Fra, Joyce on in the evening session, starts 6 their time. Joyce on about now!

 

Did john Joyce win

 

Missed the first, Joyce controlling the second English guy just got a count

 

Wait that was the 3rd round

 

Joyce won a close one!

 

Joyce wins sd. Seemed to control the end of the second and the last round from what I saw

Same chanting there's only one Johnny Joyce lmfao . It's pretty comical

 

English fella tall with very fast hands...as I said very close...and when I think it was close...???

 

The English fella looked huge compared to Joyce. Only caught the last round and I taught Joyce took it easy

 

Ok Fra - maybe you have some back door way of getting a ticket, I hope so anyway.
There has to be some rules and regulations governing ticket sales to an event like this to protect the public. Consumer protection legislation etc. Ticket prices were fixed well in advance - announced by the promoter in fact, & now these same tickets are available through 'middlemen' at grossly inflated prices. This cant be right.

 

Yes I felt it was a close decision aswell,so did the English corner haha,

 

The report said Joyce had him down twice too. Was it a robbery?

 

Watched a large amount of today's quarters back hand happy seems to be the way nearly all the fighters are out there,
Front hand to feint then bug backhand maybe followed by a front hook at times,
Watched approx 12 fights today and can't remember thinking that lad has a good jab,
Scoring systems dictate boxing styles this seems to be the new way,I'm not really a fan,it is exciting but wild at times,

 

Yeah, I agree with your take on it.

 

I'm sure more of ye feel the same, I just dashed this off to

"Dear sir,
I am once again flabbergasted at your lack of coverage of Irish amateur boxing. I don’t know is it bias or ignorance but it is not acceptable from a national broadcaster. You could find hours of coverage time for the so-called “Billy Walsh” affair because you sensed a big negative that ultimately didn’t exist but when five youth boxers guaranteed the country at least five bronze medals from ten weight catagories at the European championships, it didn’t merit even a second of acknowledgement on the six o’clock news. Thirty eight countries are participating at these games, the final step before senior boxing, indeed several boxers from these games will make the Olympics in Rio. This is a major sport with every country in the world partaking, not a post colonial game like hockey or rugby union. Only soccer and athletics rival it for international participation.
We get blanket coverage of the “ rugby “world cup, held for Britain and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France and Argentina. We are saturated with soccer coverage and superlatives because we squeezed into the European finals of consisting of twenty four countries-yet our senior boxers came fourth in the recent World championships. The old chestnut that it’s not popular with the public doesn’t wash, put it on with a bit of style and the country will be talking about the boxers. It’s your duty as a public broadcaster and the Irish public have a right to know and be justly proud of our boxers. You have fifteen news stories up on your main sports page, most of them speculation, the only news item is that an average MMA fighter is retiring. It’s nothing short of bizarre. By the way I’m no boxing cheer-leader, I manage a junior team, have national medals for athletics-my first love- and have trained GAA teams in the past, just looking for a bit of fairplay,
Regards
Matt Donnellon"
