Irish Boxing

good joke

 

Booth is saying that there'll be 35,000 tickets available. Stadium only holds 25k (15k of which are seated). Assuming they'd have to put bucket seats on the terraces. Then seats on the pitch.... Can't see that totaling up to 35k



Anyway, whatever capacity it is it would be great to have boxers from all over the island at it.

Looking at the VVarren-MGM-Boxnation/DiBella/Booth stables the undercard could feature:

Conlan (v Butler?)
Ryan Burnett's British Title Eliminator v Jason Booth
Fitzgerald (v Dee Walsh for Irish LMW title?)
Hyland
Ormond
Geraghty/Creagh/McDonagh (Irish title v Byrne)

Then there's also talk of Murphy's being involved too:
Could mean McGuinness or O'Connor
and of course Spike-Eubank Jr. - Winner gets the winner of Lee-BJS

 

Im going, wouldnt miss it:deal

 

Id have thought they'd at least TRY to get this fight.

Its a world title, in Limerick.
How many world titles have ever been fought in Ireland?

But I can imagine Sky making it exclusive though, although Im doubting PPV....right?

 

Good man!

Just trying to figure out if I can make it back. Trying to wrangle together a few buddies and make a proper night of it.

In another note, I wonder what the undercard will look like?
Surely Willie Big Bang will find a way in there?

Put in Spike to get the Cork crowd in(also a possible future opponent)...maybe a Con Sheahan debut?
Im not usually in favour of letting Tipp people over the border, but an exception could be made

 

:thumbsup Very good

 

I really hope its a great success Dutchie. I'm totally behind this event and as you say Andy could probably have made bigger €€€ in London - all credit to him.
Its just that some people have a problem behaving themselves, particularly with drink on board - you know yourself.
I just dont want to give the 'knockers' anything to latch on to have an excuse to knock Limerick/Boxing/travellers or whatever.

 

What do you have against tipp people std? Still sore about the hammering Limerick got in there home patch sunday lmfao

 

http://t.co/DKK1AaSJkj link to live Baku-McComb won again!

 

how did the rest do today

 

Walsh lost. Nolan boxes the English lad at 5

 

hasnt mccomb got selimov in the semis no though? he doesnt have a hope

 

Big ask alright but three qualify for the world championships so if he is beaten as long as Selimov wins the competition Sean qualifies for the world championships,
There a last 8 place will get him Rio qualification,Very doable for a lad like him.

 

well if thats the case selimov is going to win the whole thing easy

his a class act with judging behind him

 

It's only the Top 3 lightweights from the Worlds who qualify now. But there's 2 other qualifying tournaments next year. I'd be confident of him making it.
