    Dude,he didn't actually say it.:D
    But he says it in another context every other week on HBO.
    ''It's exactly what I expected.Marquez is getting dominated by Diaz's pressure altough he is still landing clean shots but I do not know if he can do this for 12 rounds'':nut-FAIL

    Hope they refund the plane ticket money people are out. Imagine if you were going to come over from Ireland or fly in from California to see the fight and have a non refundable ticket. Guess I can see why Duddy wants to get loose from this guy!

    I think that when they started off selling duddy they used to go around all the irish bars putting up posters and marketing him really well.

    then after a while they got lazy and duddy just sold the tickets himself

    then they put on this show expecting tickets to sell themselves and they were sadly mistaken.

    Its a terrible shame as i was really looking forward to this card not just for wayne and andy, it had a wealth of irish talent on the undercard and its a real shame.

    in saying that duddys name didnt sell out the garden for the cotto/jennings fight so who knows?
