Hunter v Dunne
Hunter v Dunne
How does everyone see this one go?
Dunne has shown great improvement since moving down to Super Bantam.I just think Hunter is too one dimensional and can be outboxed. I think Dunne would dominate him from the outside and soften Hunter up for a late stoppage. But Dunne really needs to cut out the showboating which does him no favours.

Yeah I agree totally!! Hunter works like a dog, but is pretty limited technically!!Cannibal wrote:Because that is all you need to win fights these days.Jacko11 wrote:Have u seen Hunters work rate?
Workrate V Technique....
all I say is Jamie McKeever V Jackson Asiku
Thats not to say Dunne is as good, or punches as hard as Asiku, I'm merely illustrating the point that technique is far more important.
It would be interesting but I would favour dunne, used to think Hunter was the bomb - but looked like he has found his level since winning the EBU title.
Think Dunne can outbox him, and has enough power to hurt him too. Although, I'm sure Hunter will raise questions of Dunne and I wouldn't really like to call it.

Yeah, Dunn would very much dance Pickerings dance, and it would suit Esham far more than the punishing pace of Hunter. Esham has far more experience than Dunn, and Dunne would keep the pace within Eshams comfort zone.stujones wrote:Styles makes fights and all, he might struggle more against Esham than Hunter - again too tough for me to confidently predict, but if a gun was at my head and I had to make a call - I would say Yes.Jacko11 wrote:U think Dunne would do Pickering?
To be honest Pickering was leagues better than Hunter, and it was only his distinct lack of power which let Hunter back into it. Hunter then out hustled him.
Dunn would beat Hunter, but would probably get beaten by Pickerings slick style.
I think Dunne would take Hunter on points , but be severely tested throughout . Hunter's got a long reach and a good jab which is what will cause Dunne the most problems as he often has the reach advantage in his fights .
However I feel Dunne will be too slick and that left to the body would slow anyones workrate .

Nice to see ya jacko mate, i was thinkin of goin down to Blackpool for the fight but work, you goin mate?Jacko11 wrote:How does everyone see this one go?
My take on this is Hunter goes absolutely crazy on this guy and stops him in 3, then i come on box rec and laugh at all you Dunne nuthuggers, Dunne hasn't fought no where near the people that Hunter has.
Re: Hunter v Dunne
Dunne is 2 years younger than Hunter and has had less fights, he is now at the stage where he wants to step it up. I always hate people who dismiss a fighter just because he has not fought as long or as much as the other fighter. Just because he hasn't put himself in a big fight yet, doesn't mean he'll bottle it when he does. And if you think that Hunter with no huge punching power will stop a good boxer like Dunne in 3 then you are the nuthugger my friend.Razor wrote:Nice to see ya jacko mate, i was thinkin of goin down to Blackpool for the fight but work, you goin mate?Jacko11 wrote:How does everyone see this one go?

He's taking the piss , Razor will favour his man Hunter but knows it's a 50/50 fight . This is a much more interesting fight than Hunter v Pickering II .Cannibal wrote:Dunne is 2 years younger than Hunter and has had less fights, he is now at the stage where he wants to step it up.

Hunter is fighting Tuncay Kaya tonight(and will win) after that he has the option of facing Pickering his mandatory around September/October or facing Dunne (#2 with EBU) as a voluntary and facing Pickering 3 months after that .Terence wrote:Why is the fight listed differently on Boxrec and BBN?

No need for the wink because if he beats Dunne and Pickering his next fight would definetly be for a world title(or an eliminater) .Razor wrote:Hopefully a world title is comin soonBigEars wrote:Hunter is fighting Tuncay Kaya tonight(and will win) after that he has the option of facing Pickering his mandatory around September/October or facing Dunne (#2 with EBU) as a voluntary and facing Pickering 3 months after that .Terence wrote:Why is the fight listed differently on Boxrec and BBN?

However , Vasquez would destroy him and so would Sithchatchawel .
Leaving Daniel Ponce De Leon(WBO) who seems like a real banger , 28-1-0(26inside) and the vacant IBF title .
Just had a look at the IBF website and things seem very interesting .
As they often do the #1+#2 places are not rated as they like to use eliminaters to fill these . In third we have Gabula Vabaza of South Africa and in fourth Michael Hunter .
The IBF have Pickering #12 at Featherweight . So it seems like whoever emerges as the top man in Europe between the trio of Hunter , Dunne and Pickering will end up in an IBF eliminater or will get a title shot .

Dunne will hammer hunter on last nights performance, a brother of mine who knows very little about boxing watched dunnes last fight and the fight last night turned round and said to me "dunne will batter this guy".
If the french lad could have punched a bit harder then hunter would have been out of there.
