I'm involved with the Paddies Day card as well. I will be a good bill if the fights stand up. I'm going to be managing O'Brien from next year as well.
ah not paddys day Slap, i want to go to New York for macklin....and if that fight Macklin/Martinez goes ahead you can be sure any other card won't be geting mch paper press the week previous..... have it a week earlier???? good to see irish cards though!
There were a few white collar shows on last night. It's great to see the sport growing even at a novice level. It will only improve the fan base and possibly lead to greater interest in shows down the line.
Straight, honest, reflective, searching, probing, angry, forceful then venomous. Jab, straight, move, range, hit, dig, cross then uppercut. Oh and **** you too.
Guys dont mean to bring things down but was tipped off on this.Is this the same lad thats boxing in the WSB at the minute?If so how is he allowed into the states?or to box in general for that manner?Hate to see **** like this it just plays into the stereotype of the brain dead bully boxer. http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/boxer-gets-suspended-sentence-for-unprovoked-assault-496478.html
Couldn't agree more. Turner is very lucky to avoid jailtime for this act of outright thuggery. I sincerely hope he learns from this and doesn't destroy a promising career.
I think everyone should be given a second chance. The kid was 19 but its hard to defend at the same time *assuming* the article is accurate of course. I hope if he ever makes it to the big time that he can come back and visit this guy and award him more in volintary contributions. We all make mistakes when we are young but who knows if a negative story can have a positive outcome.
As far as know the article is on the money and I'm all for second chances but I'm getting tired of defending the sport that I love. Recently, I've been constantly let down by fighters and especially fans at fights that I've attended. These stories hurt our sport more than any of us seem to realise and recognise
was kinda caught by this was telling a guy i know about Turners fight in the wsb and whilst out of shape looked a great character and seems a big personality and the next day he sent me on this link and said Yeah some personality.:-( I am all for second chances but by the sounds of it the victim didnt get any chance.

There is 2 places left at 69 and I would fancy Willie to get too final on his best form . Also 60 kgs has 4 places left and I would fancy DOJ or Donovan to make it . 91+ has 2 places and Sheehan can not be ruled out with after his good win against the Morrocan who beat the Russian Kuzmin at the worlds . 91 and 64 only have 1 place and it will be very hard although not impossible with Moylette already wining the Euros and McCarthy getting a few good wins himself .
Egan and Sheehan won gold in London, Kenny coming from behind to win. Cummings lost 11-8 to the Russian Euro champion, leading after the first. Three great performances.
