great shot to finish the fight from Dunne. He was in control for the majority of the fight but he took a few bangs on the chin and if he does that hands down shit against a top lad or even against a B class operater he will find himself on the canvas. He needs to brush up on his defence a bit but he has great foot movement and his punches are all textbook. I can see why all the hoopla was about him. One thing I was surprised by was that he landed with come SOLID shots and Betts took them well. I don't know if Betts just had a good chin, or maybe Dunne isn't the concussive hitter we were led to believe he was? Good performance all round.

Jacko hasn't been busy enough recently. Inactivity affects stamina.
Still a decent effort by the sound of it.

Well we only got some rounds but fron what I saw he was dropped early (ade a mistake of lowering his hand) and got up to keep going. he was hurt and exhausted for a lot of the fight and kept going. certainly has all heart. Eventually he got stopped by a left hook to the body. But heartwise, what an effort from what I saw.

Jacko, out of curiosity - you have now fought both Rock and Alan Jones (who fought to a draw a few years ago). Who did you think was the better fighter.

Unlucky with the defeat, I'm sure you will be back - just be positive a win over someone like Rock would probably mean a top ten ranking.

What about the early rounds before you were feeling tired? What round did you start feeling it?

I'd love a rematch but its sjust so dam hard to train and work and diet all at the SAME TIME... :roll:
my job (electrician) is hard enough and long enough hours...having to diet through the day and get back late then go to the gym i hardly see my mrs as it is....very hard decision for me to make i love the sport and yeah ur right i could box another two small halls and get a rematch im sure brian peters (the promoter) would get it on he was over the moon with my performance...will see :TU:
Stu first 2 rounds i came back to the corner and said to errol 'i felt great' but 4-5 onwards i just sank lowere and lower.basically i felt like a car with no fuel in at all
