Dapudong vs Joyi IBO clash raises many questions

----------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a good match-up for Dapudong? or is does this smell like a brewing Hometown Decision for Joyi since the fight will be held at South Africa. The funny thing is Joyi will be coming from 105 lbs (Strawweight) to fight Dapudong who is the current IBO 115 lbs (Super Flyweight) Champion.

Does the pinoy fighter have an advantage here?

Your thoughts guys

a loser in a straw-weight title fight and moving up 10 pounds north to face newly crowned IBO super flyweight champion Edrin Dapudong

that would be an overwhelming advantage for Dapudong, let alone the phone call instructions from Heredia

if dapudong annihilates this small former champ, what would be the reaction of the media... he is not fighting his size and a tainted win.

give him an opponent his size, possibly a mexican--- dami dyan. nothing to worry. heredia is on his side.

it's a massacre..

Weight wise its a mismatch...

But I know where these africans are standing.

Coming from the lower weight class has always the speed advantage.

Their plan is use the speed and not to get KOed by Dapudong.

As long as their fighter is standing until the final bell.... Dapudong can't beat Joyi on the scorecards..

I have been following the pinoy fights in south africa..

You have to KO your opponent if you want to win.

Other than that, there is not other way.

you have a point bro, so this Joyi must be fighting like Ivan Calderon, and if Dapudong doesnt know how to cut off the ring, he is then more likely to lose the fight via controversial decision again.

TS, no offense bro. In my little knowledge though i'm not good in grammar , you're referring to a place not a specific venue. So, it should be 'in' South Africa not 'at' South Africa. Peace bro.

Joyi will just clinch and run all night long. if Edrin cannot knock Joyi out, Edrin will lose via decision.

no offense taken , but you did not answer the question...what do you think about Dapudong's chances against Joyi?

That is going to be a bummer if that happens, I am hoping that Dapudong would not be another Sonny Boy Jaro.

I think they are obligated to fight in South Africa for this fight because of the contract when he was given a rematch by Buthelzi (or whatever the former champions last name is). But it would be a very good matchup when that happens

We are of the same mindset sir

I just hope that Dapudong nails him with a big one to end the fight in a KO. Wishful thinking
