Wonderful fight. I think malnourishment knocked your man out in the end though.

Legendary fight, Dunne won about eight rounds. Hope Cordova recovers, looks like he's in a bad way. But...

Go on the Ireland!!!

Seriously the best day in Irish sport for a long time.

Great day for Irish sport. Woop!

edit: although, technically, they weren't the same day right? :pac:

Saibh

I don't know too much about boxing, but I thought the ref should have ended the match sooner?
Was the ref right in letting it continue?

Not a bad day at the office for the irish...not a bad day at all

Great day for Irish sport, but I don't like Dunne [don't hate me!]. He's like a wee cocky cock fighter. It's all bells and whistles when he wins but when he loses he looks like a twit. Andy Lee has a far better personality when it comes to competition. I would rather see him as Ireland's main boxing prospect.

Dunne is the man, what a day...the way we all feel now, I reckon we could win the world cup of hurling!:D

Who wouldn't want to be Irish right now?

Well done to dunne but have to say he irritates me,he reminds me of robbie keane,happy as larry when he wins but always has an excuse or blames someone else when loses.
Was hoping that he'd be shown up by cordoba tonight,think dunne having home crowd behind him was big advantage(as always is).

Andy Lee is much more gracious fighter and an all round good guy I really like him everytime i see him fight he puts on great show.
Also good for limerick as most of stuff ya hear in news is bad so sure he'l inspire a lot of young lads to learn discipline of boxing.
Katie Taylor has me wanting to sign up to local boxin club!

A lot of people talking crap about Bernard Dunne. I doubt you've even heard him talk. He's a gentleman, a family man and a fireman!

He's very humble and as it turns out a world level fighter.

thusspakeblixa

I'll put up my hands and say that I wrote Dunne off but I'm so glad that he's proved me wrong.
Andy Lee fought very well too.
What a day.

Well done Dunne, wonderful fight from start to finish. Yer man gave it absolute socks, hope he's alright.

Now all we need to do is win The World Cup.

rovers2001

Fantastic fight tonight and superb entertainment and yes some previous posts are spot on about Dunne been a cocky so and so but the bottom line is he put up a hell of a fight tonight against a very difficult opponent (hope he is ok) and is A Champion of the world!!!!!!.

Hurling's actually very popular in Dublin.

i know hurling has progressed in dublin in the last few years, and fair play to ye too, pity the attitude of most of you're supporters hasn't...

Fair play to Dunne, but the fight looked like a draw all the way. He will get his ass kicked again once he fights without the home support.

What's a scab?

Delighted to see Dunne win, incredible fight. People dislike him on completely unreasonable grounds, even to the point of making stuff up about him or what they perceive him to be. I'd be willing to place a large bet that these ignorant begrudgers were born outside the Pale. It's classic Irish begrudgery but Bernard has proved everybody wrong and I'm delighted.

More absolute nonsense. I don't even know what you're referring to.

ok bells and whistles when he wins?? and when he loses he looks like a twit? ... newsflash- he's lost once!!! and he recovered so well from that. i think dunne is a great fella. He comes across as a nice guy and he's represents the sport very well. Andy Lee is a similar type guy- good boxer and a decent skin. A load of people doubted me when i said Dunne was world class- but he proved it to all the doubters tonight!

Cocky compared to whom? Mother Theresa?

He's confident, he believes himself, what boxer doesn't...he's not smug, arrogant and he doesn't strut around the place.

Anyway, I'll sign out, I'm emotionally drained. Well done to Bernard and the Irish rugby team.

token56

Fair play, fair play, he showed he has real guts tonight, he deserves this win and i hope Cordoba is ok and recovers quickly.

In fairness cockiness comes with the territory in Boxing......think of Ali, Tyson, Naseem, Eubank, Mayweather- to name but a few

He lost once. He apologised and admitted he was caught cold and vowed to train harder and come back stronger. I was actually impressed with his humility after that fight.

I find that it tends to be people from outside of Dublin who mostly look down on him. In my experience anyway it's always my country mates looking for the "little Jackine" to slip up. Confidence is something you need as a boxer, some people see it as arrogance but it's all part and parcel of the game.

Robbie Keane is a moany git though.
