Elite championships just a couple of weeks away,Cant wait going to be one of the best in recent years i think,Ill get the predictions kicked off 49 Barnes 52 Conlon 56 Nevin 60 Donovan 64 Moylett 69 O Reilly 75 O Neil 81 Egan 91 Mc Carthy 91+ Sheehan Some obvious some not so much,will be a great three weeks.
I cant wait either for the elites. the final will be the best night in irish boxing this year- easily the best card- if you will. I apoligiesed to Ryan, by the way, but what can you do when you get 10 calls saying he has turned pro?? did he not move to manchester and all???
He said he turned pro. He said he was with Hatton. He said he moved to Manchester. Not sure what you done wrong to be honest Stapo.
My list is fairly similar, think 69kg is a toss up though. You dont think the ever always improving Ward can beat Egan again then?:think
Lads how do you get Tickets? is it just a case of watching IABA.ie until they put them up or can you get them now?
Our highest-ranked 69kger in the AIBA is..... Chris Blaney at 39. Figure that one out. McLaughlin is 43 with JJJ at 44. I fancy Chris O'Reilly this time, but remember Roy Sheahan was a hair away from qualifying at the Worlds... Then Adam Nolan was one of the most impressive performers at last years' Elites. This division is fit to burst!
Its great seeing so much competition at 69kg in Ireland. Sometimes at national level there is one dominant boxer who completely dominates his weight class like Kenny Egan did for 8 years at 81kg and at49kg where Barnes is curently dominating. It really makes for exciting matchups and a few suprises. 64kg is looking good to, on there day either Moylett, Hickey or Sutcliffe could win it.

Mitchell Ormond is ON I do believe - especially after finding out there will be a Press conference on the matter tomorrow.
The open Youths are starting this week as well I fancy - 49 - TJ Waite 52 - Joe Fitzpatrick 56 - Dan Fullerton 60 - Keane McMahon 64 - David Roche 69 - Conor Doherty 75 - Anthony Coyle 81 - Gary Sweeney 91 - David Joyce 91+ - Thomas Conroy
If Macklins wins a fight with Martinez and then defends against Lee. Would that fight likely take place in Ireland or the US?
