    tbh after Dunne's last fight he might be just as damaged as Vasquez

    Id love to see it happen lets hope that Dunne can beat Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym and then hopefully get a fite with Vasquez even though id say he would probably lose it would be an entertaining fite and easily his best payday

    I think you might be exaggerating a bit there Philla. That was 1 tough fight compared to Vasquez' 3 wars...that's quite a difference.
    If this fight is made at 126 I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Dunne beats Vasquez, I'm probably in a minority but I reckon Dunne's poor punch resistance is down to him being weight drained so the move up will benefit him in that regard and his power will improve aswell. In his early fights he was known as a very hard puncher which is something not a lot of people realise, even Vasquez himself remembers Dunne's power from their sparring days in the Wild Card Gym.

    I know Vazquez wants this fight in ireland but i feel Peters will want it in Las Vegas

    make it more accessible for american TV monday

    alot of people seem to think Dunne can sell out the Garden right now but thats simply not true unfortunately :(

    Dunne vs. Izzy will be a good fight... Tho I think the Thailander will derail Dunne's plans...

    The last time I saw a Mexican fight an Irishman, I was sitting there hoping that Wayne McCullough's corner would stop the fight as Oscar Larios was just battering him. I hated seeing that fight. I'd hope to see a more competitive fight is these two were to go at it somewhere down the line.

    If Dunne is to fight Vasquez I think it would be better for Dunne to do this fight in the US. Dont get me wrong Peters has worked wonders in getting him to were he is now but for Dunne to fight the bigger names he has to go back to the US and get his name out there again. A win or a decent prefromace from Dunne there and he will be remember for that fight and could get some very good pay days after that fight.

    I would love to see Dunne fight Vasquez in Vegas, it would be a great occasion for Irish boxing and it would be a great long weekend in Vegas.:thumbsup

    Yo dont even know his name shows how much you know, Dunne has too much heart and in Ireland i can see him KOing him quite easily in the mid rounds

    Bet you only got that from my earlier post, but i maintain that Dunne will KO him, then hopefully fite Vasquez cos i dont know about you id rather fite one of the divisions top fiters rather than Munroe who is a good fiter, however this would be considered a step back by Dunne at this stage unless Munroe keeps on imporving so it may still happen at sum stage in the future but i cant see it happening any time soon

    I dont see Bernard KO'ing him

    Bernard will most likely box from the outside against the smaller man and be very elusive

    Lets not forget in t he cordoba fight dunne was the smaller man so had to fight inside

    Dunne took some great shots from Cordoba and kept going. Explain that.
