BJS ISNT AVAILABLE, Mr. Smallprint man. Spike is. What part of that dont you understand? You're post is very unclear - but you seem to be saying that Spike doesnt deserve a shot at Andy? Am I right? Well let me remind you, me aul flower, that Andy went nip-and-tuck with Fitz. Now let me see....how did Spike do versus Fitz???.... So there goes your argument right there about 'Spikes credibility'. This a golden opportunity for a domestic Middleweight World Title Fight. How often does that happen? Will it ever happen again??But you want to let this possibly one chance ever slip by???? Andy goes on about how much he loves his fans and how he wanted to put on an affordably priced fight in Limerick to 'reward' them. Then when he has a chance to fight Spike - in an all-Irish blockbuster, he goes on holidays.
Is anybody out there prepared to say Spike would beat Andy? (Personally I'd give him a great chance.)
Spike Andy wont happen now as both are not with ******, so why would ****** promote it, plus Spike has beat no one near the top 20 yet so let him fight some decent names first before he fights for a world title.
Someone tell me which irish boxers in all the wrights have a chance of qualfiying for the olympics... i know about watd, conlan, barnes, Reilly, who else is there?
McComb is quality aswel 60kg, he did very well against Albert Selimov, also Adam Nolan 69kg is top class aswel, he can beat anyone on his day but he struggles to be consistent. We have a good 52 kg fighter coming through aswel only 18 Willie Donoghue who is a world junior champion, anyone of the lads can qualify all quality, the 2 heavyweights O'Neill who boxed at 75 in London 2012 and Gardiner are probably are weakest but with a lucky draw they could easily qualify.
I beleive the 52k champ will qualify (casey,irvine or donoghue) the 64k(moylett,walsh or kelly who is dropping down) and the 69k (nolan or donnelly)There will be 10 places in europe left after the wsb the apb and the world championships,any of those 8 lads would expect to gain a place,also i expect Mc Comb to be there,
If McComb doesn't qualify through worlds he'll have to get through David Oliver Joyce at the seniors. Can't wait for the seniors this year, with so much on the line there's going to be some cracking fights!
Of course I did. But by around the time of the Craig McKewn fight I knew he was never going to be world class... Who could have forseen what was to come, in fairness.....
