it seems bernard dunne is about to retire rumors of it all day he called a press conference for tonight

why? He's 29 right?

or did he take too much punishment from Poonsawat?

hes taken a lot of damange from figters even in his world champion belt win he went down like 4/5 times

like the way he fights but after the last lose it was best for him to call it a day. He was never gonna be a serious world champion but would of been good to see him fight Monroe.

shame, would've like to see him fight munroe.

yeah same here. not really a fan of Munroe so wanted Dunne to beat him.

i like both of them, fancied munroe to win but wouldnt know who to support.

Seems a bit weird retiring though, it never entered my head that he'd even be concidering it. He had a few fights left in him at euro level.

Probaly would of tipped Munroe to beat him....something about Munroe and his style that I don't like.

He probaly called it aday due to the fact he knew he wouldn't be a world champion. He was in two wars back to back and it probaly took it outta him.

and the kiko martinez ko was hard on him too, i saw the lad when he was 18 in dublin he has amazing boxing skills but no chin

yeah his amatuer record was outstanding too.

It's best for him to be honest. Gotta love his heart but he takes too much punishment.

I wanted to see him fight Rendall Munroe for European title

confirmered this evening, wish him all the best

For the best, his chin was like Swiss Cheese by the end.

though he's not a division ruler, he has still a lot left in his tank..
he could test the newbies at 122.. anyways, wish him all the best...

Dunne has made a fortune, whilst Munroe continues to fight in community centres, Dunne was selling out Ireland's biggest venues live on national television. He has also made a lot of money from sponsorship and personal appearances.

He will go into media now and will have a job for life. He is a humble guy and doesnt require to have the trapping of success to be displayed and enjoys his life with his family and parents.

Anyone tipping Munroe to beat Dunne needs their heads read. Munroe has the perfect style. I would lay money on Dunne stopping the Bin Man in the championship rounds. Bernard always feed off fighters like Rendall. Murnoe is a very fit fighter and will come forward for 12 rounds but his skills are a little agrarian and doesnt possess the power to rock Bernard shakey chin. Bernard would outbox and demoralise Rendall and if not stop him them gain a very wide points victory.

Yep wish him all the best .He could still probably make a huge payday off Munroe .The Cordoba fight was well worth it .
