Duddy Moves To 3/15, Lee-Eastman on 2/23?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Since the announcement that Oleg Maskaev's defense of the WBC heavyweight title against Sam Peter was moving to Cancun, Mexico on March 8, unbeaten John Duddy (23-0, 17KOs) is planning a move as well. Maskaev-Peter was originally slated to take place at New York's Madison Square Garden on Feb. 2, and Duddy, a big ticket seller on the East Coast, was scheduled to appear on the undercard against Matt Vanda (37-5, 21KOs).

duddy needs to fight abraham, with the winner fighting pavlik!

at this point, lee would do better against either abraham or pavlik (dont know if he could win against pavlik, but he would do better than duddy). i think lee would school duddy.

The information in this story isnt entirely accurate. Its true that once Maskaev-Peter headed to Mexico, Duddy pulled off the card. However, the March 15th date is not a replacement date but has been in the plans all along. Team Duddy is very close to announcing a new date in Feb. So essentially Duddy will still have a Feb and March U.S. date, which was the plan all along. Unless, of course, the Feb date they choose ends up being a very high profile NY card that is too close to the March 15th date which in that case the March date will be canceled all together.
