    funny you should mention that! I asked Rogie if he would fight on one of Egans shows in the near future and he said he would love to. so aslong as warren doesnt have any issues it might be an idea...

    Good news for Duddy. Its about time he started fighting again.:yep

    And there could be a bigger fight between Egan and Peters, if Dunne decides to jump promotional wagons.:lol:

    I'd be surprised if Dunne did a jump over to Egan. However, Peters really put him on the back burner after the Martinez loss. I know it was a setback but Peters nearly put him out in the cold so if Dunne feels he isn't doing enough at the minute then who knows.

    One thing I think everyone will realise when they look back on Dunne's career when he retires is that he hasn't been quite as active as he should be at this stage in his career. He's fought 4 times in 18 months since Martinez. Thats just not enough. If you are a belt holder then you can afford to fight once every 3-4 months but if you are on the fringes you need to be more active and lay down some markers.

    Egan has obviously gotten wind of the previous plan to get Leuvano over for March. Must have sensed a chance to steal a piece of the action with Dunne late in the day. He'd really need to work on his stamina and make sure he stayed on his bike and boxed from the outside to have a chance v Cruz
