Irish Boxing

I can't see JCCjr risking a fight with slick southpaw like Andy Lee. I hope I'm wrong as Andy deserves his shot more than most in the division. Shitty stream btw...

 

Andy appears to be fighting a chubby middleweight in the one of the lowest rent shows I've ever seen! OK, it's a 'stay busy' fight but seriously? surely, at this stage, he's above this ****

 

I agree with you, Big Liam. I think Lee's learned a lot from Steward and the Klits, and if he boxes like he's doing tonight and against Vera, I like his chances against anyone in that division.

 

well that was a shite fight a scrap with robbie long or tolan wouldve been a better test tbh ah well now to watch the juan manuel lopes scrap good timing :good

 

When is the last qualifers for London on? Mustnt be too far away. I think this team will be as big as the Barcelona games team or bigger when you include Katie and what other women get to London.

Just a bit off topic I was got a postcard from the Barcelona team which is 20 years old come London I wonder what value it would be.

The fighters on it.
Michael Carruth 67kg Gold medal winner.
Paul Butimer 51kg
Kevin McBride 91+ kg
Paul Douglas 91 kg
Paul Griffin 57 kg
Wayne McCullough 64kg Silver medal winner and former World Champion.

The card was from Carruth to one of his Uncles.

 

Great read, thanks. Yeah, remember JP, he was pure class. Actually thought he was the same age as the Joyces.

 

Davies is a strange specimen. I don't think he goes out of his way to favour the home fighter or whatever but if somebody annoys him, even once, he just holds a vendetta against them for the rest of the fight.

I remember him going apoplectic against a Latvian in Belfast once and the dude had barely done anything, it was his first holding offence and Davies dragged the guy to centre ring and was bellowing "Anymore of that and I'll frow y'aaaaat!"

:nut

 

he was the same age as davey oliver and john joe !

 

Any one know what Michael Sweeney is up to? He hasnt fought for 9 months since beating Billy Boyle?

 

Sweeney v Corbett is the word on the streets of Sligo.

 

Good stuff, Corbett has been around on the scene for ****ing ages

I presume it would be for an irish title, or at least an eliminator for one?

 

Yeah, that confused me too. He was definitely the same age as them, along with Paul Duncliffe and John McDonagh from Cork. Some great rivalries between those 5 lads

 

Bang on and Carl Frampton was also the same age but lighter if memory serves me right.
