Irish Boxing

That Szabo chap looks shocking!! He has no redeaming boxing feature at all from the looks of it...

 

lads , i thought mccloskey had to fight olesgun for the lonsdale belt, and now he seems to be fighting witter. Does this mean he will be giving up the lonsdale?

 

john breen today said in 2days irish news...that they were looking 2 get that defence put off until later in the year...they want 2 fight witter first in june

 

Would this suggest that they think theres a decent chance of mccloskey losing to olesgun?

 

also in the irish news... 700 tickets were sold 4 big rogie at the odyssey in the first 2 hours of them going on sale...demand 4 tickets is high...so if ur looking a ticket u may get it now:good

 

jaysus the lad who is fighting barret is shocking didnt come to fight i dont know why he didnt go to the body with the amount of space there with the way he was holding his hands.

 

I think the Witter fight just makes more sense as it's for the European title and will lead to bigger fights - he's a much bigger name, quite well known in the States after facing Judah and Bradley.

But yeah, Breen is probably also a bit apprehensive of Olusegun.

 

Thanks fra, I may get a ticket before all the cheap ones go.Looks like another big night for boxing here. Whos all going to Belfast to watch Rogan:happy:happy

 

not me other engagements that have to be seen to

however I'll be getting my fix of heavyweight boxing in Germany in June

 

Hi lads. I was hoping to get some info on Martin Rogan - and where else to look?

When did he enter boxing at amateur level, and how many Irish senior titles did he win?

I know he began around 2000, but unfortunately I wasnae too interested in the noble sport back then.

Any help appreciated, cheers

 

Javier Mora is a big step up for Mike. Forget the Ibragimov fight (the only time he has been stopped) and he has a good enough record. He mightn't have faced many good fighters, but unlike Perez previous opponents he has managed to put most of them away. His No Contest with Kirk Johnson is on youtube, ignoring the end of it you'll get a good idea of how good he is.

 

Is any one going to an audience with Ricky Hatton in the summer?

 

Very much doubt it paddy
Lads, Does anyone have ideas of who lee should fight next? Id bet it will be another gimme. Hopefully he wont be out long with that eye like last time . Anyone got an update on whether he will need surgery?

 

Could someone tell me, Is "cadet" an age level in the amateurs?

And seniors is over 18?

 

Cadets are 16 and you can fight senior at 17.
