    Coyles opponent is poor lads and i think Henry will swarm all over him.Henry hasnt great power imo but a big volume of punches is what usually stops his opponents.
    Eade is too fresh for Coveny but cant see him stopping Mickey.
    One thing of note is Eade hasnt ben past 6 i know he is training very hard but theres no substitute for experiencing something first hand.
    As to eade getting dropped he got careless pure and simple shipped a good shot but looked clear enough when he got up so i wouldnt necessarily say he has issue with the whiskers,A tough hardfought points win is what i see here.

    Ardy,

    I wouldnt do Eade, I think Coveney will beat him. I thought Coveney gave O'Hara a good fight, he was doing great against Hyland before he got caught and has had a couple of decent wins of late.

    Yeah, Sweeney by stoppage and Hyland by stoppage. Coyle should win on points.

    Has anyone been to a big fight at the Odyssey before? Given that it's Sky Sports what time is the top of the bill likely to start? Any idea on what time Carlos is going on either?

    I've really to try and get back to Dublin for another engagement that night. Any chance Carlos might go on around the 9 ish mark? I'd like to make it back by midnight.

    What do you reckon the chances are? I'll be driving up :huh

    I went to Takaloo-Rock there many moons ago. :?

    The bill will start early, 5.30pm will be the first fight. Carlos could be on as early a 8pm

    I've already put my bets down.

    Coveney win 4/1

    Sweeney KO win 2/1

    Hyland pts wins 8/11

    I still have Eade the favourite to win but 4/1 is crazy value on Coveney in my opinion, I'd have back him at 2/1.

    Sweeney win by ko is great value aswell, considering that in all his loses Waldron has been stopped.

    Thanks lads it appears Eade and Coveney will be closer than Boylesports are expecting. I think its too close to call myself, so I'll give it a miss.

    Don't worry about it, I'll drink enough for the both of us that night, beside you can come up to the Kings Hall the following week to watch Fury and wet your whistle then.:yep

    I am going to open a Boyle sports account now and do Sweeney KO win 2/1 and Coveney win 4/1. £20 pays £300:thumbsup

    At Rogan-Sexton 2 the first bell wasnt until about 7.30 and the main event was at 10. It depends on the scheduling at Sky - if they start coverage at 8pm, then the main event will probably start at about 9pm...
