He was good tonight , the defence and head movement was so much better than normal and against such an accurate fighter too . That was the most exciting fight of Eastman's career btw .
Great fight, would have liked more uppercuts and lateral movement from Duddy. He's looking quite experienced though. Good showing!
Looked good fought hard but Pavlik will KILL him.:yep I like Duddy but its a terrible style matchup and when Eastmans stunning with a cracking uppercut? The Ghost will FINISH and Duddy's looking at a loss. I'd take two more fights on that level and then go Abraham or preferably Sturm. He better take his time with Pavlik.
well alot on these forums fought he would be outclassed by eastman,he proved them wrong with a very good performance,great chin,some very good inside work and a strong jab. he was caught a few times but walked straight through them,still needs to finish fights like he starts them with alot of movement,but he just gets caught up in a moment so much. just waiting for people to come on and say eastman was past it even though they said hed dominate duddy.
**** the ref, he scored 4 even rounds, and Eastman fought well. It was a clear Decision for Duddy:good
I have to take my hat off to Duddy on this win. I didn't think he'd do it. Eastman is one tough dude.
Perhaps some just dont look the right places. The majority of knowledgeable and WINNING Predictors here at ESB were all with Duddy. I had Duddy TKO 8 and got anxious after the 7th round knockdown. Ended up a decision because it was 10 rounds and Eastman truly tried. Eastman showed some holes with his right uppercut. on Duddy and Someone like Pavlik is a Tank compared to a garbage truck in Eastman.
Duddy did well, but he doesn't have the tools to win a world title. His chin is an asset but offensively he doesn't bring much the table. He outworked an ageing fighter who would probably have beaten him handy enough a couple of years ago. Still, well done to him - he'll make a few bucks even if he isn't a top notch fighter and he seems a good guy.
I am pretty confident that Duddy would win a fight with Sturm, he would give Abraham a very tough challenge and he would be KO'd by Pavlik but make it exciting while it lasts. All in all he is shaping up as one of the best MW's to watch, good chin, slugging style, and courageous.
