    Default That Bum. I think his name is Duddy

    How the hell does a guy take an un televised ass whoopin from a no name fighter and be in the running for a title fight against Pavlik.

    every clip they showed of this guy it look like his opponent was getting the better of him.

    If you can sell lots of tickets and you're rubbish you can get champions interested in a big easy payday against you.

    Think the term bums a bit harsh mate...i became more of a fan of his after watching last nights fight... wish every boxer supplied such entertainment


    he is no where near ready for Pavlik though.

    How is it he is a bum?,,,The guy goes in the ring gives it his all puts on a great show and has yet to lose?

    I think a bum is someone who lives on the street begs for money and does not work for a living...Duddy works damn hard..Though it is harder then need be....

    I am not a fan of the guy really but to come out with a statement like you did is crap....

    When you step in the ring take punches in the face in front of tens of thousands of people 5 or 6 times a year and manage to go home a winner 20+ times thus far then you can talk and call guys bums....

    He isn't a bum but he isn't any good. If he was Mexican we'd never have heard of him.

    What the fuck does that mean...if he were Mexican?


    Duddy is a balls out style of fighter...he doesn't fight smart and he gets hated on for that....Wladimir DOES fight smart and he gets hated on for that too.



    The question is WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?!?!

    All these posts lately have been complaints:

    "He gets hit too much"
    "He's too scared to get hit"
    "He has no defense"
    "He's all defense"

    Nothing ever pleases some of you guys....I'm sure if Tyson was in his prime right now some of you would have shit to say about him too

    He's a limited fighter who is only in the position he's in because he has a big fanbase. He's the Irish JCC junior.

    Facing an opponent-type fighter on Saturday he could easily have lost the bout had he not been the home fighter.

    ....well his being Irish might draw in some fans but if he was hispanic he would still have fans.

    Arturo Gatti had the biggest group of devout fans in boxing when he was fighting and his last name might be Italian and he's from Canada, but it didn't stop fans of all backgrounds and colors to enjoy what he did.

    John Duddy is liked as a fighter because of the way he fights

    I'm sure there are plenty fighters just as good as him that have never even made it out of Mexico. Look at the guy Duddy was fighting, a Tunisian immigrant to Canada. We'd never heard of him and never will again but in terms of excitementhe was at least Duddy's equal on Saturday night. Let's face it, who landed most of the big punches ?

    ....anyone of any background that makes their way on to cards at the Garden with Duddy's type of style will have a huge following.

    Duddy isn't ONLY popular because he's Irish...it's because of his style. Look at Arturo Gatti he fought the same way, no defense, cut up like someone took a knife to him, and yet he pulls off a win....his style adds drama to the fight.

    Look at Edison Miranda he fights virtually the same way....only he has crazy power but the fans love his style...he's not Irish, he's not even American.

    Sure there are plenty of fighters as good or better than Duddy but Duddy draws the crowds....he puts asses in seats....you do the math

    So we agree. Excellent.

    ...I guess we agree

    Sometimes why people like or dislike a certain fighter isn't clear but people certainly love John Duddy....he has the attitude where he is stubborn and will only win one way and that's with true grit and guts.

    Sure he isn't the classic boxer but he's blood and guts....he'll be outmatched soon enough but what's not to like with Duddy?
