What fights prepared Duddy??? Lorenzo is light years above Duddy and actually has a chance to beat Pavlik.
Duddy has done more than alot of so called challangers that get title shots Ok, hes not the best boxer in the worl, none of his fans nor Duddy himself ever said he was. Hes a nice honest lad, has even stated he may not be ready for Pavlik. I don't know why fans wouldn't want to see Duddy (fan favourite, big heart, great chin and exciting) v Pavlk (peoples champion, honest lad, good power and exciting) in a fight Neither have lost, its obvious Kelly is a better boxer though. But why would anyone want Lorenzo to fight Pavlik ahead of Duddy? People will say 'for Duddys health sake', since when the **** did boxing fans say that? Hes healthy as can be, fights with his heart on his sleve, yes he blocks shots with his face...but its exciting stuff But, im looking forward to Pavlik v Lorenzo, should be a classic compared to Pavlki v Duddyatsch
At least he has the height to make it interesting - only thing that doesn't fit me to give him a big chance vs. Pavlik is his handspeed...
It's because he is everything you just mentioned. That's why people don't want to see him fight Pavlik. John would get beaten brutally around the ring until his corner was forced to throw in the towel, and no one wants to see that. He's a very nice guy and he makes exciting fights but that would be a brutal fight to watch
He has more chance of beating Pavlik than Lorenzo does i reckon Like it or not and i realise this is only a stat, but hes unbeaten, so deserves A shot, one shot at Pavlik. I give him about 20% chance to Pavliks 80% chance of winning. It won't happen now anyways.
I like Duddy a lot but there is no point in him fighting Pavlik, he will be KO'd early and possibly injured badly. He took many flush shots last night from a guy who didn't feint, had no jab, or hand speed. Pavlik given those same openings would near decapitate him. He is just not in that class and it is painfully obvious.
