Peters and dunnes camp have never really taken risks they wont fight monroe for the european title and when dunne was blasted away in 90 secs by Martinez the latter was the mandatory contender so they had to fight him. Dunne fought pickering for the vacant EBU title, I think that shows how much of a duck he is, he waited for hunt to vacate the belt before chalenging for it. Cordoba is the WBA champ but was ranked as 9th contender by the ring before defeating caballero. Iv never seen him fight but from what iv read and heard he should win. Regardless of weather Dunne wins or not he'll never beat Vasquez or Marquez. He woudnt even beat Martinez or Monroe in my opinion who will meet later this month for the european title...and neither of whom are top 10 in the world. Though i could see Monroe holding a world title some day.
Either Dunnes camp see Cordoba as a good style for dunne, or they realise dunne isnt going to make it and have taken a chance, if he wins, a title defence against Wayne McCulagh and a rematch with Cordoba would make Dunne a nice few bob. If he losses, he may still fight McCulagh, maybe more than once, or maybe even a european title shot with a few bum opponents thrown in along the way will earn him some not bad purses. A fight with McCulagh cud also be for the irish title, which dosnt mean a whole lot but Im sure neither camp will turn down a belt.
