    Duddy has split with his management team - he was frustrated that they couldn't get him any big fights, so this fight may be in jeopardy.

    It is an interesting matchup though.Duddy is tested but limited.Hearns would appear to be the better boxer but still a bit green.

    Hearns is 29 years old , not a baby, if he is green than he will stay green. He had a total crappy opposition, i cant see why anyone would think he can beat Duddy?

    I am so not into Hearns even his daddy was great.

    Well I'm reasonably sure his dad in his prime would have stopped Duddy.

    Hearns is ok but will get starched when he will fight a big puncher...

    I think Hearns will box him to a decision win. I think he'll look good aswel, I dont rate Duddy at all.

    Hearns is alright. Duddy is alright. Scary thing is I could see this fight being some sort of title fight eliminator BS stuff.

    Duddy would probably KO Hearns if he doesn't cut.

    Hearns via wide UD. Duddy is very hitable. :-(

    I think Duddy's going to kick his ass.

    Judging by the Ronald Hearns fights I've seen, I don't think he has what it takes to win belts and beat decent opposition (like duddy)...


    However, maybe hearns has just been fighting to the level of competition? We will see how this holds up as he faces better and better competition.
