I am amazed at some of the opinions on here, Dunne done very well Saturday night but lets not get carried away.

He was wobbling everytime time he got hit as was the ex champion and it now turns out the x champion struggled to make the weight and was weight drained and just to throw more controversey into this Dunne was behind on all official scorecards, I actually had Dunne 2 rounds down going into the 11th. I must say that I was very impressed with his heart and determination which was the key factor. Unless Dunne is matched very carefully he will not reign for long and even in boxing the best laid plans and carefull matching does not work out. Points in case Khan v Prescott, Napa on Friday night.

As for the post suggesting a shift of power from Munroe to Dunne that is laughable, I have chosen a path for Munroe and I also now believe we are still in the driving seat and Munroe's route is mapped out.

Also Dunne needs Munroe more than Munroe needs Dunne.

The Munroe v Dunne fight makes the most sense and will draw the biggest crowd but it is still a long way off.

It is up to Ireland's to Don King if he wants to make the fight. That is the only ace he does hold but I stick to my statement Munroe does not need Dunne.

Well done Mr Peters and Mr Dunne I congratulate on a gamle that paid off.http://forum.boxrec.com/posting.php?mod ... &p=1693580#

Sounds to me like you don't want to take the risk of the fight, afterall Rendall can make plenty of money defending his European title till he's ready for retirement.

Dunne was way down on the scorecards yes, I personally had him one down(having watched the fight back), and it turns out the ko was needed and he got the job done.

I'd like to see Dunne v Munroe happen but I don't think Peters should go out of his way to do it.
If you're confident your man will win then you'll make the match and make it before Dunne's 'short reign' is over.

Well Ring mag have Munroe at #9 or #10 at super bantam, so technically it's a world level title defence.

Most of Dunne's opponents - apart from Cordoba, Pickering and Martinez - are obscure. Is he going to make title defences against obscurities? If he does that would be a terrible shame.
Will you change the record, Pickering, Veronin, Walstad, Martinez, Cordoba, were not obscure. Funny how Yuri Veronin was not "obscure" when Nicky Cook fought him.
At least Dunne did not opt to fight a part time taxi driver in a defense of his European title!

He will if they pick the wrong first Defence, I think some of you guys are getting carried away on here with Dunnes win. It was a go win and he did very well but he not the second coming. You might find out that he might be the same as nicky cook was, Lost in his first defence, So you Irish boys do not get to carried away i hate to see growing man cry.Plus Monroe would beat Dunne everyday of the week. All round he to big and strong for him.

You see it's your attempts at sarcasm (Ireland's Don King, etc) that make me think that you are as bitter and jealous as f%*k and deep down you are raging that Dunne won.
I have a dvd of a part time taxi driver named Fabrizio Trotta clearly out boxing Munroe for at leat 3 rounds, so before you start slagging off Dunne's performance against a world rated boxer maybe you should start worrying about your own boxers average performances against dire opposition.
Dunne proved that he has a good chin, he was wobbled and down but still kept going, and came back stronger, that shows that he has a good chin, so stop trying to pick holes in his performance.
As for Cordoba being weight drained, it was harder for Dunne to make the weight and even if Cordoba was spot on the weight, Dunne would still be WBA champ right now.
If Peters has not yet read these comments I think someone should point him to them and then maybe Ireland's Don King will tell you to get f*$ked and go back to your Leisure Centres.
I actually feel sorry for Munroe, he seems like such a nice guy, but your comments and attitude as his manager really turn people against him.

Thought you had enough of the anoraks frank.

Think dunne will go down the steve molitor route after winning a world title and fight hand selected opponents for a year or two and wait for the names in the divison to get old. Whoever Dunne fights he will sell out the O2 everytime. Maybe hes big enough for a stadium fight as well. Bernard will get rich over the next couple of years me thinks.

Yeah knowitall, but unlike Cook, Munroe, etc, Bernard Dunne was star material early on. With all his exceptional handspeed and so on. And the American build up. Then when he fought in Ireland he was getting great support. Beating Cordoba makes up some serious ground, however.

Voronin, Walstad - nothing to write home about.

I think some big name fighters would probably want to cash it in by fighting a popular and exciting guy like Dunne. I mean some of the heavy hitters who'd maybe see Dunne as a good way to make money. Guys like Vazquez, who have to go WW3 vs the elite every time to make their living. Guys like Caballero, who have to travel - despite being champ - and beating up the homeboys. I reckon a lot of super bantams and featherweights will want to fight Dunne.

I'd be well excited to see these fights:

Dunne-Munroe - winnable, good story, nice bit of animosity. A glorified domestic clash, also respectable on world scene given that Munroe is seen as a top 10 world rated fighter.
Dunne-Poonsawat - top contender, winnable (Poonsawat up from bantam), solid amtchup as the Thai is experienced, and won some kind of elim.
Dunne-Caballero - this could be the McGuigan v Pedroza of 2009. Dunne likely gets battered.

Will Dunne move up to featherweight, eventually? Say, if he lost his title, would he move up a division?

Dunne wants to retire by the age of 32 so I can't see a move to featherweight but you never know.
This is what I would like to see, unlikely as it may be.

Dunne making some easy defense of his title.
Munroe taking his mandatory challenger Malludrottu and then go on to a world title shot, maybe IBF, WBO, and if he could show us all what his fans see in him and pull out an extraordinary win like Dunne just did...
Dunne V Munroe for unification in Croke Park 2010!!!

I see what you're saying about Dunne, but as big a star as he was at the beginning of his carrer, he still needed to take small steps just like every other boxer out there trying to build up their career.
Veronin and Walstad are a lot better than Trotta and Martirosyan, it has to be said.

Can't believe i agree with DG on this matter, I was very impressed with Dunne i had him maybe 2-3 rounds down before the KO's but was thinking if it reached the final bell i would not have been surprised no matter who they declared the winner as it was a close well matched fight.
But where have all these Dunne fans crawled from all of a sudden ? I am maybe biased towards Munroe as he's a local fighter but the Dunne fans must wear blinkers, calling Munroe a limited fighter when Dunne was knocked out by a very one dimensional fighter in the way of Martinez, theres only one way to calm the Irish boys (who have just had there best ever weekend in sport) is to get Munroe v Dunne on in the summer. I would be extremely confident of a Munroe UD then lets here what Slingoboy, Knowsitall and moorser have to say ?

Yeah Dunne got caught with a doozy on the top of the head that would have put anyone down in that Martinez fight.
Funny you say Martinez is a one dimensional boxer, I agree 100% but the only claim to fame Munroe has is beating this one dimensional,limited fighter Martinez, so how does that make Munroe anything special, please explain.
Munroe has never fought anyone of Dunne's calibre, Dunne has fought and beaten better than Munroe, so where you get your Munroe UD bullshit is beyond me.
Dunne comprehensively beat a former European, British and Commonwealth title holder, Esham Pickering, to win the European title. Munroe beat a one dimensional boxer, Martinez to win his.
Why do all you lot simply hark on about the Martinez loss, is that all you've got?!

You only have to watch Munroe box and you can see he is a very talented boxer, what makes me laugh is i bet you have never even watched him box, Dunne has fought and beat better than Munroe ??? how have you came up with that piece of shit untill the other night Dunne hadn't boxed anyone as good as Munroe :roll:

Theres only 1 fight i want more than Munroe v Dunne and that is Dunne v Martinez 1st, if Dunne could KO Martinez i would be very impressed as Dunne must struggle against one dimensional fighters

If Munroe is too big and too strong for Dunne, why wasn't he too big and too strong for Cordoba ?
Do you regret not making the fight now ?

You pretty much admitted on Bunce's show that you felt it wasn't a winnable fight at the time.

dont worry mate we have been here all along . i tried to tell all the munroe fans that dunne is the real deal but they wouldnt listen comin out with all this crap like , i dont honestly belive what you see in him (dunne) they were saying , but we knew all along we have been following his carear for the last 4 years and knew he was of star quality , freddie roach wouldnt waste his time otherwise , I personally hope dunne fights munroe in his first defence and puts all this too bed , because dunne is too skillfull for munroe and munroe hasnt got the power to knock him out . I personally dont think frank moloney wants this fight to happen though after the other night which is a shame because it would be a great event and a good fight . I was at the munroe trotta fight and munroe was pants , he was lucky trotta hurt himself

dont be marking be down as a Dunne nuthugger - I tipped Cordoba to win and put money on it. I just think BD deserves praise for his achievement, it was an awesome fight and the atomosphere was incredible - I've never seen anything like it before.

DG was acting like a wank on a few threads and couldnt just say well done, instead he posted pics of Kiko and Bernard - zero class.

Thats why I suggested he should STFU.

I have never disrespected Munroe ever, I have had nothing but praise for him - however, I think the guy took a gamble not taking the biggest money fight of his career against Bernard when he could of done and now has possibly missed the boat.

Even the biased as f&%k Sky Sports commentators were not too impressed with Munroe last time out against the limited Matinez.
As for Dunne not being good against one dimensional boxers, he boxed rings around Faccio who is similar to Martinez, so that's that theory out the window!

He definitely did not box rings round Faccio, and Munroe boxed very well in the second half of the fight against Martinez and if you think otherwise i suggest you re-watch the fight or climb out of Dunne's arse so you can get a better view. Munroe is a slow starter has been in all of his recent fights it's the second half of his fights where he gets the measure of his opponents and takes over the ref could have easily stopped the Munroe v Martinez fight in the last fight ( and made me a rich man :lol:) in the last round.

I would call dictating 90% of a fight and winning all 7 rounds of the fight even with a horrendous cut, boxing rings around Faccio.
Maybe your idea of a good boxer is a guy with bulging muscles, do you have a hard on for Munroe, is that it?

Dunne is the one with the world title belt, the one who sold 10000 tickets at the o2 arena. Munroe could only sell around 2000 in Barnsley ffs, how does Dunne 'need' Munroe? Munroe has little or no name recognition in Ireland, nobody really give sh1t whether Bernard defends against him.
And who else is Munroe going to fight for a world title? Vasquez? Caballero? Lopez? He wouldn't last 5 minutes with any of them. Munroe certainly does need Dunne, but I hope Peters tells you and him to fvck off when you come to him begging for a shot.

dont be marking be down as a Dunne nuthugger - I tipped Cordoba to win and put money on it. I just think BD deserves praise for his achievement, it was an awesome fight and the atomosphere was incredible - I've never seen anything like it before.

DG was acting like a wank on a few threads and couldnt just say well done, instead he posted pics of Kiko and Bernard - zero class.

Thats why I suggested he should STFU.

I have never disrespected Munroe ever, I have had nothing but praise for him - however, I think the guy took a gamble not taking the biggest money fight of his career against Bernard when he could of done and now has possibly missed the boat.
Shut up, Fool!

I gave his dues, but you got you panties got in a twist.

But where have all these Dunne fans crawled from all of a sudden ?
