im just out of my scratcher...i wont sleep 2nite...but that was some weekend of boxing....the seniors...then duddy..cotto..pavlik... anyway...i get ur point ardy that duddy might b looking 2 his bank balance as inspiration 2 fight pavlik....i think he should take him on because he has a chance of winning...john has a never give up way with him that will give any1 trouble...so **** it why shouldnt he take on pavlik:good
Well lads did john look good last night??was working at the time and missed it,sickened,just got back in time for the pavlik/rubio, rubio looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights and was afraid to throw!!was awful,and he actually had pavlik a little stunned toward the end of the 6th when he stood mid ring and let his hands go, i was ****in shoutin at the tele he was awful frustratin...from what i see pavlik is no great shakes,no real head/foot movement was just standin in their throwin bombs at will against a guy who was beaten before he got in the ring.With another couple oftune up's i think its lee,not duddy like everyone is talkin about,that should get a shot, he could take pavlik to school.
Duddy looked good last night, looked different in style to previous fights boxed clever although he got a scare in the last. Not ready for pavlik yet. I'd like to see him fight hearns jr. Shame the criticism duddy gets on the boards here and people calling for his exposure and saying he's a joke with limited abilitys.
duddy looked ok, i think pavliks range and size will be too much for john, the fight aint a foregone conclusion though as i dont rate pavlik that highly and john can cause some problems when he gets in range as rubio done last night, it will be good to see if the fight gets made, imagine we could have dunne and duddy as world champs by the end of the year
That kind of thing stems from envy cos Duddy is such a popular fighter in the US, it's true that he gets a lot more hype and attention than maybe he should because of his popularity but that in no way makes him limited or a joke imo.He is just as good or better than most fighters in his devision bar Pavlik and Abraham.You're always gonna get your assholes talking about Duddy getting "exposed" even when he has shown that he is capable of a lot more than just brawling, just ignore those clowns!
i would like to see lee against the david lopez-kofi jantuah winner or maybe the european champ gevor. Anyone have any new's on sweeney? will his next fight on march 20th be broadcast in ireland? Has egan got a tv deal yet?

Thanks for that hitman, keeping busy with tough opponents can only help. Any one [ podge namely] any news on the Cubans Or news on Rogie [Cormac, Paddy or Ardy chiefly]. No but seriously this is another big week. Rogie is the underdog, but sure he always is.:deal
no probs marty...ive said before that rogan is from west belfast...and is very popular in this part of the city...as far as im led to believe a fair amount is traveling over to cheer him on...good luck to the big man
