Duddy
Will he finally fight Ronald Hearns after this or is it off indefinitely?
by Fooch on Feb 21, 2009 12:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
probably off for the time being
Duddy’s had all kinds of promotional issues and it looks like Arum and Top Rank are trying to work out a long-term deal with him, or at least a few fights, one of which is rumored to be a title shot at Pavlik later this year if he looks even decent against Vanda. Pavlik will kill Duddy, but it’ll do a nice house at MSG or in Atlantic City.

yeah there are four fights tonight
the three with the big features and the fourth is the Korobov vs Jones fight mentioned at the bottom. Sucks that my gf is coming to town tonight, I haven’t seen her in 2 months and she wants to go out. I was looking forward to seeing how Cotto and Pavlik did tonight. I will be reading the comments on here tomorrow to get a sense of how the fights went.

I don’t want to dwell on it, but did cotto get any reconstructive or plastic surgery? His face looks a little different from before the fight, which is understandable, but almost looks like he lived 2 extra years, and not 7-8 months. Just a thought.

Korobov-Jones R1
This should be short. Jones got his face smashed in a couple weeks ago on FNF by Shawn Porter.
Cory Jones is described as “not too shabby.” I would say he’s quite shabby. First 30 seconds contain little besides Jones trying to stay away. They call Shawn Porter “John Porter.”
Really nothing going on at all for the first half of the round. Left from Korobov. He’s been sticking it in here and there. Cory Jones has a hell of a story.
Dead round. Korobov isn’t out to kill this guy right away. Lotta probing. Left from Korobov. Crowd is booing. Horrible fucking round.
Korobov 10-9

Korobov-Jones R2
Stiff left from Korobov and Jones starts leaning on him. Wow this isn’t much of a fight at all. Korobov should steamroll this dude. Shawn Porter did. Come on, Matt. Or Cory. I don’t care. Someone make a fight.
Korobov is doing a bit more this round, but still not enough. Jones with a right. MSG crowd isn’t exactly taking to this fight. Korobov is easily controlling the fight but it’s just nothing at all so far. I mean you can clearly see who the better boxer is, but Jones is hanging around and not getting hurt at all. Korobov with a left, caught with a right in return.
Korobov 10-9
Korobov 20-18

Korobov-Jones R3
Pretty sure Top Rank was hoping for a highlight reel KO for Korobov for a big crowd to see. Not getting it so far. Shit if Jones would pressure he might have a shot.
Jones trying now but Korobov is too good defensively to leave openings for this guy. I would leave this fight if it ended now thinking Korobov completely lacks any killer instinct. He should seriously beat the crap out of Jones. He’s just not. He’s boxing just fine, but this style is not going to make him marketable in the States without great charisma, which he does not have. The MSG crowd is REALLY getting on this now.
Anyway, Korobov, who keeps sticking in a couple shots here and there and is easily winning this fight, could change his name to John Jones and it’s not going to make him any more easy to sell as a star with this type of action.
Korobov 10-9

Korobov-Jones R4
Korobov corner tells him not to worry about the KO or the crowd. Good advice in a bigger fight, but there’s no denying that at this rate he’s leaving this fight having sorely unimpressed many people given his hype and legitimate hype at that.
Korobov with a couple shots. He’s not going to end this thing with a minute left. He’s landed some nice lefts. Cory is crowding a lot — I think he’s just trying to survive these four grueling rounds. I guess that sounds sort of insulting; whatever, it’s a crap fight. I’m a consumer and a critic by nature. I know it takes balls to get in there for any fight against anyone, but bleh.
10 seconds left, MASSIVE COUNTER RIGHT HOOK BY KOROBOV AND THAT IS A HUGE KNOCKOUT

Duddy-Vanda R1
Duddy starting with a right and a left hook. Vanda throws a right to the stomach. Left hook to the body by Vanda. Duddy firing hard left hooks that wobble Vanda a bit. Vanda trying to set up a right, but Duddy’s keeping him at bay pretty well. Duddy working off the jab pretty well so far. Now they’re in tight and bulling each other. Vanda finding nothing. There’s a left hook to the body by Vanda.
Duddy with a nice combo that backs Vanda down. He’s deterring him very well thus far. Double left hook looks nice. He looks outstanding this round — I mean, it’s Matt Vanda, but Duddy does look very sharp, especially given the layoff.
Duddy 10-9

Duddy-Vanda R2
If this keeps up my Vanda upset pick sure as hell ain’t happenin’.
Nice counter right from Duddy as Vanda comes out a little more aggressive. Sharp jab from Duddy stings Vanda. Left hook from Duddy blocked by the glove, but he’s getting it off with ease. Vanda’s gotta land something big to get Duddy out of what is a very effective rhythm so far. Bernstein suggests getting in and roughing him up some. I agree. Lure the brawl. Duddy’s trying to be better defensively but fighters are who they are usually and he can be goaded, I bet.
Vanda’s blocking a lot this round, but not landing much back. He’s having a horrible time offensively, which is bizarre against Duddy. Two jabs from Vanda as Duddy backpedals. Vanda’s starting to get the jab in better. Nice right from Vanda, BIG right from Duddy. Now they might start to mix it up heavy.
Here they go…
Vanda’s landing big counter rights and Duddy’s still controlling, but it’s less complete than before. Round ends on a back-and-forth. This could kick off big soon.
Duddy 10-9
Duddy 20-18

Duddy-Vanda R3
Hard right to the body by Duddy. Left hook counter from Vanda lands clean. Vanda sweeps with a left hook. He really wants the toe-to-toe. Duddy, to his credit, keeps boxing more than ever before.
Right hand Duddy, Vanda smiles which means he felt it. Duddy has controlled this round beautifully with the jab. Vanda starts winging shots at the end of the round trying to steal it, but no, doesn’t happen.
Duddy 10-9

Duddy shoots a hook to the body. He’s in firm control. Duddy’s faster, stronger, seems more sure of his gameplan, and has taken Vanda out of this fight. Vanda’s got to start pressing because he can’t win a boxing match against Duddy. I said it.
NICE right from Vanda, but Duddy rocks him back. Duddy walked right through that and it was a hard shot. Duddy back to the jab now. I’m really impressed with what Pat Burns has done with him, and John’s willingness to work this style. I bet he’s feeling great about this performance since his face isn’t yet covered in blood.
Duddy ducks a left hook, bell sounds, another round to Duddy.
Duddy 10-9
Duddy 40-36

Duddy-Vanda R5
Duddy comes out still totally content to work the jab and see what it opens up. He’s dominating.
Now Duddy swings big shots as Vanda gets a little off balance. Good time to do it. This Duddy might actually not get curbstomped by Pavlik.
Vanda retreats to the ropes and almost falls over. Right hand Vanda. Now he goes southpaw for a moment. Duddy with a three-punch combo, blocked, and then a jab lands after. Vanda with a right to the body. Duddy pumps the jab three times in return. Vanda with a left hook to the body. Duddy fires a combo, Vanda puts the ear muffs up.
Duddy 10-9

Duddy-Vanda R6
CompuBox has Vanda landing at a higher percentage (39) than Duddy (38) but with far less thrown or landed. Duddy’s defense still isn’t great, but he’s not letting Vanda wing at will. That’s the difference.
Trading jabs at center ring now. Vanda has been able to accomplish so little. He’s off his game a little, but Duddy’s performance has a lot to do with that. He’s taking him apart.
Vanda misses a big overhand right and misses it badly. Vanda is trying to find a home for his right, and finally does land one, but this is another Duddy round.

Duddy-Vanda R7
My Vanda pick stunk. Damn you, improving John Duddy!
Vanda goes a bit low, referee doesn’t come in, Vanda acknowledges his low shot, they tap gloves and move on.
Vanda starting to throw some now, firing in combinations. There’s Duddy shooting a combo back. Vanda’s in this round with half of it left, which is something new for this fight. Right hand by Duddy. Vanda with a couple lefts as Duddy comes in the next time.
Vanda STINGS Duddy with a nice left hand after baiting him with shots to the body. Vanda really bringing some aggression this round. Nice right by Duddy. And another one. Closest round of the fight, but Duddy still won it.

Duddy-Vanda R8
Vanda’s corner: “Last couple rounds now, you gotta kick some ass.”
Vanda keeping up the aggression this round and it’s working a bit. Duddy is starting to retreat into the corner and this might start changing. Vanda with a hard hook to the body, and now Duddy is ready to war. And then he resets.
Nice jab by Duddy. Then they land jabs at the same time. Vanda really needs to just start throwing. What’s he got to lose? The fight is almost certainly in the bag on the cards for Duddy. If he loses, well, he was supposed to. If he wins, it’s a big step up for him and the best win of his career.
Vanda steps in and winds up eating a few shots. Early in the round it looked like this was going Vanda’s way, but Duddy winds up winning anyway.

Duddy-Vanda R9
While they talk about Duddy being better off at 154, they’re ignoring that there’s simply not much money down there. Middleweight is where he makes the most money theoretically, particularly if he can get a Pavlik fight. He’ll still lose, but like this I think maybe he doesn’t get his head knocked off at least.
Vanda isn’t out to wail this round, which is too bad. Duddy stings him with a pretty combo. Duddy continues to own the ring off his jab. Vanda is being swept out of the building.

Duddy works the jab, works the jab. Vanda stalking and throwing with bad intentions. Two body shots by Vanda. NOW VANDA OPENS UP! Lighting Duddy up! Duddy is in trouble! Left hook Vanda! Half a round left!
Duddy holding on now. Vanda stings him again! And again! AND AGAIN! Vanda is throwing with all he’s got left! Outstanding!
JESUS WHAT A LEFT HOOK! Duddy fires back! Vanda backed off with the jab. 30 seconds to go.
Duddy eats another left hook. Ten seconds and they are throwing! Then Vanda backs down and lays off totally inside of ten seconds? What…
Great final round. War Vanda in a losing effort.

Cotto-Jennings R1
I feel an overwhelming sense of pity or something like it. I can’t help it.
Cotto with a straight right that falls just short. Jennings staying at distance, trying to find a jab perhaps. He’s caught on the ropes. Cotto is just stalking him. Slow first half of the round. Might help Jennings.
Cotto snaps him back with a left. Vicious left to the body by Cotto. Jennings has done a good job staying away, I’ll give him that. He’s got OK movement. …I’m trying.
Cotto made a small charge with Jennings near the ropes, but Jennings got away. Jennings clearly wants nothing to do with Cotto, but he got through the first without taking any real damage.
Cotto 10-9

Jennings throws three shots, easily blocked by Cotto. Left hook by Cotto. Jennings with a right. Cotto backs him down with a jab. Cotto with a left now. Jennings doubles the jab, blocked. Jennings backs down on two jabs from Cotto. Cotto lands hard on the ropes near the bell.

Cotto-Jennings R3
Cotto is being really patient. Jennings is being really…well. He’s staying the hell away from him. Bernstein tries to find nice things to say about his rhythm.
Jennings has not landed a single significant punch. He’s no bum but he’s way out of his depth here. Cotto also hasn’t done much but it’s because Jennings is fleeing at the first sign of any trouble. It’s smart, but I don’t have to like it.
Cotto slinging left hooks to the body now, but Jennings will make it out of this round, too. Hard jab to end the round for Cotto.
Cotto 10-9
Cotto 30-27

If Jennings decides to fight him, which he won’t, it would be over quickly

Cotto-Jennings R4
You can say this: Jennings isn’t laying down.
Cotto finds him with a left uppercut to the chest. Jab snaps Jennings’ head back. Jennings has landed some jabs. Right hand Cotto, and I think he’s targeted his prey a little. Jennings is getting stuck in situations where he has to fight. LEFT HOOK STAGGERS JENNINGS! COTTO TO THE BODY! DOWN GOES JENNINGS!
Up at eight, but he’s about done.
Cotto unloading on Jennings with left hooks! Upstairs and downstairs, DOWN AGAIN ON ANOTHER BODY SHOT!
He’s finished. He’ll fight on.
10 seconds left in the round.
Cotto DESTROYING JENNINGS IN THE CORNER! Jennings makes it out of the round!
Cotto 10-7
Cotto 40-34

Cotto-Jennings R5
Cotto is like a shark now. Jennings working the jab — bless his heart, he’s got guts.
Cotton targeting the body again. Jennings knows it, too. Cotto working him over with a jab now. Body shot digs in. Jennings tries to hold on. Rights and lefts to the body after a straight left upstairs. Jennings is lost.
Cotto left hook upstairs, and he’s digging away now. Jennings gets away. Jab snaps his head back. Jennings in the corner, he’s DOWN AGAIN!
30 seconds left in the round. Esteves rightly waves it off.
Miguel Cotto TKO-5

Didn’t order the fight but I gather that Cotto showed no ill effects from the Margo beating?

no
But Jennings never really hit him at all either. Jennings was clearly out of his league. It only lasted five rounds because he stayed the hell out of the pocket for three rounds.

He didn't show any....
but he really wasn’t tested in any way. We’ll have to wait and see on that.

First name is Brian
Though I went almost exclusively by BLee in college (most people used the “Bee Lee” pronunciation, some wen twith the one syllable "Blee"). In fact, until I graduated and got a real job, my wife was essentially the only person who actually called me Brian.

it’ll never happen, cotto has a grudge agst top rank over the issue.

He’d have to wait a while for that. Margarito doesn’t deserve to fight Cotto again at this point.

Cotto-Cintron
my be the next fight for him. That would be an exciting fight.
by JasonTryp on Feb 21, 2009 11:03 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
if by exciting you mean Cotto would bust him up within five
Cintron stinks.

amen. plus how does cintron even get a chance to fight cotto? he lost his last two fights. well “Draw” on his last one, but he got his ass beat.

Berto or Mosley would be great
I’d love to see him fight Clottey, as well. Although, there’s less upside in a Clottey fight.

Cintron isn't shot
He just has no heart and his big bomb punching hasn’t hurt anyone good.

Cintron
You might have to eat your words on that one. Cintron at Welterweight is one of the most powerful punchers in that division.

Who has he ever hurt that was any good? He’s knocked out a bunch of bums. I used to like Kermit, too; he crumbles when in against good fighters.
