1. John Duddy, who defeated Charles Howe last night, is planning on moving down to Junior Middleweight(154lbs). Duddy has campaigned at Middleweight but now is trying to go down to Junior Middleweight and challenge IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Verno Phillips. If this sounds familiar it is, because Sergio Mora moved down to Junior Middleweight to fight Vernon Forrest for the WBC Junior Middleweight title. Mora was successful, but will Duddy be? Who knows?2. Monte Barrett, who just exposed Tye Fields for the phony he is, may possibly be fighting David Haye October 18 at the O2 Arena in London. Haye said he wanted to fight a good Heavyweight this fall and Barrett would be a good test for him.
3. The WBC will not recognize Humberto Soto's DQ loss from last night. Soto was DQd for hitting Francisco Lorenzo while he was down. The WBC did not want Lorenzo winning the interim and possibly WBC Junior Lightweight title by DQ. Soto was dominating Lorenzo the whole fight and had Lorenzo extremely bloody. It was obvious who the winner was, but controversy got in the way. The WBC is going to view the fight as a draw and order an immediate rematch.
