Wow... Duddy sucks!

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

If it took you this long to figure out Duddy is limited, you must not have been paying attention to Duddy's career or recent fights. Duddy always gets caught.

I'm just impressed he fought back valiantly, came back strong, and then eventually survived. Proves he's a fighter and not a guy looking to make money.

I'll be the first one to say I didn't know of him til recently and as imprssive as he's been it's true he has showed true flaws as he has stepped up. Everyone's in this game to mke money... Funs for the amatuers!

[Purist]

I still think he'll beat Sergio Mora

No he wouldn't.

I didn't see it. but from this post it looks like Duddy has no defense whatsoever. Which could be evident since his 3rd fight where he said on boxingtalk "If I cant get hurt, I can't lose"

we'll see.

Agreed Sugar Puss.

I think that it needs to be noted that Duddy is a bit limited & pretty much open for anything defense wide.

He'll be a short run champ at best fighting the upper levelers.

Somebody mentioned Echols as safe opposition...but I think that Echols would eat him alive.

If it was the same Echols that fought Hopkins. But if he was that he would have knocked out the last guy he fought in one round. I wish Echols was the way he used to be. If Hopkins wasn't champ then Echols would have been.

Would have loved to see Echols vs. Trinidad

True, True.

I agree with you Starr, Mora dominated Eric Regan who had previously beaten Campos.

Duddy has been vastly over-rated on here for a months whilst Sergio, because of his Contender reality boy stigma get's bashed at every opportunity.

I personally think Mora is top 10 middleweight material, and could possibly prove himself to be amongst the top 5 in 2007.

Can't see him beating Taylor, Wright or Miranda, apart from them he has a chance against anyone else.

[gyrokai]

For the record.

I've never criticized Sergio Mora and I'm not too hard on Duddy
because obviously he's an exciting fighter.

I know people over-rate and this and that, but in most cases,
I like to take it easy on guy's reaching for the top.

Duddy and his now-rare "Irish boxing tradition" are only good for the sport.

I don't have any kind of problem with Duddy, its kind of senseless to blame a fighter for getting a decision you don't agree with, the thing is I just don't think he's very good.

I'm no big fan of Mora, but he actually might be a bit underrated because of the Contender, I don't think he's elite by any means but I think he wins a relatively easy UD over Duddy. Nothing personal against him, just think he's got some major liabilities.

[CountryBoy]

Well I think Duddy showed a tremendous chin in absorbing all those shots from Campas and not going down and heart in fighting back, But he needs a real overhaul in the defensive department. He still young and green, But he has some skill and raw power to grow with.

Agreed & good post.

Pretty much agree all around the board here. Duddy's got a lot of "brawler issues" & at 160lbs...that pretty much shoots your chances to shit when you hit the top 5 spots. Duddy will go down in flames...trust me on this one...just this once.

As far as Mora goes...I'm not a fan based on his ring antics & his attitude...but one must admit that Mora is slick & does have skills. Again...just don't dig on him that much.

He may go far...but that don't mean I gotta like it.

CC. Thing is in that Campos fight Duddy didn't go all offensive, he tried to defend himself, he tried to jab, to maintain some distance, but he was still was getting tagged all night. For one his head is like a statue, it just doesn't move,plus I don't think he has very good reflexes as far as seeing punches coming, he's just got a lot of problems defensively. Honestly if Duddy's career ends up as successful as Gatti's I'd be surprised and I don't overrate Gatti.

[Majesty]

I like Mora. Never really digged Duddy. He's green like his trunks

[The Shadow]

If Duddy's defensive skills are so lackluster (and I haven't seen the fight) then he's in for a rood awakening when he fights a top 10 contender.
Sometimes the Irish disgust me. They sell their names and race like slaves. Get on with it and just get in the ring and do your thing if you
want to box. Stop selling out your people like some sick side-show circus!

Yeah, but don't you think it becomes a bit tryte after time? I understand nationistic pride, and I don't think that there is anything wrong with it, but the redundancy of it all becomes a bit passe after awhile.
