69 kg analysis 6 euro guys have qualified, leaving two places, tight. My ratings; 1-Shellestyuk-uk-Q-class 2-Basckai-Hun-not qualified but class, slipping? 3-Vasinne-Fr-Q 4-Evans-GB-Q-Good consistant guy in Willy Mac, jjj level 5-Evaliauskos-Lit_Q-bt Sheehan Worlds 6-Spilal=Tur-danger 7-Zamkovoy-Russia-Q-not there best 8-Nurutdivov-Blr-Not qualified but seriously good boxer. 9-Nolan-Irl-anyone tops JJJ, Sheehan, McLaughlin is class. 10-Kuroglu-Tur-Class fighter, Turkey have a decision to make! 11-Kvachatadze-Geo-Geo-Not Quallfied, a good fighter. 12-Maharramov-Axe-Weak for them but a danger. A tough one . Basckai to qualify , then Nolan or the Turhish pick.
PS Ormond won, good performance, fairly close, maybe two/three rounds, ref was clearly biased, well done and (ironically) hard Luck!
Nolan could well qualify. Please god anyway Matt. I don't know his international record as he missed last years Euros. Do you have any idea how well he did against other countries? Great analysis as always by the way :good

Very little international pedigree but if you can win over McLaughlin, O'Reilly, Sheehan, JJJ etc you have class. Years ago we had a really good fighter Michael O'Malley, won like six tough Connaught titles but kept meeting DOJ or JJJ, they kept splitting the weights, so Mike went down a weight(or two-starved-and lost to.....Adam Nolan!By the way a couple of years ago, both Nolan and O'Malley won world police titles-good mates!
Interesting about that lad. Did he give up boxing altogether? I remember DOJ and JJJ would always be the weight next to each other. One man seemed to have the beatings of both though - JP McDonagh who passed away a few months back. If he stayed on course who knows what he could have done.

Lol. Some of the comments coming in from Limerick are more entertaining than the undercard, tbh. Anxious to see how Lee looks. It says that a Chavez fight is "tentatively scheduled for June 2" on the site.
