Following Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s twelve round decision win over John Duddy at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, Top Rank CEO discussed the future options for Duddy. A fight that Arum is interested in making, would see Duddy take on Yuri Foreman in a big clash at New York's Madison Square Garden. It's not clear if Duddy would come back down to 154 or Foreman would come up to 160....."AS SOON AS DUDDY RECOVERS,AND AS SOON AS YURY'S KNEE HEALS, WE ARE GOING TO SELL MADISON SQUARE GARDEN NEXT YEAR", ARUM SAID.
Holy **** that's actually a good fight. Both have great chins and stamina; obviously Yuri with the better defense and John cracks harder. Good style match-up. Foreman's edge in class would be countered by Duddy's size and strength advantage. Almost guaranteed to go the distance, and to provide some great fireworks. Make it, yeah.
Very good match up if it happens. Both fighters have great heart but I got to go with Foreman on this one.
