That Bum. I think his name is Duddy

[Kirkland Laing]

....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 ?
