think we will all be trying our best to get over to the states for that one,it looks a fantastic card,and a great night for irish boxing on the undercard.i believe lee will knockout eastman if that is who he fights in feb in msg.duddy will KO munoz in the mid rounds and go on to have one more fight before challenging pavlik and becoming the new middleweight king. afterwards,andy lee will say he can take duddy any time,by which a grudge championship fight will be set up for croke park in spring 2008 infront of 80000 irishmen, with the undercard featuring paul mccloskey defending his ebu belt in a rematch against lyons,at the bottom of the card, it will include bernard dunne fighting for the irish super bantamweight title against a newly turned pro with a record of 4-0. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl i do think duddy will beat pavlik though,i know pavlik has dynamite in each of his hands,but i believe we will see pavlik underestimating duddy and duddy putting in the performance of his life!
Sounds right unfortunately. they are so afraid of losing the 0 in the lost column. You can ruin a fighters confidence like this. fights like this aren't helping him prepare for Pavlic. Wonder what would have happened if he had stayed in "deeper water" right after Campas. I just saw Yuri Forman win a decision over Tsurkian on cable last night. Forman boxes nice, good jab, Tsurkian, agressive but neither one looked like world beaters. Would love to see Moore in with either one. Hope he can really step it up this year. Wonder if Macklin would ever consider fighting over here(states). Also Craig McEwan looking good for the Scottish. Cheers!
The thing is Duddy has great potential, and there is no need to protect him. I'm pretty confident when he does meet Pavlik, he will cause an upset.
Son Regan travelled internationally with Da Silva. Regan scored a No2 world amateur ranking at L/Heavyweight in 1997.
Had 3 fights Ardy, won em all but did terrible damage to his left hand and hasn't boxed since but makes money out of corporate boxing.
You must be very proud of him!. Did he ever enter the Commonwealth Games. or qualify for the Olympics. He must have did well in the World championships to get such a high ranking.
For those of you critisizing Duddy's opponents the plan is to fight Munoz and have one more fight before Pavlik . That fight is expected to be for the European title against Sebastian Sylvester , which if it comes of would be more than enough of a test for Duddy to deserve his shot should he win . Anyone got a prediction on when Henry Coyle will make it out of the 1st round in one of his fights ? Duddy's been changed back to United Kingdom by Boxrec btw :roll:
Hello Big Ears, Where did you get that information about Duddy's European title fight. It would be a great fight if it happened. Henry Coyle won his last fight on a 4th tko. Henry can punch, but he should fight more often. They can say what they want, Duddy is Irish, we know it, so **** them at Boxrec
His team mentioned it several times(including on tv) after the win against Eastman that he would have a fight in America in Februrary and then hopefully take on Sebastian Sylvester a month later in March(in Belfast) . Now I'm not sure they can lure Sylvester out of Germany , but it seems they do have genuine plans to face him . Boxrec have Coyle winning his last fight by 1st round Tko , but then again we know how accurate boxrec can be :roll:
My opoligies, about the Coyle result. I was pretty certain The Irish News reported it it as a 4rd TkO, but there you go.:huh There has been nothing in any of the Irish press lately, about Duddy fighting here again, but I suppose nothing will be announced until after the Munoz contest. Are you going to the Cork or Limerick promotions.:bbb
I'd be going to the Limerick one but it's during my mocks :? , the first card near North Tipp........well ever and it comes at a bad time .
Unfortunately not , a boxing club was only started in my town about 2 years ago(and it's meant to be fairly ****) so combined with my commitments to soccer I've just never had the chance . Planning on starting sometime in the near enough future though .
Boxing can be tough at times, but when I was boxing, there was no better feeling than a ref raising your arm in victory.
