i think he'll be beaten soundly. his opponent is vastly superior and another level above martinez. i think dunne has shown his heart isn't there since he applied for the fire brigade. i'd go for a fifth round knock out in this fight. i used to have good time for dunne but he just lacks power and has a weak chin. he boxes like a fighter at the olympics.

Dunne will go down in the 2nd and the fight will be stopped in the third!

He seems well in control but that clash of heads opened him up and could cause him trouble.
Edit: A hell of a lot can change in three minutes, great round for Cordoba

He nearly walloped the ref there

**passinginterest** · 21/03/2009, 11:07 PM

seriously entertaining fight. Dunne just ahead on points?

**tiktok** · 21/03/2009, 11:10 PM

I'd imagine Dunne is ahead alright, could be tight enough though.

**oscar** · 21/03/2009, 11:18 PM

that should do it

**sligoman** · 21/03/2009, 11:18 PM

Looks like Dunne has it.

He wins it.

**passinginterest** · 21/03/2009, 11:19 PM

Great day for the Irish!

Cordoba looks to be in a very bad way. Hope he's OK.

**Magicme** · 21/03/2009, 11:21 PM

Whooohooooo!!! What a fight. The best way to win a world title is a real battle. Oh my god. What a great night. Hope Cordoba is ok.

**Dunny** · 21/03/2009, 11:21 PM

Brilliant!

**sligoman** · 21/03/2009, 11:21 PM

Hope Cordoba's alright. He's still out

**oscar** · 21/03/2009, 11:23 PM

he took a bit of a pounding there but he seems to be moving

**tiktok** · 21/03/2009, 11:23 PM

Cordoba still on the floor getting attention, looks in a very bad way, he is moving though.
He was out on his feet after the second count, should have been stopped.
Fair play to Dunne, I honestly didn't think he had a performance like that in him.

**sligoman** · 21/03/2009, 11:24 PM

Luckily, it seems he's going to be alright. Moving again.

**pete** · 21/03/2009, 11:32 PM

Super fight, real slugfest. Dunne looked out of it when he took two counts in the 5th but showed a lot of guts to fight back. He also took a lot of hits from Cordoba which will surely enhance his reputation alongside the KO.

I liked the way Dunne checked on Cordoba before he started to celebrate.

**adamcarr** · 21/03/2009, 11:46 PM

Fair play to Dunne! He deserved it, a brilliant fight to end a brilliant day.

**tetsujin1979** · 22/03/2009, 12:52 AM

Dunne's win by knockout over Cordoba was impressive, probably the best I've ever seen him fight, far more intelligent than I've seen him box in the past. I'm delighted to see him join the list of Irish World Champion boxers.

Great day, great day.

Congratulations also to Andy Lee and Katie Taylor on their victories.
