    That fight will still happen when there's a show for it. But he'll be campaigning at light middle after.

    JJ McDonagh fites Darren Cruise for the irish title on Saturday .... the odds have been narrowing on this one with JJ starting a 1/5 but now dropping to 1/3 with paddy power.... am I missing something here as when they fought in prizefighter I thought JJ won handily enough... but cruise is being tipped by more than a few to win this one.. I think JJ on points:think:good

    I think JJ will do it too. He said his hands were badly damaged before he entered prize fighter and only entered for the money.

    Is it been shown anywhere?

    one thing that just dawned on me, how come none of the major urban areas in southern ireland have any fighters on the irish elite first 10?

    49kg - barnes (belfast)
    52kg - irvine (belfast) back up Willie O'DOnaghue (Offaly)
    56kg - Michael Conlon (Belfast)
    60kg - DOJ (Westmeath) Sean McComb (Belfast)
    64kg - Dean Walsh (Wexford) Ray Moylette (Mayo)
    69kg - Stephen donnelly (Ballymena i think ) Adam nolan (Wexford)
    75kg - Michael O'Reilly (Laois) John Joyce (West Meath)
    81kg - Joe Ward (Westmeath)
    91kg - Darren O'Neill ( Kilkenny)
    91kg plus - Dean Gardiner (Tipperary)

    not one boxer there from dublin, limerick, cork or galway, it is really weird especially when boxing around the world usually trives in urban areas.

    how come in Ireland with the exclusion of belfast do almost all our boxers come from rural arera?

    Just taking a wild flyer at it but could it have something to do with boxers from the other urban centres getting ripped off by dodgy judging against Dublin boxers? Maybe the 'Dublin mafia' dont see small-town country boxers as much of a threat to Dublin dominence and therefore give them (country boxers) a fairer shake????

    Kiril Afanasev and Thomas Carthy both on the High Performance now and are Dublin. George Bates also ran McComb very close in Seniors. Although yeah I get your point. Dublin used to be much more represented (Dunne, Egan, Sutcliffe, Geraghty, Sutherland, all the way back to Carruth and Griffin)

    Don't think so, seemed very much a blue-blooded Dub when I chatted with him

    Matthew Macklin looks in great shape for his fight with Rose. He will need to be. Anything less than a decisive win and its all over for him.
