Boxing:John Duddy's dreams of a landing a world title shot bit the dust after he dropped a unanimous decision to Julio Cesar Chavez Junior jnr on a world title eliminator in Texas last night.
Chavez, a son of the legendary three-weight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez, bossed most of the main event and almost stopped the Derry middleweight in the 12th and final round in San Antonio.
Duddy,31, started brightly against Chavez and wobbled his opponent in the sixth round with a right hand counter. But, Chavez, 24, dominated the remaining half dozen frames to register a comprehensive decision.
