Boxing-Ireland.com - Bernard Dunne V Ricardo Cordoba WBA world title fight ringwalk boxing

Champion of the world. Four words Bernard Dunne has dreamt of hearing precede his name, though not long ago he could have been forgiven for thinking it would never happen. Many did think that, many thought he was fortuitous to have even got the chance, but regardless of what was thought and what was said, he got it. And he took it.


It took the best part of 11 rounds to seal victory over Ricardo Cordoba, a man who arrived in Dublin with a record of 34 wins, one loss and two draws. Despite failing to win three times on the road, he was supposed to be too good for Neilstowns finest, out of his league even, but Dunne sent him crashing to the canvas four times.

The 29-year-old also hit the deck - twice in the fifth round - but picked himself off the floor both times, spurred on by his unwavering belief and a 9,000 strong crowd whose doubts had been laid to rest when, in the third round, he sent the champion staggering across the ring into a heap with the first of countless accurate left hooks.

Yeah man efravi25 needs to get over it. Cordoba was beaten fair and square by Dunne but he just can't accept it. Now he's saying that Dunne is avoiding Caballero even though it's only been a few weeks since he won the belt!

I don't think Bernard's team will be making his matches on Youtube! Why are you posting this comment on every Dunne video? Are you expecting him to reply or something!!!
