He is big for his gae alright but in the European final he was getting bullied abit by the Russian. He beats everyone in Ireland at 91 no problem but at international level I have me doubts.
:rofl The third most popular fight the public wants to see, after Mayweather v Pacman and Haughian v O'Brien! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e23hEgxOgJw[/ame]
Hes also a British citizen whos fought for Britain,under a British flag etc. Has been a British champion amateur and pro. If he has the Irish anthem played when he fights at home in Birmingham,then I might see things differently. As it is,hes a British guy of Irish decent who's clearly proud of his Irish roots, much like Tyson Fury
The pair are pretty different actually. If you know more about the fighters then you would realise that. Is Andy Lee also British? He was born in England and learned to fight there, fought in the English ABAs and his brother Ned fought England.

I saw that Ireland's Own, have it here so I can list the top 10 amateurs. Thomas Myler's Top 10 1: Gearoid O Colmain 2: Mick Dowling 3: Terry Milligan 4: Dave Connell 5: Frankie Kerr 6: Harry Perry 7: Ken Egan 8: Maxie McCullough 9: Fred Tiedt 10: Mick McKeon Despite the omissions, I can assure ya that Gilroy and Caldwell, McNally and many more were mentioned throughout.
.....and me prediction is, he doesn't ring me! What are the chances of the fight getting on and where is the Prunty Protector?
Cronan stopped supporting Prunty at the first sign of trouble, truly embarrassing. I'd actually prefer to see Prunty v O'Brien in an 8 rounder first but Gav is having far too much time in Cali I think.
if ward goes 91kg its through lazyness! if he wins the seniors at 81kg he'll qualify for the olympics i think but at 91kg with 1 spot up for grabs his coach will never leave him ove up! its only another 7 months he has to hold the weight ffs
Paddy Barnes will be one of Irelands greatest amateur's ever should he medal again in 2012, his list of accomplishments is really something.
