    Macklin showed as much heart as any Irish man has in recent times, including Bernard Dunne. It was his technical skills that people questioned, Macklin has the heart of a lion.

    Dont think Ward or Mcdonagh should have to box off. Ward is national and Euro champion. How many times are they gonna ask Mcdonagh to box off? I think the two of them should be on the plane already

    AMIR KHAN ADMITS JAB JUDAH WILL BE A TRICKY OPPONENT

    EDDIE HEARN: PAUL McCLOSKEY WILL GO ONE BETTER AND BEAT THE MAN WHO "SPARKED OUT KHAN"
    http://www.boxing-ireland.com/20110719_hearn_mccloskey_prescott_3.html



    After watching McCloskey/ Khan, I remember thinking that Judah could beat both these boxers. I had watched Judah a few weeks earlier on Setanta, and couldn't help but admire his work. Gone was the old reckless Judah, replaced by a more mature and defensively minded boxer, but with the same skill set and explosive power. Judah has found God and Pernell Whitaker. We have a boxer at peace with life, training like he has never trained before by a defensive genius and ATG. Khan is up against it today, but like all Khans opponents it's how Judah handles Amirs speed will be the key, and I think Judah will KO Khan late.
    Fury and Chisora have a lot of people talking in my workplace, this fight has captured the imagination of the causal fan, and the fact that it's on terrestrial TV has also brought an even greater interest. 6ft 1" Chisora has came in heavier than 6ft 8" Fury, and a stone heavier than his previous contest. This was always a 50/50 fight, but now I would strongly favour Fury to stop a out of condition Chisora late. I wonder what odds I can get on these predictions:think

    Heffron would destroy prunty i thought he was most impressive fighter in city west (apart from rigo obviously)
    Hydes card looking good Casey Heffron Levan Donnellan as long as they are matched well this could be a great night.

    Same thing. :blurp

    Agree about the Fury/Chisora fight. Fury is the underdog, good money to be made on him.

    Fairly sure its 10 at most weights so its actually possible to be beaten in your first fight (last 16 with a good draw) by one of the eventual finalists and still qualify.:nut

    A big entry can make it easier to qualify by reaching the last 8 more chance of pulling a lad from Baruno faso and then a last 16 versus Iraq :D
    In a perfect world......
    How is sheehan looking for the box offs any news on Egan moving up to 91?
