Comments Thread For: Andy Lee-John Duddy Finalize "Irish War" For March 12

[Evil Abed]

hbo is manufacturing opponents for martinez just like they are doing for berto. when 2 crappy fighters fight that doesn't make the winner a good fighter!

Dzinziruk is not a bad fighter.

This might be a bad match-up.

Hes beat Julio, Santos and Lujan.

All solid guys.

Martinez is a great fighter.

Dzinziruk is a good fighter.

Lee is still building from his loss and Duddy is a step up from his recent competition.

I never disregard a fighter because of one loss.

Lee could be a much better fighter for it.

This shouldn't be in America!

Surely, it doesn't make sense.

I actually don't like Lee under-pressure he doesn't seem to have anything on the inside. If he doesn't punch Duddy's face off within the first 5 rounds that pressure could begin to tell.

That said, John Duddy has seen better days. He's had a hard career.

dzinriuk is good but he's not even a middleweight and much better guys were available like pirog. this fight reminds me of when taylor fought spinks. everyone was like why? martinez turned into the mayweather/pac/taylor/berto hbo protected star so quickly.

i don't disregard fighters after losing either but i've seen lee fight a bunch of times and he's not very good. way too stiff. duddy obviously is shi-te and beating him proves what? if the most protected fighter in boxing chavez jr was willing to fight duddy that should tell you how good he is.

Duddy is a great TV fighter. But, to be fair Smichet broke him beyond repair so he really never even European-Level.

Duddy deserves every penny he made from boxing though. But after this one, that man needs to retire.

sounds like a decent fight, but wasnt the martinez fight suppose to be in MSG? not connecticut...not sure anymore.
hopefully both are good fights, cotto/mayorga's card doesnt sound too good either....

yea he's a brutal knockout waiting to happen so i guess that's a good thing. let's hope he doesn't embarrass himself and try to box.

[QQQQQQQ]

agreed, i live on the eastcoast but this belongs in ireland. **** lou dibella

If it was in New York i would be a bit annoyed ...but ive never even heard of the place its on!!

Us irish have been waiting for this fight long before Manny vs Floyd drama....Haye vs Wlad!!

Lou DiBella and Bob Arum do it for the fans not the money!

We coulda sold out any arena in Ireland 10,20,30 thousand! and they woulda made more money nearly!!

[UglyPug]

i talked to manny, he is going to be working with both fighters. splitting his time training them both. these are gimme wins for both cotto and lee. stewart knows that, so on fight night he will be with cotto. cotto is also the superstar, and thus more $$$$$. he knows lee won't have any problems with feather fisted duddy. lee might actually stop him. i love duddy but i also think this is a good retirement fight. maybe a fight against a light hitter like foreman or something on cotto undercard in MSG or something.
