I have to think that Duddy puts up a better fight than Lockett - you won't see Duddy taking a knee, but that really means he will end up taking more abuse with the same result.Pavlik KO6 Abraham doesn't press the issue much so i think Duddy goes 8 rnds here.
I like Duddy a lot. He seems like a great guy and he fights with a lot of heart. I don't want to see him get annihilated, so I hope neither of these fights happens.
Thats how i feel too.There not much at 160 besides AA and Pavlik and i presume they will go to 168 fairly soon.I think Duddy can at least compete with the rest of the division although a fight with Pavlik will make him some good money.
There isnt alot of difference between Smichet and Pavlik so Duddy has a great chance against Pavlik :smooch AA......NO CHANCE
Duddy has a better chance against Kelly...but also takes a way way way worse beating with Kelly. Abraham has the tendency to take minutes off in rounds and just work out of that turtle shell defense. If he's doing that and not punching Duddy then he could make it to the 6th round. No more though as Abraham's ability to open up at the end of the round and lay in power shots would destroy the game Duddy. Against Pavlik's all aggression attack, He'd probably land some shots (possibly good enough to stun Pavlik) but also eat a bazillion punches back crisper and cleaner than he can land on Pavlik. Pavlik would damage Duddy permanently. Atleast against Abraham a knock out would be a knock out...Pavlik would be a drawn out prolonged beating.
