Irish Boxing

Can anyone confirm the exact nature of the injury that forced Ryan Burnett to retire?

 

You just have to hand it to Hogan. He is a very tough guy. Taking on a much bigger man. Once again we see boxing is not a body beautiful contest or a bodybuilding context....as Ruiz proved against Joshua last time. But the size difference is just ridiculous. Hogan isn't even a particularly big light middleweight. Charlo is a very big middleweight.

 

Come on Hogan get in and win the title for Ireland.

 

That didn't go well. Undersized and overmatched. But it does serve as a yardstick as to the level munguia is at, which is encouraging for spike!

 

Maybe, knowing his son better than anyone else he may have known Jason wasn't cut out for the pro game? And wanted no part of it?? Just guessing here but...

 

Well he gave it a go. Hopefully he'll go back to light middle

 

Hogan just not at that level. Tried hard have to give him his due, he done extremely well to get himself two World title shots though but for me he doesn't beat Keeler or Quigley if they were to match up in the future

 

Thanks for the response. Doesn't seem like a plausible reason though. He was by his side as he won medals at euros and worlds. He was also involved in Jason signing with Golden Boy. It always seemed like he was his biggest supporter but then disappeared. Even on social media there seems to be no mention of Conor.
My guess is there was some sort of a falling out but strangely there's been no mention of it whereas when KT and her father fell out it was well publicised. Both seemed to have as much of an influence on their son/daughter's career.

Ultimately it's not very important- just something that struck me!

 

* Dennis Hogan is in good spirits and is dropping back to 154 lbs and most
likely to fight in the US in first half of next yr.
* Another of Ireland 's top AM talents Clonard Flyweight Conor Quinn has
joined the same stable as Conor Wallace and making his pro debut on
the Gold Coast this week. CQ has represented Ireland National Team was
trained by Paddy Graham Sr and hopes to become as success like TJ
Doheny.

 

Is Luke Keeler getting a crack at a world title???

 

The Irish invasion continues

 

Yes end of January in Miami against Andrade

 

That's a sudden announcement, good luck to him against a very good champion.

 

Pretty much the worst possible style match up Luke could face. How do ye rate his chances? Hopefully he’ll come on here and tell us about it.....

 

On paper Lukes record is inferior to that of Andrade. Hence the odds. But we must consider that Luke has really only been a full time pro for a couple of years. Andrade has been doing nothing but boxing full time for years. You have to factor that in. When you consider how far Luke has progressed in the short time he's been a full time pro, maybe he isn't such an underdog after all. Luke's last fight was probably as impressive a performance as any from Andrade. Plus Luke has been making huge improvements from one fight to the next. If he continues to improve again in the Andrade fight anything is possible. He must go into this with a very positive attitude. Maybe Andrade is deservedly favourite but Luke is a live underdog here.
