Arce v Morel will fight as the double main feature in San Antonio's Alamodome.

FINALLY a JC Jr. fight I can care about.....GOOOO DUDDY!!!

[Oggie]

Two overrated fighters, but at least Duddy entertains every time. I've been hoping for someone to spark Chavez jr. for a while now, hopefully Duddy can summon some power to stop that candy floss boxer and bury his career once and for all.

Both average but I think Chavez takes this.

Too early to hope for a headbutt induced N.C 1 ?

Think Duddy can barely box just enough to take a W over JR

[Nameless]

My grandma would say "Go for the irish all the way" and my Grandma was a damn cool woman so I do listen to her to spark out Junior

Chavez Jr will never, ever do anything that will come close to his fathers achievements. Hell I think his brother Omar will have a better career than him. But I can’t see him losing to Duddy. Duddy by all rights should have 3 losses on his record. D level Walid Smichet beat him and 107 year old Yory Boy Campas should of also got the win. There both C fighters. But I think Chavez is C+ while Duddy is C-.

Well, well, well... I've been proven wrong. Looks like Papa Chavez IS willing to take a slight risk. Duddy may not be all that, but by the coddled Chavez's standards, he's a step up nonetheless. Let's put it this way: Duddy will not willingly play the part of fattened sacrificial lamb to put another W on Junior's inflated record.

Here's hoping Duddy makes Junior go home crying to his daddy.

About time this fight was made, these have been on a collision course if you can call it that for years as neither is world class and both represent the furthest the other can go.

Whatever the result it's downhill for both of them afterwards, so if it's exciting you can be sure of a rematch, maybe a trilogy.

My biggest hope is that Peter Manfredo gets the opportunity to fight the winner because he will smash them both and imo is the king of the B Listers around this weight.

It's an exciting fight for me, it's kind of like a world gatekeepers championship belt and is still meaningful in its own way.

I think Duddy will be too tough and will win over 12 rounds but that Chavez Jr will get the decision.

Cue rematch.......

I've been waiting for this Superfight to be made for some time now. Apparently the tagline for this fight is going to be "Who's The Least Shit?"

It's in Texas so if Chavez is still upright at the end of it he gets the win. Duddy's trainers have a hell of a sense of humour and are telling the poor sod to use more of his boxing ability in fights. You can see from his last fight how well that's working for him. I've seen statues with better mobility. Duddy's only chance in this fight is to forget about the "boxing" stuff his trainers keep telling him about and steam into Junior and spark him, he can forget a decision.

I'm going for Junior in this one.

What would you know? Duddy will spark him out in the 4th Round. In front of all Chavez' loyal following. Go on Duddy, Derry and Ireland are proud of Ye.

Good post. Duddy wins but Chavez gets the hometown decision and then Manfredo versus the winner on an undercard in the future.
