Hey guys Bernard Dunne is facing Ricadro Cordoba for the WBA title on the 21st March how do you guys see this one going.. Also what did you guys think of Duddy against Vanda - did you guys see any improvement in Duddy And finally I hear Andy Lee is fighting at the garden on over St Patricks w/e anyone of you dudes going to the fight
I'll be at Lee's fight. I was at Duddy's fight, and there was definately an improvement. Pat Burns has him working behind his jab more and using some better techniques that prevent him from getting countered so easily. Still, Duddy got rocked in the last round, but it's virtually impossible to put him down. I like it, but he's still a work in progress. While we're at it, any updates on the Irish Olympians?
I would favor Cordoba to beat Dunne in a respectable performance by dunne but a conclusive result Duddy will never improve (he barely held it together towards the end against vanda) but now that he has gotten rid of those irish ropes crooks, he can maybe make some cash Hopefully, the Lee reclamation project can continue, there's more to him than the other two
Lee vs Duddy would be a big fight back there in UK or Ireland. How do you guys see it? can Lee last the 12 rounds?
I thought Duddy did display a lot of improvement (apart from the last round) I still don't fancy his chances against Kelly - he is still to hittable. I'll be at Lee's fight aswell - I think I was suppose to meet you guys for the Calzaghe V Jones but it never happened. Maybe a few beers this time around... As for our Olympians, Silver medal winner Kenny Egan is staying amature for the 2012 games in the UK, I'm a little dissappointed in that. Bronze medal winner Darren Sutherland has signed with Frank Moloney and has had one KO thus far. This kids looks awesome Ive seen him destroy guys in the amateurs some brutal KO but I do questions his heart - he gave after he secured the bronze and that was very disappointing. All the other guys are pretty young and staying put for 2012 - these guys are well funded over here now so it takes away some of the pressure and attraction to the pro game.

The Lee fight is off, because the irish ropes crooks couldnt sell enough tickets. Tough luck for Lee, his career has really been on hold since the upset.
