    Thats not the story I am hearing from Team Healy.

    Supposedly the deal is done with Monaghan and the first Healy knew about being stripped is when he read it on facebook!

    healy and monaghan would be a good scrap for wbf gaelic it doesnt really matter at this stage what title it is for ...monaghan hopefully will get a chance to fight for the irish title somewhere down the line

    Hi Matt, i'd go for these ones.

    Barnes
    Conlon
    Nevin
    Tyrone McCullough
    Ross Hickey
    Michael O'Reilly
    O'Neill
    Egan
    McCarthy
    Sheehan

    Again, if Quigley enters at a different weight to 75kg then i'd say he's in with a shout too. Did anyone see the McCarthy/Con Sheehan fight at last years seniors?? The computer wasn't working so it was unanimous decision....but i'd love to now how convincingly sheehan beat him?

    I can't keep up with all these titles being mentioned and fights going in English villages at the arse end of nowhere. But more importantly, is any of it going to be on TV?

    You would think the BUI would have some sense and realise that having the Irish title contested at MSG on St Patrick's Day would raise the profile of the title, union and Irish boxing. Moronic decision

    The only way this can be a better career move for Lee (turning down a other HBO opportunity) is if this is a title shot at Geale/Sturm/Pirog.

    I agree bu Sturm is stil dangerou. He foght in a low gear against MAcklin and Murray and went up a gear in the last coupl of rounds. Lee should be careful but I agree he has to be favoured and so what if hegets robbed. Won't be the end of the world.

    I change my mind for 69kg. I pick Jason Quigley,,,now that it's been confirmed he's entering at that weight! I genuinely don't know how he's gonna make it...not an ounce of fat on him from what I could see in the WSB. He will surely be completely drained

    As I said I'd have to pick him too but making the weight 4/5/6 times is tough to do in such a competitive division-damn interesting though!
