If you think Hunter can put Dunne away you must read this...

For those who think Michael Hunter can put Dunne away, put a few $$$ where your mouth is. In turn, I'll put a few pounds where my mouth is. I'll put up 20 pounds against anyone willing to put up 20 US Dollars on Hunter. Whether it's a decision or knockout, it doesn't matter, all that matters is who wins. Any takers? Of course, we'll have to wait until the fight is closer (and actually made)... but this is just a preliminary deal, no done-deals here yet.

Um bit premature wouldnt ya say? I'll have a bet matey when its a done deal, could be next year ya never know in boxing.

Justin · Post by **Justin** » 30 Jan 2006, 16:53

Oh yea, another stipulation... This fight must happen before September, as I'll be in Iraq after that.

Alot of people on here think Michael cant box? But what tactics would you use when you are knocked down in the first 2 rounds, try to out box a very good boxers (Esham) or would you try and go all out for it? Hmm the cards would be a ask when you've lost the first 10-8... Some of you guys on here dont know that Michael was double ABA amature champ, i mean he is the shit guys im tellin ya, Ian McNeilly is a guy who imo knows his boxing and as stujones said "has been harping on bout Hunter" i dont think he'd make him is favorite boxer ect for nothing, he's obviously seen something in Mick which he belives in. He's got a great team behind him ex British Heavyweight title challenger David Garside, who beat Glenn Mclorry. Neil Fannon his trainer too, another top bloke. Guys stop sayig Micheal cant box, alot of you only seen 1 of his fights, ive seen them all. Thanks

Not necessarily true Dunne beat that Ukranian guy Voronin by 2 or 3 rounds yet only just got the decision by a single point

I would back Hunter to beat Dunne if they fought, but i am not willing to bet on it

I've seen many a post on here saying blah blah Hunter lacks boxing skills, lot of heart lack of skill. I wouldnt say it if it wernt *ucking true

Is that you McNeilly?

Razor · Post by **Razor** » 31 Jan 2006, 16:05

Michael is the most underated fighter in England, every fight is a good old fashioned tear up. He will tear Dunne like a piece of paper i reakon. Any of you guys come to watch it when it happens? Maybe we can meet up for a few drink ect?

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 31 Jan 2006, 16:09

Hunter is good but Dunne looks pretty decent himself, I think its a close fight I'm edging toward Dunne personally. Should be a good fight whoever wins.

Alright alright, i didnt see anyone saying that he couldnt box in this thread though. Im irish so im with dunne in this one should be a cracker hope it comes off this year cos i will definitely be going. Showing my ignorance now but does hunter fight at home a lot and were is home? assuming the fight would be there as hunter is champ.

Justin · Post by **Justin** » 31 Jan 2006, 18:54

Razor,
You're the winner... you get the bet, if it happens before September. If it doesn't come off this year, I'll probably come out betting if it happens next year, too (anytime after March, that is). I don't suppose we'll get RTE in Iraq, ha!

Noel Wilders was very complementary towards Dunne, especially his power when commenting after their recent fight. He has experience of sparring Hunter and boxing Dunne and gave Bernard the egde.

See Thomas Mohan's report at BBN.

I think it could be an excellent fight and I would be hard pressed to pick a a winner. Dunne was given a huge build up whist in the West Coast with Freddy Roach, whilst Hunter has quietly refined his skills in unfashionable Hartlepool...Right now I would fancy the grit of Hunter over the flash on Dunne but I am far from certain with that pick.
