"Irish" John Duddy outpointed Michael Medina in a split decision to open the Pacquiao-Clottey pay-per-view. Official scores were 96-93 across the board, two cards for Duddy and one for Medina. Bad Left Hook scored it 96-93 for Duddy.
The fight was fairly close, but I thought clearly in Duddy's favor. Medina did lose a point for repeated blows, but it didn't really wind up making a difference.
Duddy (29-1, 18 KO) didn't look any better than usual, but was obviously more polished than Medina (23-2-2, 18 KO), who gave a spirited effort but was just a hair out of his class.
And frankly, the fact that Duddy was only barely out of Medina's class isn't a compliment for either. To stop being relentlessly negative (for which I apologize), the fight was perfectly watchable, and the building setup is phenomenal.

Terribly
ordinary fight. Chavez vs. Duddy = absolutely nothing of any importance, IMO.
it is of no importance whatsoever
They’d be cashing out on the cow that goes dry in that one, but they’d also be able to sell a lot of tickets in Mexico.
Bad Left Hook
