    What's the plan for Andy Lee now? Will he be back to fighting journeymen for a while or dust himself off and get back in with a big fight to set him up for another world title?

    I really hope he gets a world title for himself at one point. He's one of the nicest fellas in the game.

    Did you witness these scenes? I've heard two stories, one person told me it was Tigers Bay fighting St Jame's [ Dee Walsh supporters]. The other story was Tigers Bay fighting McCloskey supporters. It was obviously a sectarian incident, and one we could do without. I wouldn't like to think Carl Frampton future fights will become a no-go for nationalists.

    Tiger's Bay is a staunch Loyalist area.

    I'm sure Frampton himself would be quick to disassociate himself with any sectarian mongs though.

    Frampton is a protesant, but I don't know his politics and quite frankly don't want to know. But where is is from is a staunchly loyalist area, and has it's fair share of headbangers like a lot of other areas in Belfast. These guys should switch off their opinions for the night and enjoy the boxing, but I've a feeling that this might not happen.

    His fiancée is catholic, so it's extremely doubtfull that he's a sectarian bigot. He always comes across as a respectable young lad in interviews. I hope these "fans" cop the fúck on in future.

    I know Carl is not a bigot, he use to post on this thread until last year, and always came across as a nice kid.

    But here is some of the scenes I was refering to, they are singing "the billy boys" at the end of the fracus

    I hope we never see this again at a boxing match in Ireland.

    That looks fairly bad to be honest! The topless guy seems to punch a security guard at the start am I right? And also, at 1:20 is that blood on the floor?

    St. James vs T Bay as far as I heard. Both blaming each other for provoking.

    No from day one Fitzy came out and said he couldn't agree a fee with his team, so that doesn't really read well for his career, he could be contracted to that team for a certain number of fights so if he can't agree fees he's still under contract or his contract could be for a certain time frame meaning he might just have to let it run down, either way he might not see any action for awhile.
