~The OFFCIAL Chavez Jr vs. Duddy: RBR and Discussion Thread~

[Guest]

Junior was impressive tonight. But lets be honest, Duddy's defense makes Margarito look like Willie Pep.

I was actually thinking something along those lines while watching the fight.

It was like hitting a heavy bag.

Duddy moves very little and is wide open after he punches.

It wouldn't kill him to block a few.

It just goes to show you didn't know much about Duddy. Or you chose to ignore it.




He's just in better shape, otherwise he looked like always just that people think Duddy's better than his usual fare of journeymen.

Having said that, I do think he murks Cotto at 54'. Cotto is ripe for the picking against someone like Chavez.

I wouldn't say he beats Cotto at 154, Cotto is on another level. I guess you hate Jr, dont know what it is but the kid looked much better. The moment he threw the left hook, turned on it and landed the right hand is something I have never seen Jr. do. His footwork was much better, Roach has this kid much improved and motivated and that sometimes is the hardest thing to do.

Bob Arum, as much as I hate him and think he's a worthless piece of ****, is the greatest match maker in the sport. He knows how to build up his fighters

I was thinking the same thing about the Match Making.

Duddy and Chavez are like mirror images of each other in terms of talent and style.

It was good showing by Chavez, but I think that's as good as he's gonna get. I can't imagine him fighting like that with any of the bigger names in the sport and being successful. But Jr always new how to fight for the most part, which is why I never understood why people would dismiss him as fast as they did. A little polish never hurt anyone, or anything for that matter and that's what he got being in a legitimate training camp for this fight.

But you could tell just from the fact that he couldn't really pull the trigger to finish Duddy when he had the chances that he's just not on that other level. He can turn over a decent punch though. He's always been able to.

His best challenge to date is not much better than his usual challenges.

Thats my point. People getting their panties wet over a mirage win.

He is what he is.

He looked really good IMO, you have to give him credit for what he did in one of the most Brutal 12 rounds in recent memory.

People think hes gonna go from mediocre to elite in one fight but it doesnt work that way

He improved a whole lot and could be good if he keeps getting better

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And his consistancy was another improvement as well. JCCjr looked pretty good tonight. But John Duddy has moved up a notch on my highly respected fighters list.
