    There has been a lot of talk about a possible Pavlik/Duddy fight this past week. I've only seen Duddy once, and that was against Yori Boy Campus. He seemed to struggle against Yori boy. One judge had Duddy ahead by only 2 points, and that's pretty much how I remember it. Duddy just squeaked by. The fight was at MSG. Yori Boy might have got the nod in a less partisan venue. So, has Duddy improved since the Campus fight. If not, sending him in against "The Ghost" is a really bad idea no matter how big of pay day the promoters might get!

    Duddy looked no better his last fight but Don Turner had just joined the team then.Turner says Duddy has the potential to get much better so now with much more time to work with Turner I would hope to see noticeable improvement for his next fight

    That's not true, his head moves a lot, that is, as a result of all the punches he takes (bad joke). I'm a Duddy fan but I don't like Turner's chances of changing him, he seems too set in his ways.

    I thought it was a good joke, but it could have been phrased better.

    Pavlik will KO Duddy easily.. I like Duddy and all but if he cant beat an old ass Yory Boy or that dude from the Contender convincinly then there is no way in hell he should be in the ring with Pavlik
