Irish Boxing

lol who you talkin to son?

nah I just tell it like I see it, Ellis has the heart of a split pea, and Furey has yet to show me anything, he's not completely useless but how come any giant who can throw a punch is automaticallly called a "good prospect"? If he was a foot shorter would he look so good?

 

fury looks ok ....ffs he only 20...only been boxing 4 four years...he has years 2 get better:good

 

ardy mate, that is ****ing unbelievable !


good to see rematch is going to happen.

 

****ing A....that is the news....thats cheered me up big time:good

 

You know the way sometimes losing can do you more good than harm? Just look at all the publicity Rogan is getting after that debacle on Friday night, look at all the support people (and not just Irish people) are showing him. Even though Sexton now has the commonwealth title around his waist, nobodies talking about him, it's all about Rogan!
This "defeat" is getting him recognition all around the world, just look at the Youtube vid, I think it got about 17,000 hits in 24 hours!
This rematch will be huge!

 

u could b rite there pal...i take u might even consider flying in from the windy city 4 this 1:good

 

I'm only in Chicago for work, will be coming home before September so I will be there without a doubt!

 

nice1..all the esb boys can meet up and get full da ****...oh aye i almost forgot, watch some boxing:good

 

Sounds like a good plan!
:thumbsup

 

Magic man magic:thumbsup

 

Tyson Fury waiting on Belshaw

Tyson Fury is out to make a statement of intent at the Watford Colosseum this Saturday when he takes to the ring for his first scheduled 8 round contest. The undefeated heavyweight sensation has stopped all five of his professional opponents to date and he's hoping that fellow heavyweight giant Scott Belshaw will become victim number 6 this weekend.
Fury is a special attraction on the undercard of the Darren Barker - Darren McDermott Commonwealth Middleweight title clash which headlines the Hennessy Sports event live on ITV4.
Northern Ireland's Belshaw had been due to fight in Belfast at the weekend but his contest fell through at the last minute leaving him free to take on Fury this Saturday night.
"My promoter's offered Belshaw the fight and all his demands have been met so lets hope he doesn't chicken out now," said Fury. "His team have said that he's up for it and he's got everything he asked for so the only thing I need to know now is that he's going to turn up on Saturday night."
Belshaw, a five time Irish Amateur Champ, has just one defeat (later avenged) on his 11 fight pro record with seven of his ten wins coming inside the distance. The 6 foot 7 inch, 23-year-old has been hailed as the second coming of George Foreman by promoter Frank Maloney but Fury isn't taking that prediction too seriously.
"I don't expect to be buying a Scott Belshaw grill any time soon but I can promise him a roasting on Saturday night. Some people seem to think he's a top prospect but we'll find out who the real deal is at the weekend.
"I'm up for fighting any of these other so called prospects because there's no point in me going around saying I'm the best young heavyweight out there unless I'm willing to back it up.
I'll be ready to make a move on the British or Commonwealth titles this year and what I saw in Belfast on Saturday night with Sam Sexton taking the Commonwealth title from Martin Rogan backs that up. I offered to take on Sexton in his back yard in just my third pro fight but he didn't want to know so he's already running scared."
Fury is just back from a trip to Germany where he got in some quality sparring ahead of this weekend's contest. "I've been finding it hard to get sparring in the U.K. let alone opponents so it was good to travel over to Germany where most of the top guys are based these days.
"It was great to get some quality sparring under my belt over there and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hopefully it will show in my performance on Saturday."
Fury's sixth pro outing is part of an excellent supporting cast to the main event at the Watford Colosseum on Saturday night with Darren Barker defending his Commonwealth Middleweight title against Darren McDermott.
In the chief support bout Matthew Thirwall and George Hillyard will battle it out in what promises to be a thrilling ten round Middleweight clash while hot prospects Bradley Evans, Steve O'Meara, Steve Barnes and the pro debut of Phill Fury (subject to board approval) also feature. Tickets are available from the Ticketline box office on 0844 888 4402 or via www.ticketline.co.uk.​
