Just been watching a clip of this guy Ricardo, He looks very good Maybe a bit to much for Dunne, But you never no............

This guy looks like he will give Dunne a very, very close fight. At the moment, I would lean towards the champion. Dunne has NO chance of a knockout or stopping this guy in my opinion, so it's gonna be a distance fight.

Add to the fact the only time Dunne's chin was tested properly he was destroyed in a round. So will the champion's high knockout rate actually stand for something.

You know Cordoba beat the 2 belt Champ Caballero back in the day and for years was considered the better boxer from Panama.

Dunne's in his trouble in this fight.

Cordoba only lost once and he fought Sidorenko the champ to two draws.

I know you like him, but he may be in for a very long night if he doesn't bring his A PLUS PLUS game.

You're right man, didn't he stop Caballero? The only reason I say it might be close, is because Dunne is a decent enough speedy boxer (despite his leaking defense), and videos I've seen of Cordoba he does not seem as fast, so if Dunne played it safe he could get this to the cards. But like you say, Cordoba looks a good quality fighter, plus isn't he a southpaw?

Dunne's team may be just playing the lottery on this one. Going for broke on a big gate and world title challenge. A nice pay-day for him.

He's an excellent boxer. He knocked Caballero down late five plus years ago but won a decision.

The thing about him though, he's very good at times, but he's prone to have off nights at times.

He has good power, but he's not icing Dunne in the first, so Dunne will have many rounds to work and use his speed.

He is a southpaw, has some power, but it's not ungodly or anything.

Good to see an irish guy get a world title shot,
It will be his toughest fight to date, Hope he's
up for it....
