Derryman John Duddy is linked with a fight with Kelly Pavlik

[msagrain]

Duddy is being mooted as a possible opponent for new undisputed world middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik next March.
American Pavlik claimed the world middleweight crown with a seventh-round stoppage of Jermain Taylor on Saturday.

Pavlik's promoter Bob Arum is already taking about Duddy as a possible opponent for the new champion.

"People have mentioned a fight with John Duddy. That would be huge in Madison Square Garden," said Arum.

"That would be right before St Patrick's Day."

Arum expects Pavlik to have a rematch against Taylor but he wants his fighter to have another contest before the return bout.

Duddy has claimed 21 straight wins and his last bout was a 10th-round stoppage win over Italian journeyman Alessio Furlan in July.


The 28-year-old Irishman will be back in action when he faces Spaniard Pablo Navascues at the National Stadium in Dublin on 20 October.

Thirty-one-year-old Navascues has lost only one of his 26 professional bouts.

That could be a good fight with the styles clash. I could see Pavlik getting knocked down but getting up to later stop Duddy, except it would be worse than what Taylor got.

And less competitive.

I REALLY want DUDDY-PAVLIK to happen, IF it happens of Free TV.

I mean, PAVLIK would skyrocket in popularity. Its an exciting fight, as onesided as its gonna be, and it'll end with Pavlik scoring a brutal KO over another undefeated fighter.

PLUS, it'll be in front of a PACKED and ELECTRIC madison sqaure garden. Its just a PERFECT fight to put on free TV. Arum would really be dropping the ball if he didnt do it

Duddy would be lucky to make it to round 7.
St Patricks Day Massacre.

Too bad they jacked the quotes that Mark Vester transcribed from the BoxingScene video with Arum. Bastards.

Duddy's defense didn't look good enough from the little I saw.

Taylor defended fist his rematch against Hop, then against Winky. Pavlik is going after a no-hoper.

And no k-ball this isn't hjate. I understand the politics, I just want to remind that Taylor set a standard in his match selection that Pavlik should honor.

Arthur Abraham is ripe for it. Take the hard one Kelly. The real fans know the difference.
