    Found this clip of Di Rocco losing to Lauri. It isn't in great quality, but can someone explain why Di Rocco just seems to turn his back on Lauri and then walks away? Minds me a bit of Gomez-McDonagh, only not so dramatic.

    He seems to be telling the ref that Lauri is using his head and has picked up a cut because of this. He just seems to get frustrated and loses the plot and has a kick at Lauri as well when the ref gets involved....

    Duddy is very popular here in this part of Ireland, much more so than Lee. I can't say I'm pleased with this fight taking place at all, but if I'm to throw my support behind anyone, it will be for Duddy.

    @danrafaelespn Two opponents names being tossed around for the Winkster: Matthew Mackin (interesting fight) and Giovanni Lorenzo (not so much).

    Lads would ye prefer Mack against Barker or Winky? The Barker fight is more appealing for some reasons ( shut up the Brit forum hype train ) but , faded as he is Winkys still a big name. That fight could open doors for Macklin

    I'm with you I'd prefer to see Macklin fight Barker. The banter on the Brit forum would be good craic but Macklin should fight Wright if the opportunity is there. Makes way more sense for him.

    I reckon the Lee-Duddy fight is a bigger draw than the main event. Duddy is a huge name on the East coast of the States.

    Was just looking at the WSB fixtures and they have Egan and Joyce down to fight Thursday. Thought Egan still had a medical suspension? and im surprisedtheyre putting JJ straight into it.

    I kind of feel the same way as ardy theres plenty of other fights out there for these two lads its just doesnt seem right to have them go to war with each other

    nows the time for lee duddy
    doesnt bother me at all duddy is on the slide and this is probably his last chance at the big time
    if they left it any later duddy might have another couple of losses on his slate
    when he loses to lee he can have a good comeback fight against fitzy for the irish title:blurp

    Lee but only because Duddy hasn't a hope of going anywhere at this stage. Sad to say and all but he doesn't seem to have any avenues open to him. A win for Duddy probably gets him a payday and a beating by a top ranked opponent. However if Lee can pull out and impressive win it shows that he's open to improvement and being moved along and possibly making some kinds of waves at the higher end of the division.

    Not a fight I'm thrilled about to be honest. I don't really want either man to lose but the win will probably do more for Lee and that's why I'll be shouting his corner in this one.
