UFC Dublin: Joe Duffy’s boxing revolution (Heavy Hands 74)

This week on Heavy Hands we’re celebrating the one-year anniversary of the illustrious Mr. Patrick Wyman joining the show, and there’s only one way to do that: talking about fights!

More specifically, we’re doing something we always enjoy, which is talking about underappreciated fighters and up-and-comers. Joseph Duffy is the man of the hour this week, and we admire the depth of his game, which includes not only a slick submission grappling base, but some of the very best boxing in the stacked lightweight division. Oh, and we do a little griping about the state of boxing in MMA, too.

After that it’s on to Nicolas Dalby vs Darren Till, one of the most fascinating matchups on this weekend’s UFC: Dublin card, and then Golovkin vs Lemieux and Gonzalez vs Viloria. I eat a little crow and admit that Gennady Golovkin turned into a much more impressive performance than I ever could have expected, and we praise Brian Viloria for a game effort against the very best boxer on the planet.
