Irish Boxing

cheers:good

 

Anybody else here think John Joe Nevin is terrible underrated and under appreciated?
He is 23(!) arguable our most successful amature ever, two World bronze, Olympic silver and countless international wins?
In truth, as much as I love Katie a Silver in London at 56 Mens probably is more difficult to win. And he has wins over both the current World and Olympic champions in championships.
His recent win over the French pro LIGHTWEIGHT champion with a 12 and 0 record was phenomenal esp as Sow himself was a Beijing Silver medalist, quality but JJN made him luck average while boxing a stone above his weight.

 

:good agreed , He has been right at the top for along time now for his age

 

Joe Ward will be fighting Benchabla, the Algerian next weekend. That'll probably be his best opponent in the WSB so far.

 

agree with this 100% said it before the tourney in work that he was the one to watch

Hes probably my favourite amateur to watch :deal

 

Actually it was the Corbett one I watched. He was the racist.

Sorry Mr Jeffries.

 

Sorry no inside information lads havn't been training in crumlin in a long time!! All seems very quiet on lee front anybody hear how his training camp is going??

 

Think Jeffries might of been a racist too.

 

they were all at it back then!

just like 100 yrs ago the irish hated the brits... and now....well some of us still do:iak:good

 

Holy ****, what is that John Duddy thing? He's probably wondering now why he didn't take the money and fight Andy Lee, cause even a first round knock out couldn't be more embarassing than that video.

 

Do ye think Robert De Niro just walked into Taxi Driver? Sure Stallone's first actin role was in a porno. Van Damme's was a gay porno.

 

Especially the whites....................................?!
