If he stays focused and alert for 12 hard rounds this should be Dunne's. Nothing is guaranteed though with his chin and defence. -
I think Dunne can win this. He just needs to keep his focus and not allow himself to get too comfortable. But I don't see Harry letting him do that - there's definetly a renewed vigor in the camp and they appear genuinely prepared for what is going to be a tough night.
One thing I think will work in Dunne's favour though is Poon only arriving earlier this week (was it Tuesday?). I'm not saying it'll have a huge impact but that sort of jetlag will generally effect your body for a good week or so. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him slowing down as the rounds progress.
He's a tough nut but I remember his team complaining about this after the contract was signed - they were concerned about the amount of time he'd be given to recover from the flight. May be a factor...Comment

I hear what your saying,but it is sooo hard to find anyone dangerous that calls themselves 'Poon'.Comment

Poonsawat is an excellent little super bantam weight thats for sure......Comment

I'm rootin for the little Irishman, and he's got alot more promise than John Duddy, for sure. Anyone know where he's from in Ireland?Comment

I want Poon "Thailand's Manny Pacquiao" to win.
He would be an awesome champ cuz he really brings it.
I just hate to see it go to a decision and he gets robbed in Ireland.
If Dunne can beat him, all props to him but I am worried about hometown cooking and think perhaps Poon needs a ko to win.Comment
