You can do it James! He's a good boxer, but you can do it. Fight aggressive, but fight smart... keep your poise every round! I know he can't hear me, but what the hell!
Moore needs a knockout he's not going to get, Foreman isn't just winning these rounds he's winning them by a country mile. Now while Foreman is a good fighter, after seeing him against plenty of other guys I think this is more of a showcase of where Moore is at, rather than where Foreman is at. Combined with the loss to Rosado I think it may indicate that James Moore is a domestic and just above fighter, and nothing more than that. He's tough though, he'll take it from Foreman all night if he has to.
Henry Coyle, Irish title fight. At least that's what makes sense for me. He'd probably have an easier career fighting from home too.
three new stories on irish-boxing.com. Reports of Magee/McKay/Moore and about a documentary on Jimmy McLarnin
Thanks Cormac, Im very saddened about Moore. I havent seen the fight yet, but going by reports of the fight, he was taken to school.:-(
Unfortunately he was complete rubbish. I don't know if the occasion was too much for him or if it was just and off night or if he is just really limited. He hadn't a clue what to do for the entire fight. Looked to me like he had resigned himself to losing after 4-5 rounds. Also it was a bad sign that he was hit that often by a non-puncher that he was rocked more than once. Foreman hasn't real power but he connected that regularly that he got to Moore a couple of times. All our prospects (bar McCloskey) seem to have been derailed in the last 12-18 months
I suppose its not always about winning titles, its about raising the profile of professional boxing in Ireland, which is happening.The champions will come, maybe not with this punch of prospects, but maybe the next, say Sutherland for example.:think
