Irish Boxing

Missed the 9-1 McCullough. Make it mch closer than the odds suggest.

 

Some more pre-finals bits I did here:

Con Sheehan roared team-mate Dean Gardiner into the super-heavyweight decider - where he awaits

Michael Conlan claims deal was in place for him to move to 56, and John Joe Nevin to 60, if they both stayed for Rio.

Steven Ward ready for 'Joe Frazier'-like Gary Sweeney in heavyweight final; reckons Tommy McCarthy's pro move opened the window for him to gain a title and a friend

Read em and share. Cheers

 

It's a pity Quigley and Turner are missing this year. How old is Con Sheehan doe anyone know?

 

thanks:bbb

 

Just turned 25.

Real pity about the missing boxers this year. From last year (OK, barring injury) we're down Egan, Nevin, Quigley, Turner, McCarthy & Cummings. That's a lot of quality in anyone's book. Think Nevin, McCarthy & Quigley or Cummings would all have had a real chance of winning the titles. And unfortunately it shows a bit.

3rd round of O'Reilly vs. O'Neill...

For the most part the orthodox lad in blue managed to outbox the red-clad southpaw, keeping him spinning to face up while trickling in accurate straight punches, but about halfway in he got caught with a corker of an overhand left while circling lazily in close.

 

Cheers got it just in time the O'Neill v O'Reilly. Excellent Fight! O'Reilly just about edged it for me.

O'Reilly gets the nod.
