    Duddy's staement: "I no longer have the enthusiasm and willingness to make the sacrifices that are necessary to honor the craft. I wish I still had the hunger, but I don’t. The fire has burned out."

    Sorry to hear, but at least he's going out on his own terms. I'm afraid stepping stone was written all over his future career. He was shut out by JCC ****ing Jr.

    WTF? He just signed to fight Lee, maybe he got it wrong? I hope, this couldn't be true.

    a sad day but it would be even sadder if he got in the ring again and again and took beatings...

    He didn't suck. Sure he was never going to be a top fighter but he had a lot of heart and was in a good few exciting fights. Show some respect.
