    Hope he wins it. I think he's class the way he acts really confident the whole time, never seems worried about a fight at all. I know someday that will probably backfire on him but hopefully not tonight.

    This another stat padding fight, unless he gets cocky he should win. Noone on my road tonight even the scumbags gone to the fight. Its quite peaceful

    He wins it. Didn't think it'd go the whole way though, great challenger so fair play. Brilliant fight.

    Turned my head for a few minutes

    Did he cheat wnd open your mans cut up with his head??

    I wouldn't claim to be an expert but I think he should put his gloves up a bit more, box cleverer and not be so cocky or he could be in for a land someday

    Couldn't believe the amount of times he dived into close combat with your man - who was tough as nails

    The fact that his left hand is always dropped is his major fault and has been discussed many times, other than that he is a fine fighter although i dont think he will get a lot of knockouts. Having said that he looked a bit shaky in the last round, think everyone thought that yer man wouldnt last the 12.

    Dunne will not go any further than he already is I reckon. He is a good boxer but is lacking power. That Norwegian guy should have been on the deck in the first four rounds.

    Ïd fear for Dunne against a fighter of decent pedigree. Beating No marks from around Europe however...
    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    Was yer man not handy like?
    Hard to tell for a passing fan like me?

    Yer man Martinez and the Canadian are the only fights left for him but a big step up, correct?
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Your man was tough and powerful but a better fighter would have it wrapped up in the first six rounds. I feared for Dunne in the last couple of rounds because the Norwegian was going for it. It was similar to his fight against the Ukranian where he got walloped in the last round and was lucky not to be KO'd.

    This Spanish fella will be a different class of opponent. He's unbeaten and has 13 KO's to his name. Dunne will be doing really well if he wins it but >I wouldn't be extremely confident

    if mccullough had dunnes class, he would have won a title by now......i spose you can invert that and dunne could be a far better boxer, i think dunne will struggle against a silky opponent with power, he hasnt really come up against anyone like that lately.

    Martinez is ranked lower than Dunne but his record is OK. Molitar is seen as the weakeest of the 4 world champions, and as such Dunne's best chance of a World Title

    Although Boxrec can't always be relied on, they have Dunne ranked 11th in the world so there are plenty of step ups, just none in Europe. Molitar could be attracted to Dublin though

    ya i meant at featherweight, against some of the more famous boxers.

    Martinez is ranked lower than Dunne but his record is OK. Molitar is seen as the weakeest of the 4 world champions, and as such Dunne's best chance of a World Title

    Although Boxrec can't always be relied on, they have Dunne ranked 11th in the world so there are plenty of step ups, just none in Europe. Molitar could be attracted to Dublin though
    thing is to be a really class boxer you need to be able step up and win at another weight, dunne will never reach that, and he would get found out. its a real pity he hasnt the power to match his speed. keeping his left paw down the whole time is going to catch up on him too.

    andy lee mixed with dunnes speed would make for a great boxer

    I disagree on the stepping up point. Some fighters are awesome talents but just aren't suited to it, that's why Hatton stepped back down.

    Thats rubbish. Most of the little guys move up weight divisions as they get older but if someone was Featherweight champion for 6/7 years they could call themselves a world class fighter

    The ability to move up or down in weights means nothing

    from a pound for pound perspective maybe not, but all the greats can move up and still win thats my point.
