    Magee is an encyclopedia when it comes to facts (although thats debatable too) but he has zero clue about how to call a fight.

    I have to laugh how at the end of every round he insists it simply has to be an irish round, regardless of what happens.

    He fancies himself as an expert on the sport but hes a perfect example of showing that just because you know everything about every fighter, doesnt mean **** all if you cannot call the action in the ring.

    He can't and he never actually could. He must make a list of facts before every fight to reel off whilst the action unfolds.

    I agree mate, Jimmy is only worth a listen for nostalgia purposes at this point.

    Yeah I thought Jimmy Magee would of been happy picking up his Old Age Pension by now. Sadly not the case. I think Donovan is good on the commentary.

    As for the am's at the moment if both Joe Ward and Michael Conlan win a World title it will give those lads a huge boost going into the Rio games next year it will be amazing for the lads. I am being optimistic I think both will win gold at the Worlds and Olympics IF they are both injury free next year.

    Also I do wonder how many of this team will go pro over the next 2 years. Be it by missing out on Rio or after it. I think Michael Conlan and Joe Ward will go pro after Rio. Not too sure about Paddy Barnes i wouldnt be shocked if he stays am. The rest of the High Performance team is young lads who i think will stay on a bit longer.

    As for Andy Lee v Billy Joe its a winable fight for Andy. I think Andy will win by a late stopage. Billy Joe tends to fade away abit. I thinks Andys power wil win him the fight in the end.

    Any word on Frampton v Quigg or Whoever??

    I want him to say "Im retiring" like Ive been doing for years - which he more than likely will be saying at Xmas.
    Can you honestly stand over such ridiculous talk as uniting the titles at 160? Seriously? Come on....

    He claimed he'd knock Golovkin out for one thing.

    ''I think I’d knock Golovkin out. He has that Mike Tyson factor; everyone is beaten before they get in the ring with him. It’s going to take somebody who doesn’t give a **** about him, someone who’ll get in there and give him back exactly what he dishes out''

    So what is he supposed to say - that he'd razzle-dazzle GGG with balletic Ali-esque skills to a wide points win!
    Of course a ko is his only chance.

    Anyway Andy has said that he wpuld walk straight out to meet GGG head-on ffs. Like THAT would work - yeah right!!

    And in case you haven't ntoiced Andy wasn't shouting out about how he spark him out, just letting us know about the tactics he'd employ. It was very honest actually. It would be even more ridiculous to think you could outbox Golovkin for 12 rounds. Everyone knows you have to hurt him to beat him. Stop arguing Len, you look a fool.

    Spike MAY have a chance - untapped potential we havent seen yet etc etc. We KNOW Andy has no chance. Thats the difference.

    Just against GGG. That would be 1 fight.
