Disaster, he started so well and then got carried away. As I suspected Dunne got caught up with the melee in the crowd.

holy fúck, I should have put money on that... the whole run up to the fight I was thinking dunne is getting knocked out in the 3rd... over and over.

jumpguy

****. He's gone. But thankfully he's up and going again. It's hard to see where he went wrong...he was doing excellently up until a small moment. He's still a great Irish athlete though, and these things happen. He'll be back again.

Got drawn into a slugfest with a stronger man. In a nutshell

First 2 rounds were great but what a disaster in the 3rd.

He had to stand off, once he was in close he was stuffed.

Done well in the 1st round,

even enough in 2nd, Poonsawat back into it,

No contest in round 3,

Can't see anyway back for Bernard now, fair play to where he got to though.

Well I'm gutted for Bernard but not surprised. There was always a danger that his chin would not be good enough. What a pity.:(

happyoutscan

What a shame, that lad can punch.

Deja Vu. Gone - in every sense of the word.

The commentary on RTE is an absolute joke, Dunne gets a clear blow "I didn't see a punch, did they knock heads?" and then another one "What? I didn't see a punch. Why's he on the ground?"

Deserved winner. Too bad for Dunne.

Can't see him picking up that belt again although if he tries i'll be following him

Thai fighter knew after the first round he had the measure of Dunne. It was just a matter of when he'd catch up with him. He started closing the ring off and in the end Dunne had to start trading. I could see it going only one way then.

Fair play to Bernard. He started well, and does seem to have developed more strength but he came up against an excellent fighter this evening, who is no Kiko.

Jaysus, the first two round were great for Dunne but Poonsawat showed his class in the third, fair play to him, but im devestated that Dunne lost.:(

Poor old Bernard, back to the day job now, whatever that is. Will Irish boxing ever have a McGuigan again..

Heisenberg.

Got sucked in. Again. And lost. Again. Shame, but he showed for most of thefirst two rounds how to win this fight. Still, he was world champion, not many thought he'd ever get that far in the first place.

He's just acknowledged himself that stupidity cost him the fight. Feel for the guy.

Jackeenboy

Dunne is a better boxer! As he said he got drawn into fighting. First 2 rounds he dominated. He will be back!

Kristopherus

And he's bloody rambling now !!!

A world champion featherweight you mean?

Fyi this was Bantamweight. And if its another top class world champion, we had Steve Collins also who fought the very best in his time.

Not a very nice comment to make after a Bernard's loss. The guy might not have been the best in his weight but he still got a world title.

This is why i watched with the sound off

marcusluck

stay away from power punchers if you have a suspect chin imo,bernard stayed in the pocket ater his combos instead he should of thrown his jabs right after his combo and on his bike again then get another combo off start it over again(the plan)..he played right into the thai fighter fight...
pissed off:(:(

mad m

Dunne under-estimated this Thai boxer in my opinion......

horsebox09

Other - no contest, draw, technical draw etc

Fair play bernard, can't be too harsh on him, the thai is a beast and their's an obvious reason why no other champion would fight him.
Bernard's chin just isn't upto it.

I never got the Bernard Dunne "Fad", he was selling out arenas and i thought he was totally over rated.

That was until the Cordoba fight, he showed what a total warrior he was, he was being beaten up, was on the canvas, and he came back from the brink of defeat and became World Champion.

The man earned my complete respect that night and i have to say, that tonight my respect has grown for the man.

He has been defeated, but he had nothing but respect for his opponent afterwards and i've never heard him have a bad word to say. He's a gentleman and, in my opinion, a great ambassador for the sport and i really wish him all the best and hope he can come back stronger!

Boxing.

He was jabbing and spinning so well, and obviously looked the far better in the first two. However, at some stage he was GOING to get drawn in. It was inevitable. I dont think he couldve kept the jabbing up for 12, no way. He was taking the odd big shot, even when he was throwing singles/doubles and moving.

Poonsawat was FAR stronger, you could see it from rd 2.

I think this might be the end for Bernard, and probably for the best, I dont see where he's going from here.

GAAman

Hard luck bernard the thai lad was really good though

Irony of ironies, i was watching rocky before the fight and left it on in the background (watched the fight on rte.ie) and it was just at the end, when rocky won bernard lost

Pretty much exactly how I felt about him before Cordoba.

When I think about it I think it's easy to say Bernard got carried away however looking back Poonsawat was putting on huge pressure relentlessly.

Yeah he can move and has a decent jab. Just cant take a punch. (some punch though)

I think Boxing fans are too quick to write off boxers after a loss!

The guy has lost just twice, and one of those wins was in a World Title Fight. To say he's done is ridiculous!

now get out and run those 5 mile runs each morning Bernard!

you could have heard a pin drop when he went down.

Jackeenboy

He has at least 2 more fights in him maybe more!

dedon

Jimmy McGee was a disgrace again tonight. He is a legend but he days as a boxing commentator are up. He total missed all of the major punches and rambled on a bout how many names he had.

Absolute joke again dame the last fight!!

For god sake man we are not interested in your Google exploits.

Hard luck Bernard!
