wow both were edged out but Johns lost has to suck more. Ouma is done his not the same punching machine as before.
Im surprised that Lyell beat him but not surprised he lost to a C level fighter. It was going to happen sooner or later. The hype should now be done with. To bad for Manfredo, he would dominate Duddy. Pointless fight now though.
So much for the jabbing-boxing version of Duddy.Wow...didn't see that coming,at least not tonight .
Poor ol' Ouma,sobering life story and harsh prospects have reached another end.Becoming habit.Dude could fight a bit,big heart.Hope he collects royalties on his biography/movie though.
This can go 1 of 2 ways.
1. So much for the highly anticipated JCC Jr. vs. Duddy PPV event.
2. Now's the perfect time to feed him to Jr.
What will Arum do???
I cant believe Duddy lost , i mean not only was he the next Ray Robinson , but he was fighting at the very top level from a very young age , and tonight he lost to a legend.
Good luck in the future John , you will always be the legend in my eyes , you and Kid Thunder.
It was bound to happen, Duddy would go to war with B and C level fighters and would just edge them out...He was bound to lose one.
shame really i liked him
LOL. And to think some fools actually thought he was improving. Duddy is and always has been garbage. To think he could be Chavez Jr is laughable. Chavez is far from being great himself, but he don't be losing to Billy Lyell
It's better it happened this way. Otherwise Pavlik would have gotten another decent payday by beating up a bum.
He needs to fight Abraham. Now it might be the only decent fight left for him. Make it happen!
Only one loss , is boxing not full of career tunrarounds .
I think Duddy was managed to well ! Sounds stupid but he was never pitched in deep always given the same kinda fighter for too long and has clearly platoued
Maybe being cut loose will do the kid some good instead of having the fighting hopes of a nation on his back .
I hope soo , he needs some relief.
I've never been too impressed with Duddy, he always seems to make things harder than they should be. It's not the end of the road, and maybe he can learn his lesson and come back the wiser.
He lost to a journeyman there though. :-\
honestly i'm pretty sure now that JCC Jr would win against himQuote:

If anything this is really Duddy's 3rd loss. Looks like the checks to the judges bounce this timeQuote:

Has there ever been such a sudden decline in a fighter for seemingly no apparent reason?
It's not like he suddenly got old or was brutally beaten and broken he should be in his fighting prime.
Has he got outside issues that we don't know about or some other external factors?
Also will Oumafan remain loyal to him or will he have to eventually namechange?

If they want to put Duddy in with JCC Junior or some other big money fight then they'll have to get him winning again first. Otherwise he comes back to Ireland and fights some tomato cans. Probably Duddy gives it another go in America, exhausts his economic value there then heads back to Ireland.
No, but he needed a gift to beat Matt Vanda the first time and Vanda is worse than Duddy.Quote:

He's fortunate he never stepped in the ring with a top tier fighter.
haha, at least Duddy lost too, that softens the blow, oh well, to be totally honest I had no clue Ouma was even fighting, I have the worst screen name ever but if I didn't change it after he lost to K9 what's the point here :-\
I don't know what I'd change it too to be honest, ZahirRaheemFan :-\

For the moment, it is only a disappointing lost, perhaps it was what he needed to raise his game by a few degrees and to wake him up to work harder let see how it goes but I think it might help him to become an interesting gate keeper in the division (which is mosly the best I think he could achieve but still, an exciting and kind gate keeper).
duddy losing although an upset is hardly a shock.
He`s almost been found out by genuine journeymen 2-3 times now and leaves himself far too open to ever mix it with the big boys
duddy cant get away with trying to be a gatti because he has neither the power or the accuracy a prime arturo had!!
