Irish Boxing

Met Jamie today. "Interviewed by RTE and all they asked about was my brother then left!"

Also bemused by the 'Michael Conlan is going pro after Rio - wow!' coverage. Not an open secret, in fact he's said this in the media dozens upon dozens of times.

I reckon RTE & Co actually want all amateurs to 'turn pro' ASAP so they no longer have to provide what limited coverage they do now.

 

^ I don't think the conspiracy runs that deep....but rte are a disgrace alright..😀 co lone opponent looks pretty hopeless....certainly he'd want to be fighting and winning at a far higher level than this if he is to have a chance in hell against butler next year.....Jamie v Paul is madness...madness

 

The guy Conlon is fighting literally looks like he was dragged off the street.

Hopefully he steps up after this

 

Beat the Hand last week. Hopefully take it to Edinburgh tomorrow! !!

 

Was at the show tonight, very good. Bazza, Whitehouse, Carroll, and Creagh all in entertaining fights.

And Lynn Harvey, destroyed her opponent and the support she had was unreal! If she can retain that she will be a fixture on all small hall shows in the future

 

He WILL step up l b.....too big a step up. Paul butler to be exact. Butler will go through conlon like poo thru a goose.

 

butler is isn't the best... me thinks u have been listening to barry jones hyperbole on him:good

 

I go by my own judgement fra. You should know that....and my judgement says conlon gets murdered v butler.....if .and it's a big if....conlon is ever going to reach butlers level, he won't do it by sourcing opponents from his local tatoo parlour, which seems to be what happened here.

 

I know you Irish boxing fans are very nationalistically loyal, but if you're watching the Dublin card you're missing a great one in Monte Carlo.

 

The opponents on this card are dog****e... Absolutely brutal.

The fighters and the crowd seem bored.

 

^ Told ya. :deal

 

We still have the Irish welterweight fight coming up, and that should be a good one... hopefully

But the rest has been brutal. Wasn't even aware of the card in Monte Carlo, or that Provodnikov was on it.

 

No poppy on McGregor tonight...

 

The boys are marching on!

 

yea McGregor is a d.i.c.k..... I enjoyed last nights show...and there was a decent crowd...hope theres more of these shows....Dublin boxing could get back to where it was a few years back:good
