    breen is confident that mccloskey can easily beat witter and olusegun...no worries there fightfan.

    martin rogan= ulster senior runner-up heavyweight 2002
    = ulster senior superheavy champion 2003
    = irish junior superheavy champion 2003
    = irish senior superheavy champion 2004

    thats off the top my head...but i think its right

    I'd love to see him avenge his loss to Vera. On the domestic scene, I'd like to see him fight Barker. Interestingly, according to Irish Ropes he turned down the chance to fight Wlad Smitchet because he didn't want to show Duddy up.

    No idea on the injury but hopefully he'll be back in action soon - needs to get a run of fights to be back to his best.

    I thought showing duddy up would be what he would want to do do as duddy is considered the best mw in ireland.
    How important do you all see manny in his development? I can see him picking up things from wlad like this "pawing" jab. I know wlad is a very effective boxer and he can learn a lot in detroit but maybe he would be better of in ireland with breen, What do you all think?

    Wlad's pawing jab is there to set up his sledgehammer right.Lee is at the same **** but doesn't have enough power in his left to hurt his opponents with one shot.I don't know why the **** he doesn't utilise his right hook more often - thats his money punch.

    I heard a wicked rumour that Paddy is having a grand unveiling and that all the ESB posters here are invited. He'll play a dvd of the fight followed by the unveiling apparently :deal

    I wonder will there be free gargle at it? :good

    Watching one of your favorite fighters win big always gives you that content feeling...nothing can compare. Except, with me of course, finishing a painting thats going into the 2nd week. I feel on top of the world when ever I finish something. Celebration time, for sure!

    :good

    And when I don't have anything to paint, I'm down in the dumps.:|

    It all depends on whether your rich or not!:lol:

    Seriously, the composition has alot to do with it. But generally, I'm getting in the neighborhood of $500 & that includes the shipping & supplies. Don't even want to think about my hourly rate. This Dunne painting is gonna top 40 hrs without a doubt.
