Next for Dunne

Next for Dunne?

I'd say a party and a few days off.;)

Martinez rematch?

Martinez isn't even in the picture, nor should he be.

My view is for Dunne to make hay while the sun shines. Take it easy and get some easy defences if you can. I am still very very unsure
about his punch resistance. Cordoba isn't a heavy puncher and Dunne was hurt so many times.

I can't believe I am saying this, but Bernard, go make one or two easy
defences, make a mint and get out healthy. You have nothing
tp prove and in against a puncher could be very dangerous.

I would love to see Bernard avenge the Kiko fight, but it's still
a massive risk. Ther are many in the 122 lb division that
are simply too heavy handed and strong.

Hopefully Rendall Munroe

McCullough has said he wants to fight Dunne.

Is that true?

Wayne is a disgrace to be still trying to shove himself
in the ring. Ponce is simply too hard for Bernard. I say take
it easy and go for an easy few wins.

The guys rated below Dunne, some are very good.
He has options, use them and make the dough Bernard!

Kiko is 42?? That's mad. I know he lost twice to Munroe, but
to be that far behind a guy you KO'd. It's mad, so
many rating differences. Lets all use 1 and stick to
that

Bernard needs moving up, Cordoba down and that's a better rate system IMO
You may be criticised for making easy defences, but it's the smart move.

If Dunne meets and beats KIko, I will retire and will forever
applaud Dunne. Go get him Bernard and do it!

yeah boxrec, ibo or ring. they even differ from one to the next but are more spot on then any of the orgs. Bernard and co should look to keep improving, train like that everytime and improve every fight now

Dunne is now a super bantamweight champion!!!!

Here is another one; Juan Manuel Lopez, 24-0, 22KO, maybe Dunne will fight him in the future:

Now that he is past Cordoba, Dunne is close to fighting the top of the division!! How will Dunne fare against the top of the division?

Who will he fight next?

Dunne against Lopez is insane man, Lopez would KO Dunne first round I'd bet my house on it.

What about kimura of japan or the italian maludrottu (not big hitters)and do you think dunne will fight in the challengers country, the way cordoba came to fight here??

Not a hope he'll travel. This is all about business and money and he'd be
mad to travel. Dunne is now guaranteed big big bucks here.

He should, and I think will, take on one or two "easier" opponents.
It's far too risky meeting top 5 men and a lot of those
below him are very very bad for him.

Keep well away from hitters!

He and his team should be very selective and to be honest, they
have had plenty of practice.

For once, I will encourage them to be selective. Only take
the "dangerous" fights when forced to!

What's the official stance on it all?

Okay, I assume his first defence can be voluntary; when does he have to meet
a mandatory or really rated guy?

What's the time frame?

Can he even side step this mandatory? Or would that result in
him being stripped?

If regulations are followed correctly he must make a mandatory within 7 months I believe(9 months from when Cordoba won the title). He must make a mandatory defence every 9 months unless he's injured.

His mandatory will likely be Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, the fighter who Cordoba lost a split decision to in Thailand.

He can have as many voluntaries as he wants in the mean time, however considering his cuts that'll probably be one.

It wouldn't be surprising if Dunne didn't have to defend against his mandatory till a little later though, the sanctioning bodies(bar the IBF) aren't always fickle about enforcing mandatories unless it suits them. So he may get longer than 7 months.

If he doesn't defend against a mandatory when stipulated and hasn't suffered an injury he would be stripped of his title.

If he successfully defends his title in a mandatory defence he would be scheduled to face the WBA Super-Champion(presently Celestino Caballero) before his next mandatory after that arises.

Well if he was to take on munroe do you reckon he'd have the balls to fight him in england as id say there wouldnt be much a difference in fight earnings if he was to box over there instead of here??

And i would really fear for dunne if he was to fight this guy:eek:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1376407/07_june_2008_ponce_de_leon_vs_juan_manuel_lopez_rd_1/

What !, ?


You do know Munroe fights in leisure centres and only on Friday Fight Night on Sky ?

He doesn't generate anymore cash than a British champion would and there's no way that fight would make as much money in England.
There isn't one fight where Dunne could make more money in another country.


Hence it makes sense to make all of his defences in Ireland.

I think this guy http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=272757&cat=boxer should be dunnes first defence , can't get the wba rankings on net but i'm sure he up high enough as he has a minor wba belt.

He's 3rd and a good option for a reasonable defence.
He was scheduled to face Steve Molitor in a defence of Molitor's IBF title until he ****ed up by drawing with Garcia.

I'd love to see him challenge all comers but you've got to be realistic here. He'll should get a few easy defences under his belt before he takes on any of the top boys. There's a few up there I thinnk he'd take, Molitor being one. Similar boxing skills and neither a big hitter, but if you watch Dunne v Cordoba and Molitor v Caballero there's a huge difference in heart, dermination and stamina.
Also, all fights will be in Ireland, without doubt. The only pity is this division doesn't have any household names the general public know, otherise he could fill an outdoor stadium.
