    Maybe I read it wrong. I just saw prospect and Asikainen in around the same place.

    Anyway, who's the fighter in your avatar? I think I saw him fight a while ago.. a long while ago actually.

    Ville Piispanen http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=328728&cat=boxer

    You might have seen his fight against Daniel Rasilla. It was a undercard fight of Povetkin-Boswell.

    And this weekend he is fighting against Lenny Daws for the EU-title..

    Nahkis Irish boxing is miles ahead of Finnish boxing in amateurs and pros so give it a rest ! We have countless european, world and olympic medalists in the ams and plenty of top pros who have fought for world titles or are fighting for world titles in the near future !

    And every decent Irish boxer is actually English ?? What about Bernard Dunne, Wayne McCullough, Steve Collins, Paul McCloskey, Brian Magee and Carl Frampton to name just a few !

    Just last week Ireland finished with 3 gold 1 silver and 6 bronze at the European Schoolboys in Russia, were were Finland ? No where ! Ireland were 2nd to Russia and were the only country from western Europe to get to a final bar Germany who claimed one silver ! We have anOlympic champion, a silver medalis and 2 Bronze medalist and you think Finland is a better boxing nation ? get a grip !

    I seemed to have caused a bit of trouble with that video I posted, so for that I apologise and admire what your doing for boxing in your country.

    And for the record, the fella with the ewok as his avatar disagrees.

    Robert Helenius is still the best Finnish prospect by far. Hopefully he hasn't lost any of his power from the issues he's had with his hands. Can't wait to see him in action next month!

    He brings some excitment to the division! I love the way he KO'd Liakhovich. Amazing combination. It was a great fight.

    Pretty sure I was the only American (or non-Finn, at that) expressing interest in Piispanen as far back as a few years ago. :D
