Fans are split in Ireland - casuals favouring Duddy, hardcore behind Lee. http://boxing-ireland.com/20110113_andy_lee_john_duddy_war_2.html
Should be good looking forward to it .My guess is it'll be brutal probably Duddy taking most the punishment and showing an iron chin .Interesting to see if Lee will stop him .I got Lee late tko or decision.

in my eyes there both somewhat failed fighters that were touted for greatness but fell to ****, lee's the one with the obvious talent so i'd go for him duddys been beaten by journeyman fighters he just has a big heart
Yep, looking forward to this one. has the makings of a very good fight and a great occasion for Irish boxing.
I think Lee will probably win this one but he needs to pace himself because there is a chance he won't be able to put Duddy away. Duddy's heart comes into play later on if Lee makes the same old mistakes. But initially Lee should have too much for him.
jus a shame its not in ireland i know its great having the 2 of dem fight on a big undercard and i tink HBO will show it but it wud have been massive if dey done it over here
Its a shame could have filled Crocke Park this instead it will be in front of about 23 people in a casino in America
"Emanuel Steward, legendary Kronk boxing icon, firmly believes the all-Irish war between Andy Lee, 24-1 (KO 18), and John Duddy, 29-2 (KO 18), will be an Irish blockbuster event that will go down in Irish boxing history as the greatest fight ever to happen since Irish prize fighters Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney fought in the ‘Battle of the Long Count’ world title clash on September 22, 1927 at Soldier Field, Chicago, IL." Robs gonna love that one!!!
Lee should win on points or late stoppage,be impressive if he stops duddy,should have been in the 02 in Dublin,would have got a decent crowd..
