    Not the right fight for Duddy IMO but anyway which channel will it likely be on? Hopefully not the cursed ESPN 2 so there won't be trouble with streaming. His last one was on sky but that was because of the heavyweight fight. Boxrec doesn't say anything yet. Any ideas?

    maybe setanta might show it, not to sure :confused:
    don't really rate Duddy to be honest, couldn't see him last with any of the big boys. Pavlik would ko him 1-3 same as Taylor, Abraham would stop him late on
    He exciting to watch but won't last very long with the style he has

    Setanta {The Home of Haye} have made no mention of a John Duddy fight. In fact, I have never seen Duddy fight on Sellotanta. Duddy has been an ESPN/HBO/SKY/RTE fighter for as long as I can remember. Setantas next big advertised "live" fight {tape delayed} will be Klitschko-Thompson as well as a David Haye fight vs TBA. {Toughest Bum Available}

    I reckon it won't be shown on tv , it's a pretty low key card with a low key main event . This is just for Duddy to get a nice , good looking win under his belt so that he can be manouvered into a title shot .

    It seems he may have to wait a while though , Pavlik is picked to face Rubio next(unless a fight with Calzaghe can be agreed) and Abraham could quite possibly be after that .

    Duddy's fight with Bonsante was live on Setanta. They showed Lee's KO of Carl Daniels too that night. He shouldn't need more than a couple of rounds to get rid of Howe anyway, has all the makings of a confidence booster for Duddy.

    I reckon he'd have given Pavlik a better fight that Lockett did. He'd still get murdered but at least he'd have a go. Lockett's "attempt" was pretty pathetic.

    Lockett sucked major balls that night. Steve Bunce said he didn't freeze.

    He froze. The chap was utter kak.

    Duddy would have at least piled forward with both hands until his cuts got too bad.

    PS the Bonsante fight was ages ago.:pac: well spotted anyways.

    His last fight with Schimet was supposed to be that fight. I'd like to think it was the window of time for the cuts to heal that nixed it, but in truth not even HBO would have the balls to try and sell it to the fans after how easily Schimet found Duddys head time and time again.
