Duddy Vs JCC Jr thoughts?

[Oggie]

Great fight between two limited fighters! A bit of Gatti vs. Ward about it in a small way.
Both guys showed heart, spirit and guts that far exceed their skills. True warriors!

My only thought left is... How much did Wayne McCullough sell his chin to John Duddy for? The lad is made of metal, haven't seen anyone take so many hard and flush shots for a while. I was sure Duddy was going to go from round 9 onwards, couldn't believe he made it to the end.

Credit to both fighters, and classy post-fight interviews too.

WTF Did I just see chavez jr. In a possible FOTY.... Just for that Roach and Ariza get trainer and conditioner of the century......Im still in shock that I saw chavez jr in an entertaining fight.....

[milmascaras1]

if chavez jr. keeps improving like this, he's going to be a world champion someday! all he ever needed was a good trainer and thankfully he's got one in roach. the fact that chavez jr. is only 24 years old, he has alot of time to improve. roach is smarter than everyone gives him credit for. he knows pacquiao is retiring soon and chavez jr. has a chance to be the new face of boxing after mayweather jr. and pacquiao. if roach can help chavez jr. bring out his potential, roach is sitting on an absolute gold mine. he and saul alvarez are potentially the next big things in boxing!

I know he's only 19, and I've only had limited exposure to him, but Alvarez hasn't impressed me much so far. He's still got a ton of room to grow though, but he needs to shore up his defense in a big way.

mad,

pacquiao's time is almost up, then what are you pacquiao fans gonna do? i mean, who do you have on the horizon? donaire? won't fight anybody his size! who? chavez jr. and canelo alvarez are two rising stars along with a bunch of other fighters. you just can't fathom the fact that philippine boxing is dead after pacquiao and mexican boxing will keep going and going and going.....

[osncoll_0716]

both suck, just Duddy sucks a bit more, IMO Jr beats him by UD

Better change your avatar to white red and green man. Anyways, nice choice. Predictable though.
I knew you're going to support your country man anyways.

yea cause i'm gonna pick the Puerto Rican in a fight between a Mexican and an Irishman , the thread is Duddy vs JCC Jr, and gee golly willakers Chavez Jr won

unlike you i'm not a fan boy blinded by my flag

You worry way too much about nationalities man, who gives a f*** Real boxing aficianados judge boxers by their abilities, not by their ethnic backrounds.....

re-read my post, i'm saying the exact same thing you are, i mean there's one thing to be proud of what fighters from country accomplish, but when you go for a fight only cause of what flag he holds it's a bit naive and ridiculous

Nice write up, I wasnt bummed out at all that Duddy lost. He gave it a go, maybe if he trained with Roach and Chavez Jr. didnt, it may have been the other way around.

Good for Jr. Seriously, he's been tested a lot early considering how late he started. That can't be overlooked and maybe he's being forced to step up early because he has the undefeated record and the last name but he has skills. He also has some heart and it's asking a lot for someone to be rushed to the top level like Miguel Cotto (ridiculous!) 7 years after having his very first fight! I've always thought he was at least a little bit more naturally talented then others like his brother Omar. I felt bad for him when he got booed after nearly blowing it against the very tough Matt Vanda.

[Kirkland Laing]

Chavez did better than I thought but Duddy's defence, bloody hell. Duddy makes Carl Froch look like Floyd Mayweather when it comes to defence. Still can't see Chavez beating any legitimate world level middleweight.

[Nameless]

I was certain Duddy had what it takes to win against Chavez. Well.. I was dead wrong on that one, unfortunately for the irish boy. Chavez did much better than what I thought but was not close impressive enough in my opinion to be a real champion still.

Before the Chavez Jr. bandwagon gets too crowded, I should warn you all that:

1. It's made out of soft, suspect material.
2. It's never been driven over 30 mph.
3. It's always been driven carefully over perfectly asphalted roads.

Drive it over some rocky, bumpy terrain... and the wheels will come off, spilling all passengers onto the rocks below.
