Faccio:
"In my opinion Dunne did not want to come out for the eighth round and I think I should have won the fight because I was ready to continue."

Maybe had something to do with the three litres of blood he had lost, lad. Just a thought. Dunne had been beating him fairly well, although in fairness Faccio was starting to get into it.

But yeah paddymickey, I'll agree - five or less. Maybe three, **** it!

 

If i remember rightly Dunne wanted to fight on...

 

was i the only one expecthing this to be a Macklin/Lee story?

 

The cartoon has to be in it somewhere mate. Fecking class! I would say the cartoon on the front and with a bit of writing and not much else. Quality stuff

 

you look like a power puff girl in it!

which isnt a bad thing....

WHen i was in belfast i noticed that alot of the birds there have massive tits

Im thinking you could sell them on tight white t-shirts

maybe u could fight in magherfelt i hear it gets cold there later on in the year

 

Nevin! Jesus I used to hate sparring him. Eric donovan was also very tricky.

 

of course he did, Bernard wasn't sure of the rules.....he thought he was going to lose by stoppage(as he would have done under British rules at the time).
So what Faccio said was indeed poop.

Faccio starting getting into the fight a little bit immediately after the headclash, however as round 7 went on Bernard started to give him a real licking despite his claret covered face. Probably out of urgency as he may have felt he was about to be stopped.

If Acosta goes in there and boxes, Faccio will leave himself open and give Alexei the chance to land big shots and take him out. If Acosta goes in there and starts looking to take him out right from the start then he may encounter some problems. Once he keeps a cool head I don't think it's bold at all to predict he'll stop the Uruguayan within 5.

 

Did u do any sparring with phil Sutcliffe?wat was he like

 

Ward got Hooper (who he beat 6-1 in the World Youth finals) in the first round of the Youth Olympics.

Burnett got a Belarussian wild card, and I think he's been kept away from the Azerbaijani (who beat him in the WYouths final) until thew final.

Good luck boys :hi::happy

-------------------------------------------------------------
I can't recall Faccio giving Dunne any trouble in that fight at all until the clash of heads. Even after the clash of heads Dunne was way too good for him. Dunne was just going through the motions of taking steps back to recovery. If Dunne wanted too, I think he could have taken Faccio out earlier. Faccio is embarassing himself with comments like that. He got absoutely out boxed and out skilled and I would have more respect for him if he just admitted it was a 1 sided schooling:hat

 

Faccio definitely buzzed Dunne around round 6. Dunne was well on top but those whiskers of his were always a problem. 100% Faccio got to him at one stage

 

You're right BamBam, Faccio hurt Dunne in the sixth and some sitting around me were even sensing a stoppage if I recall.

 

Dunne always had difficulty making weight for superbantam-weight didnt he though.He started his career at featherweight so id say the weight difficultys had something to do with his suspect chin

Lee is down to face TBA two weeks after his fight with Walker. There is no way he fights twice in two weeks. It will be one or the other I reckon. If it's the other, hopefully it will be against a decent opponent.

 

I'm sure it didn't help but even if he fought at feather, his chin would still be poor. The difference would be insignificant imo.
