Duddy one is live on RTE and BBC Northern Ireland so shaping up to be some night in front of the box.steve689 wrote:I imagine Duddy will be on www.rte.ie/live unless Setanta pick it up instead.
Belfast boxing - 2 dates in a week! WHAT!!!!
Tickets are selling like hot cakes (Mccullogh v Martinez). Havent heard about duddys fight tho.fatton wrote:Crazy trying to do a show like that anyway without tv money especially with the Duddy one on the following week. Any odds up on that yet, fancy a punt on Howard.steve689 wrote:Rumour is the 1st December show is on the rocks. Not too surprised but was hoping it would still go ahead
Mccullough arrives in Belfast next friday.
Persoanlly, I would rather go to the mccullough fight cos the duddy fight is on RTE AND BBC northern Ireland!
Mate, trust me the theres more chance of Eastman pulling out of Duddys fight than there is of the mccullogh v martinez being cancelled.steve689 wrote:I know a few people who have bought tickets for both, i am obviously hoping it goes ahead but it was just what i heard that it was looking unlikely.
Duddy-Eastman seems sound enough, Eastman was on the radio the other night talking about it and they have fight posters up in West Belfast.
Where you getting this from, can't remember Eastman pulling out of any other fights before and this is a big chance for him. A win over Duddy will probably get him a decent payday in the U.S. and possibly even another title shot.Ted wrote:Mate, trust me the theres more chance of Eastman pulling out of Duddys fight than there is of the mccullogh v martinez being cancelled.steve689 wrote:I know a few people who have bought tickets for both, i am obviously hoping it goes ahead but it was just what i heard that it was looking unlikely.

Its not a reflection on Eastman, I think hes the business.steve689 wrote:Duddy's name and reputation stateside means an Eastman win would project him into another payday possibly in the US, i agree with you Fatton. He doesn't have a rep himself for pulling out of fightd but rather for not performing to his best when the heat is on.
I hope its all hunky dory
He sounds up for it in the radio ad anywaysteve689 wrote:Duddy's name and reputation stateside means an Eastman win would project him into another payday possibly in the US, i agree with you Fatton.

Bit tongue in cheek there I think billing it as the only show in town with the McCullough fight on the week before.
Duddy Camp Report - All is very well in New Bern, NC, USA. Condition is excellent, weight at 163, sparring is terrific and additude is superb. Don Turner says, "It's the best training camp I've ever had -- BAR NONE." (Apologies to Mssrs. Holyfield, Holmes, Pryor, etc., etc., etc.)
Tickets are going very well, considering the entire city of Derry is moving to the King's Hall on Dec. 8. The undercard alone could have generated an ample crowd of its own.
See you all there.

Good to hear that Jabby, sounds like it's going to be a night to remember! Keep up the good work and that means also getting more shows on in Belfast and getting it back on the Boxing map!Jabby wrote:Duddy Camp Report - All is very well in New Bern, NC, USA.

Don't count on that. I've been with John for 21 of his 22 bouts and caught a large majority of the weigh-ins. Unless Duddy has had a major character transplant, he will be his usual charming and gentlemanly self. I have yet to meet an opponent that hasn't said complimentry things about his demeanor. John is a very smart, charismatic person who even has his opponents admiring him. I have NEVER heard him say a derogatory remark to his adversary.steve689 wrote:Yes should be a good one, apparently Howard is well up for the Duddy fight and really fancies the job. Look out for some sparks at the weigh in
Nope. You need 2 to make sparks fly. If Mr. Eastman wants to travel that path, he'll be doing it on his own.
