we have Maludrottu, Martinez, Hunter, and emerging fighters such as Matthew Marsh, Jeremy Parodi, Zsolt Bedak.
Just below that you've the likes of Mark Moran and Gary Davies(Paulie Hyland would get a mention if he didn't move down to Bantam), and Reidar Walstad.

There are plenty of British prospects at the weight, Scott Quigg possibly looking like the best of them, but he was caught and floored in one of his early fights.


Munroe will beat Martinez easily in a stinker, and that should remove Martinez from the fray for a while, he may move up to Featherweight.
Dunne's team will continue looking for a World title shot at Featherweight while really much preferring a match up with Munroe down at Super-Bantamweight.

Maludrottu will be the next mandatory no matter who he fights.
Monshipour could go any way.

Maloney will keep to the path of least resistance with Munroe, Hunter will never fully get back into the picture, and the rest bar maybe Bedak won't make the breakthrough needed.
