by T.K. Stewart - For those of you that may not have seen the movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the basic storyline is that actor Brad Pitt is born as an old man and then ages in reverse before dying as an infant.
For fringe middleweight contender John Duddy, life has begun to imitate art – disturbingly so.
He began his career in 2003, seemingly at the apex. He would score highlight reel knockouts, send opponents crashing to the deck in heaps of broken humanity and he packed the house wherever he hung his hat.
But after running his record 17-0, 15KOs, Duddy was matched with veteran Yory Boy Campas in the basement of Madison Square Garden. It was a hellish fight and one in which the young Duddy was pushed to the bloodied brink of defeat on more than one occasion. Through sheer grit, he repeatedly pulled himself back from the abyss and he was fortunate to have emerged with a unanimous decision win. [details]
