His opponent the Filipino Suarez should make for a entertaining fight. He's very aggressive, good handspeed and throws power combos. Golub/Tavares are both top MW's and should be competitive and BW Butsenko is making his debut and won Ukrainian Nationals this year. Hopefully we'll finally have a quality BW.

No, but some pros do participate. (like Avery Gibson)

Born in Westmeath, the Republic of Ireland. Represented Ireland in the 2008 Olympics. I don't give a shit if a sign says he's English, the man is Irish.

I just get offended when us Irish people get labeled British. Yeah, if you're born in Northern Ireland and acquire an English passport and consider yourself British, not if you're born in the midlands of the Republic.

I think you're talking about Joe Joyce the light welterweight. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Joe Joyce the heavyweight is from London but I dunno where he was born or where his parents are from.

Yes but you were furious with the other poster who was unfamiliar with Joyce and assumed he was English as though it should be blatantly evident to everyone that he's Irish. What's this obvious indicator, his distinctly brown Irish skin? His Anglo-Saxon name which most Blacks in Ireland, England, America, Canada have? If someone doesn't know him it isnt unreasonable to understand why they may assume he's English.

That would make all this even more entertaining if he got them confused. Please be the case

I think he's trying to wind people up, or else he just got John Joe Joyce and Joe Joyce confused, but Joyce is an Irish surname, not an English one.

Of course you were...

I knew who you thought you were talking about all along, it's an easy mistake to make.. well if you haven't been watching the WSB. Apart from one being a 6'6 Super Heavy and the other being a light welter.
