Irish Boxing

I agree with that:deal

 

Anyone fancy Carroll to pull off the upset against Geraghty on Saturday??

 

If you're counting Quigley's WSB fights as pro performances I'll say fair enough, but if not Cummings has undoubtedly had the hardest opponent (Robert Talarek) and probably been the most impressive in his performances.
Quigley's opposition has possibly been the softest of the lot, but not too much wrong with how he's performed so far, and I'm sure he'll gradually move up in level soon.

Keeler hasn't been as impressive as the other two, but it's not fair to compare him, he's been working a full-time job while trying to develop himself as a prospect and start his own business, so when he has a little bit of time to settle into being a full-time pro we can start to compare him. Be interesting to see how he gets on this weekend, Boulden represents a good step up for him.

 

I Googled Carroll and see that he has a win over George Bates (they might have been very young though). Nonetheless, he can't be bad!

He also lost 6-4 on points to Mark O'Hara in 2009 (National under 18 semi). O'Hara is a serious operator.

Sorry if some of this info seems a bit irrelevant but I'm intrigued by this Carroll lad. Certainly seems to have quite a good amateur pedigree.

 

Anybody got the scheduling for the skysports bouts tomorrow evening?

 

Looks that wat at this stage....but it's very early days yet...:good

 

Think it's on the Brit forum. But with so many fights and such an early start any attempt at predicting exact times are pure guesswork.....

 

Have heard rumours about Cummings' chin. Would give Keeler a real chance against him and it's a tremendous fight for me. Tomorrow gives Luke another chance to learn some more in the biggest arena he'll have boxed in, against a tough man in Boulden.

Quigley is a step in front right now IMO. Very well schooled, great chin and man strength yet to come. Unassailable confidence and will be brought along the correct way. But he won't get overconfident either because he's well grounded.

 

Any1 know the running order for tomorrow?
