I Hate To Do This HitmanDonny, But Your Boy Bernard Dunne...........

[ICB]

Is gonna get destroyed he's getting a world title shot against Ricardo Cordoba, Ricardo Cordoba holds a win over Celestino Caballero.

Dunne to take on Cordoba for world title - The Irish Times - Fri, Jan 30, 2009

Anyone else think Rendall Munroe is getting shafted here ? i think he deserves it more than Bernard Dunne.

[Phil]

yep absolutly, Dunnes done nothing to deserve a world title shot, but this is nothing new in boxing. It could work out good for Munroe if Dunne could pull off a huge upset(don't think he will) then Im pretty sure Dunne Munroe would fight for the title, Ill tell u one thing if he does win he won't be looking to unify against JuanMa, Rafa or Vasquez

I totally agree good unbiased comment i respect the Irish fighters, tough as hell no holds barred type of fighters. Steve Collins was one of my favorites and i rooted for him against Chris Eubank, even though im English.

But Bernard Dunne is getting a gift shot here, he has done nothing to deserve a shot and theres many more deserving fighters. He's not world class either even though he does have some nice boxing skills.

I'd like to see him pull off an upset but i can't see anything else than a beat down. Rendall Munroe deserves a shot at the winner if he gets past Kiko Martinez again.

I've actually made a thread in the UK section on this topic alrteady.


For the record....
Myself and Bernard personally don not get along.
We've had a little altercation in the past and I border on despising him

Yeah I was shocked as well. This is in Dublin too, so they must be paying Cordoba a fair bit of money for this. Hope Dunne gets hammered, he has done little to warrant such an opportunity after being KO'ed in less than a round by Martinez, he hasn't fought anyone making him worthy of this. Munroe shafted. Maloney needs to get him a world title shot asap.

[Galaxy]

Yeah Dunne's not gonna know whats happening! Cordoba is too good technically & has fought a world of better competition. Cordoba could still be arguably undefeated!!!

Plus he's in my stable in the fantasy league so go THE GODS OF WAR!!!

Too good to train with the other pros.
The least popular fighter in the gym that I have heard of.

Maybe he's just worried about his chin?

He was training in wioldcard gym with Freddie Roach for his first seventeen fights.

Then Manny Pacquiao and Israel Vasquez arrived.
Dunne left.

Coincidence?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

ownage?

Most pro's I've met seem pretty decent and have no problem training round anyone else. The ones who act up like HMD has mentioned, soon get a name for themselves. BTW If you're going to act like a pre-madonna you better have the skills to back it up

Why has no one mentioned the fact that Munroe turned down the chance to fight Cordoba?What is Dunne supposed to do,he is not responsible for Munroe's career.He got the chance and he took it.Why do you guys insist that Munroe deserves to get a world title shot more.He would not fight Dunne,he would not fight Cordoba!
Just for the record Munroe's opposition to date have a combined record of, wins - 186, losses - 176, whereas Dunne's opposition's record is, wins - 342, losses - 129. Yet all I hear is how Dunne has "done nothing" to deserve it, what has Munroe done that's any better.His level of opposition since winning the EBU belt has been average.You guys act like because Dunne got stopped by Martinez that he does not deserve to move on with his career.I don't get it!
