Sorry for Thomas, coached him for years and he is a nice fella. Beating Russians, Ukrainians and Azerbaijians(is that a word?) shows our lads are no joke.
McCloskey's cousin to make his debut on McCloskey card http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/family-affair-mccloskey%e2%80%99s-cousin-to-debut-on-belfast-card/ European Championships Day 2 http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/european-championships-day-2/
Boys, I meant ot post this here days ago: The German super-heavy for gold. I have never looked at a beast like him, 6ft 9 and all muscle, supposed to be an excellent boxer too.
Read this in the Connaught Telegraph on Coyle's opponent: "That's not to say Cotena is a slouch by any means (he is reigning IBF Mediterranean champion)" OH MY GOD! They must be deluded out west altogether.
yeah, its just in the West the local journos havent a clue what they are talking about when it comes to boxing. :good
Ciaran Healy will face fellow Belfast fight Joe Hillerby on the Tyson Fury undercard at the Kings Hall.
I am hearing Paul Griffen and Sweet Pea too!!! Junior Witter Interview: former world champ prediciting Sept 17 haughian stoppage http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/hitter-witter-plans-to-stop-haughian/
and Witter protege "Kid Galahad" is also on the undercard. nice boxers but would put a glass eye to sleep
**** he was massive wasnt he. Was up at the Citywest today meself and was shocked at the size of the ****. Conroy in fairness to him went for him and had a go just got outclassed. It was some shot that put him away to be fair. Out flat on his back. Conroy's mother got ssome fright when he hit the deck.
I saw him down the stadium and heard a few stories. Apparently, at one comp his ukrainian opponent, I think it was, refused to even get in the ring with him having seen him spark the fellow before. No pics mushilow but theyll emerge I'm sure.
Lads is this the German yeah? He looks like a tank: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huh8xp9tTBc[/ame]
He must only 17 or 18 if hes boxing at the youths. What the **** have they been feeding him to get him to that size?
