Ive seen a few of Dunnes fights but would like to know peoples opinions on Cordoba as I havent seen any of him.
I feel pretty bad for Dunne. Just thinking of what Cordoba will do to him... It's going to be criminal... IT's too bad really cuz even though Cordoba is an unknown commodity to the casual fans, He's really one the best at 122, if not the best..
Cordoba is severely underrated and should come out with a dominant win. Cordoba's every bit as good as the top dogs at 122. He's arguably never lost in his career, with a win over Caballero, a close points loss to Poonsawat in Thailand (I don't know of anyone who's seen this fight, but it's reasonable to infer that the judges favored the hometown champ in the scoring) and two draws to Sidorenko in Germany that most people I know think Cordoba won, plus he's still only 24. Another tall and awkward Panamanian with decent fundamentals and good power. His chin has question marks though.
dunne would match anyone at 122 for skills if not better but unfortunatley his chin has serious question marks and is also very skinny at the weight not much muscle . im goin the fight on sat and hope he wins but i think it might be too much for him
I'll be there, Dunne needs the performance of his life, No one's backing him so there's less pressure, Hope he can pull this off.
It'd be great if Dunne could pull it off but I'm not too convinced. Cordoba is a very formidable opponent. It's a pity that he hasn't got much power as he's some very good skills. The fact that he can't really get his opponents respect due to a lack of power is a massive negative. Also his questionable chin means that even when he's outboxing his opponent he can never truly relax. Have to admit he used to really annoy me and I was delighted he got knocked out but since his defeat the hype has diminished and I find myself really rooting for him.
I really hope he can put in a decent performance and no matter what the outcome, go on to take that muppet Monroe's Euro title - unlikely if he wins on Saturday, but a valiant defeat and 'Two-Tone' is his. I'll certainly be there rooting for Dunne. I watched Cordoba train the other day and he looks in great shape, pretty cool customer I might add, and kind of resembles Marlo from the Wire. Bad sign
A free leagal stream of the fight will be available here http://www.rte.ie/sport/webcastschedule.html from 21:00 Irish time Saturday night, it will also include the undercard of Andy Lee v Alexander Sipos, Andrew Murray v Daniel Rasilla etc. I'm favouring Cordoba by late stoppage here, would love to be wrong.
