In that fight Duddy showed courage and loads of heart.
If they met today I'd take Duddy by decision.
Lee's too green for my likings, skills are there but still too green for my likings.
Campas was 35 and well past his prime and Duddy got a gift decision against Campas, plus Campas was only ever goodish even in his prime. It was good fight no doubt but i don't think getting controversial decision over shot Campas is that much of an achievement.
You misread my statement.
I was pointing out that he showed heart & courage taking bits from Campas whos still a hard puncher even today. Campas is a gate keeper and up and coming prospects fight him if you get past him then your good to move on to the next level. I didn't say the decision was right however the decision stands and that's what I'm going by. I too think Campas won. Still he was awarded the win and that's that.
Check out how many prospects he's blasted out in the last 2 or 3 years.
Sometimes as fans we put too much emphasis when figthers struggle in certain fights. I brougth this up during the Cintron thread where you were saying cause he struggled in his last fight he would loose to Williams. Going on that performance. ODLH struggled with John John bad early in his career but still ODLH went on to beat other fighters who were much better then John John. Duddy struggled with Campas but learned that he can take some shots and dig down and fight on till the end.
