Future is Now for John Duddy, Returns at The Castle

[dmger14]

I agree with all posts. I do note, however, that he had EXCELLENT defense against Howard Eastman, and knows more than we do that he needs to work on it bigtime. I'm still shocked that his entire defense completely disappeared against Smichet. I am also shocked that he just now started lifting weights to get back some power. Sure, the lower totem guys go down easier, but I swear he had more power two years ago than he has in recent fights. We'll see. If anyone can find a livestream link, please post! Boxing Herald will have the podcast in full on MONDAY.

John Duddy is a likable fighter with a style that always gives us fans our money's worth. That said, he better not get in a ring with Kelly Pavlik or Arthur Abraham as both of those champions will overpower him until he's unconcious.

John, we love you, man, but please don't bite off more than you can chew.

He wasn't ready for Pavlik when that fight was 1st bein discussed and he's still not.

I'm Irish and a John Duddy fan but in fairness to him unless there's dramatic improvement defense wise his "0" will be gone within 3 fights. There's only so long a man can go blocking thumps with his face. Pavlik will have him out of there in 3

Duddy when he started and was fighting around New York was always a good show, you'd get your moneys worth. Past two have been rough but I like the fact he knows that and instead of saying how great he is he says he has some work to do.

Hittable guy for Pavlik! Locket even seems to have a better head movement than Duddy! Pavlik can KO Duddy in one round!

there is no way he last more than 5-6 rounds with either Pavlik or Abraham....no way.

Maybe...i bet he could give Sturm a run for his money and possibly beat him.
