Before i begin gotta say i'm Irish so automatically a Dunne fan, but i a lil bit critical of his last few career moves, personally i feel after calling him out for so long a fight with Hunter would be a real education to Dunne and probably provide the step up he needs to reach world level. in my opinion Dunne is just short of world class now and this fight (although undoubtedly a challenge,) will not work to his benefit as Hunter/ another american fight would?

Thanks for bringing this to the forum

What good would a Hunter fight be, he got spanked in his last fight, and Dunne just beat
Pickering who imo beat Hunter as well. his next fight is his first defence of his euro title
and is keeping him active. He moving along nicely and said he wants a world title fight at the end
of the year, i'd give him a good shout at beating most in the division, time will tell

Phil u got me there...i had actually forgotten pickering and hunter had met!!! Dunnes defence has come on imeasurably! do you think he was slightly foolish accepting the challenge of a fighter who he openly admits he knowm nothing of?

There's always a bit of a risk taking on fighters u know nothing about, looking at this guys
record I think it'll be straight forward though, hopefully they have someone lined up 4 a big fight
later in the year

I really like Bernard Dunne, a great fighter. I can't wait to see him in the ring with Steve Molitor, that would be one hell of a fight, especially in Dublin!
