Smart move for Duddy as he was always a small middleweight.


Duddy needs to hone his skill and what better way to do that than vs the junior division?

Verno is still a live body and a solid fighter...but I would really fear for Duddy's well being if he set foot in the ring vs Pavlik or Abraham at this point in time...if he was able to fight Sturm I may feel different but that's not the case.


I think Duddy could be a very strong fighter at 154 but it depends on how easy he can maintain that weight...I mean who else is there to really whip his ass?? And even better there are guys he can fight and have very good fights with: Karmazin, Forrest, Mora, Spinks, Julio, Alcine, Yuri Foreman....Duddy can compete with those guys and more power to him for making this choice
