by T.K. Stewart - BOSTON - Only minutes earlier, John Duddy had finished a spirited ten rounds with Charlie Howe in the old gun room of the muggy Castle at Park Plaza in Boston. But as he stood in the makeshift dressing room in the basement of the 117 year-old armory, it was dank and cool.
Duddy was still bathed in warm sweat when trainer Pat Burns made his way down the dark and winding staircase and he saw Duddy with his arm around Howe's shoulder. Burns knew right away that if his fighter stood there in the chill like that for long he'd end up catching a cold.
"Get his robe on, get John his robe," said Burns to no one in particular.
Duddy got back on track with the unanimous decision win over Howe on Saturday night and he electrified the standing room only crowd of 1,300 while notching his 25th straight win.
It was the first fight that Burns and Duddy had spent together as a team and now it was now time for Burns to give his thoughts to a few of us that had cornered him in the bowels of the medieval stone structure. [details]
