According to BT, they robbed the no name fighting Duddy. He got cut bad and his planned showdown with Pavlik is in jeopardy because of it. At least that may prevent him from getting an undeserved world title shot.
they will postpone. It was an excuse for Duddy not to get his beating and still milk the duddy express. Cupey
He got beat like a dog. Duddy = :shit: If he fights Kelly, he dies in like three rounds Bad robbery IMO
Did you even watch the fight? What rounds did you give to Walid? 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?
I scored at least all of the first five rounds to Walid and I think maybe also 8 and 10. I'll rewatch sober and get back to you. In any event, Duddy was awful, especially early on. He got hit for fun by a guy half his size and with about half his supposed talent. He had THREE very bad cuts and the fight could have been stopped on these alone. Walid didn't have more than a scratch on him. If my memory serves, in the second half of the fight, Duddy was much smarter, working behind his jab and not blocking right hands with his face. But I don't remember him landing all that much, hitting gloves and arms more than face. :dunno: As I say, I'll rewatch and post accordingly.
I'll await sober analysis - Walid often took the last 20 or 30 seconds of some rounds just remember a round last 3 minutes
I only saw clips of the Duddy fight and he was absorbing some heavy blows and had very bad cuts. He also went life and death with Campas and took a lot of punishment. A fight against Pavlik would be sanctioned murder.
