They want Munroe to win a title when he fights for one.
Vazquez?
Marquez?
Caballero?
Juanma Lopez?
Looks like the Irish have picked the most beatable champion. Cordoba may have beaten Caballero, but Caballero did way better since their meeting. Cordoba also has the poor half of the WBA title, the "regular" title not the "super" one. if he wins, it would be hard to call him a world champ as that organisation already has a champ (Caballero), a unified champ at that (IBF, WBA).
Cordoba may be better than Dunne, but it might be right weight, right time, right place, you never know. Flashy, popular fighters like Dunne do often get the chances that less fancy, underrated guys like Munroe.

Munroe was offered the fight first.
I think you mean some fighters TAKE the chances!
Stop with the "poor little underrated Munroe" BS, he has got more luck and chances than even Dunne has got ffs.

Is the Dunne-Munroe story fast becoming one tired, sorry saga or what?!

Is Dunne still just fast hands, no defence?

Ive seen an improvement in his defence since the martinez fight , but there's no doubt that he rely s heavily on his reflexes.Max Molyneux wrote:Is Dunne still just fast hands, no defence?

It'll be a great move regardless considering how much money he is making. Far better than fighting in front of 2000 in Barnsley. 8)FtmPress wrote:I believe Dunne has to chances in this fight slim and none and slim has just left the bar. Tell me it was a great move on saturday night after you see your man get his butt kicked.

I don't see Dunne winning at all to be honest, I reckon he'll last longer than he did against Martinez but I expect him to be stopped. I don't see either him or Munroe being champions in this division with those nutters at the top.

I give Dunne a chance. Cordoba is a skillful operator no doubt but can be outworked, as he was during some rounds during his fight with the shorter Sidorenko.

Wow I cant wait till tonight. Arsenal v Newcastle. Roma v Juventus and then Dunne v Cordoba and also a pretty decent undercard
I've gone for Cordoba on points at Befair, Dunne's defence has improved in recent fights but I fancy the champ to be a little bit too good for him because Cordoba is a very decent operator and although questions are going to be raised, he's the champ and U have more doubts about Dunne than him.

Why does Maloney treat boxing fans with such anger and disdain? You do realise the 'losers' on here are the last batch of fans boxing has left, don't you? Keep serving up Friday Shite Nights for us 'losers' because soon we'll all be gone.FtmPress wrote:Not really but boxing is like any other job is about earning the most money that why boxers box. In todays markets a fight needs a title to earn money.So if you are the best in your div. at british, europe or world is the managers and promoters job to earn his boxer the best money out there for the title he holds, So why paid the champion all of the money and have to sign away some of yours fighters wages. As long as Rendall keeps winning he will fight for a world title soon but when he does, he will be in a good place to get the best deal out there for him. And just a note to all you armchair managers if you were that good at handling fighters careers why not take up the job full time and stop playing at it.O but that way Frank W , Mick H, and myself are doing what we do and you lot are putting up post here and jerking of at the same time, Sorry chaps do not mean to upset you all but now and than some one has to tell you how it is in the real world.knowitall wrote:Yeah and that move for Munroe will be, try for the Dunne fight if he wins, back to fighting nobodies if Cordoba wins.

Easy to throw around insults about Dunne getting his "butt kicked" sitting ringside afraid to put your boy in the mix.
Wake me up when these boxing promoter geniuses step into the 21st century.

No dissing Frank Maloney.....
Personally I think Frank cares for his fighters, you only have to see his face and hear the emotion in his voice when hs fighter wins/loses.
Keep up the good work, Frank.
Ps, Fwank Warren might be the biggest promoter in the UK/Europe but in my book he serves up too much rubbish and fully warrants the FWANK title.
PS, also ask him why he clapped when Enzo Macc was hurt in the 3rd round againt Alo Afffllalallalalaalalabbiii!
PPS..Dunne getting MASHED tonight!

Fvcking hell, the Dunne supporters are a bit rabid aren't they?
and on the other side, Maloney - harsh words Frank. As if we all say the same thing.
Fave Maloney moments:
1) Scott Harrison knocks out a brittle Sam Kebede in sorry excuse for world title fight. I think it was the first shot he landed, maybe the 2nd. Frank gets quizzed on the fight, on how easily the guy was stopped. "Well, nobody can take the power of Scott Harrison." Timed to comic perfection, though it wasn't supposed to be funny.
2) David haye throwing about 2 punches a round, in bold attempt to go 12 rds for the 1st time. vs Abdoul. Sky camera catch a glimpse of Maloney - cinema verite! - wearing an absolute "WTF?" look on his face.

Vazquez maybe the man but the guy hasn't fought since Marquez 3 and might be shopworn enough for someone to dethrone. Dunne wouldn't dethrone him though and i doubt he'll want to cash out vs Munroe.banjo wrote:I don't see Dunne winning at all to be honest, I reckon he'll last longer than he did against Martinez but I expect him to be stopped.
