Is duddy a souped up clubfighter?

he thinks he's rocky. i was half hoping he lost last night just to completely kill the idea of him fighting pavlik, just for his own safety.

if he had aspirations of becoming a hollywood actor he might as well just get out now while he still has a reputation and is in reasonably good health.

 

What a gr8 chin though. Pavlik will murder him- I was quite hopeful up until last night. 98-92 score??? lol Blind *******s.

 

the only thing that impressed me was his chin.....he was sitting in this corner saying "speed speed" to himself, then came out and get clocked by these slow as hell long wingding hooks and straight rights.

PAvlik would damage him....i dont care how good your chin is, if your defence is that bad.

 

In all honesty he did start to pull it together towards the end. But against a fighter like Pavlik he's gonna get smashed.

That cut over his left eye was huge!

 

He will lose the way Bobby Gunn did to Enzo.

 

How did you score it Jeff?

 

If Duddy fought the way he did last night against Pavlik he would be lucky to last a round. I think Duddy just totally under estimated the guy, against Pavlik he would show him much more respect. I still don't think that he would last any more than 3 rounds with Pavlik as he is too easy to hit.

 

Duddy is an excitig club fighter nothing more or less. His a bit like Middleweights own Artuto Gatti. He takes wayyyy to many punches and his defense has more holes than swiss cheese. His great to watch but i dont want to see the kid get hurt bad against big guns like Pavlik.

 

I watched the fight last night and was shocked at how bad Duddy was - I knew Walid was tough (see youtube for the Demers fight) but I thought Duddy would have enough to win every round and maybe a round 9 or 10 stoppage but no KO. I watched rounds 1 -5 through my fingers and couldnt believe John wouldnt use his guard.

Anyway I watched the fight again today and it wasnt sooooooo bad - it was bad just not terribly bad. Duddy was stupid and fought the wrong fight.

I scored it thus

RD1: 10-9 Smichet - first minute Duddy schooled him but then the Smichet bombs landed

RD2: 10-9 Duddy - Duddy's superior boxing skills

RD3: 10-9 Duddy - All Duddy for the first two and a half minutes but then came the Walid bombs which landed - possibly even.


RD4: 10-9 Smichet - Good round - good trading of blows, Duddy workrate could have taken it/it could have been even but I gave it to Smichet for his more eye catching work

RD5: 10-10 Even - Smichet dominant - then Duddy - then Smichet - then Duddy - couldnt call that one!

RD6: 10-9 Duddy - Duddy outboxes Walid

RD7: 10-9 Duddy - even exchanges but then Duddy outboxes - Duddy starts boxing on the outside and it proves effective

RD8: 10-9 Duddy - Intermitant Walid shots lands but Duddy's jab wins the round

RD9: 10-9 Duddy - clear Duddy round (possibly the only one!) move movement, better range of shots

RD10: 10-10 Even - Duddy possibly won this one also but it was scrappy

97-94 Duddy

Anyone know the punchstats?

 

why are people surprised? is this not something people should have already known?

 

suprised at what? what should we have known already?

 

that he's not that good.

 

thats some serious analysis - he's not that good - not "what good" - try and be a little more explicit because it just sounds you are talkin banal bull****

 

96-94 duddy but I had him four rounds down at the beginning the canadians combinations and defence was brilliant. It was a good fight that looked after 4 rounds it might be turning into a gr8 fight... but it lacked the intensity over the course for a potential FOY! IMO.
