That Bum. I think his name is Duddy

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

True and the guys who thumb their noses at fighters like Duddy are no better than the shitheads out there who don't know anything about boxing other than "Mike Tyson's Punch Out"

I guess we all start somewhere... Even if it happens to be being raked over the coals by members of a forum

[El Kabong]

Yeah.....and everyone can see Duddy needs better defense, I am not defending that but what boxer ISN'T a bum to some of the members here

"Floyd is a bum, Taylor is a bum, Lacy is a bum, Wlad is a bum, _____ is a bum."

I guess Ali is the only guy you can NEVER say anything negative about or else you get called a racist


It just gets old....people always talking about who is a bum and not who did well or fought with heart or followed a strategy well or whatever....it's crap

I been saying this for a few months now. I seen Duddy fight a few times on msg and he is an loser. He has a good following that has the pull for someone to even consider putting him in the rind against Pavilik. His defense is terrible and if Pavlik do decide to fight him that fight will be over in three rounds. Pavlik is going to kick his F#!ken ass!

Well as I agree Pavlik would dispach him early in the fight, he is not a loser, nor a bum... But thanks for stopping by

Lol, I wish I could find that... Where is that... That'd be fun to read now. Kinda like finding a buried time capsule

I think it will be real real interesting to see where he goes from here. Anyone can have a bad night but i just wasn't all to convinced of the guy even before saturday.

[The Rookie Fan]

Well you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets filled first.



That completely narrows your being a true fan of boxing. I am not saying you love a fighter like Duddy or Wlad but you cannot hate the extremes of boxing it's impossible to do. You either dislike the sweet science part of it or you dislike the brawlers.

If you don't accept one or the other and appreciate it then you've just become a fan of very few boxers and a hater of quite a few boxers

I think it was obvious that when I said "We" I was generalizing and when I described "What we want..." I meant in an Ideal world. Not in the real one. In other words I was being sarcastic...

I understand your point but you really need to sit back an chill for a while. I think this is the very first time someone in this forum has insinuated that I might be a hater...

Well that's true... At this point he's gonna start breaking into guys that can and will out box/out punch him... I can't wait to see the matchmaking that happens and when the Defense will tighten up.

(Mar, this isn't directed towards you. I'm just responding to your post and adding this stuff so I dont have to post again)

But when someone calls a fighter a bum for stepping into the ring... With no defeats mind you... Who is willing to put on a show... Who has a large fan base... and who has skill. (however limited)

I have an issue with that...

It takes a special person to even step in between those ropes... And we're not just talking about a someone... We're talking about an undefeated prospect.


Oh, and did I mention I'm really not a Duddy fan?

Lol, it happens

[Lance Uppercut]

I was at the fight, and everyone in the audience seemed to believe that Duddy lost. In fact, when it was announced that Duddy had won, even the pro-Duddy crowd booed.

[The Fightfan]

God damn a bum I don't so.He did beat the guy didn't he.You can see there is some talent there but to put him in with Pavlik right now is crazy.I would say another half dozen fights or so before taking that leap.Well who knows if he's getting paid why not fight Pavlik(arguing with myself) well anyway I just thought it was a little harsh to be calling this a guy a bum.He has something mostly all of us don't have on these boards and that's called BALLS.

Well not appreciating what Duddy had to go through to win is pretty shitty. Sure he shouldn't have had as much trouble with this guy as he did but that does add drama to the fight.

Duddy has a lot he needs to work on but the kid has heart and he actually FIGHTS he doesn't box, he doesn't use any sweet science....he's a blood and guts brawler a la Arturo Gatti.

he's not Ray Robinson but his style doesn't make it fair to call him a BUM

I'll fill in that blank______for you.....Manfredo is a bum

Just kidding Pride{well, not really, but you know}

[Kirkland Laing]

He would be just as marketable if he was from any other country and fought in New York.

How come that Canadian-Tunisian can't sell thousands of tickets in NY then? He was far more exciting than Duddy in that fight and we'll probably never hear of him again.
