    That 200K offer has been on the table for ages, its too low IMO.
    Sinclair looked great against Coyle, very sharp, so I think he outboxes and possibly stops duddy.
    Rogie destroys sexton this time, no more gentlemanly conduct.
    And a fight in Belfast for Paul means he wins by wide UD

    I don't see why people think Sinclair will beat Duddy just because he looked good against a distinctly average Henry Coyle who should never be fighting above 147.Sinclair has folded in every tough fight and they don't come much tougher than Duddy.OK he's a better boxer but unless he catches Duddy cold early i don't give him much chance

    If Duddy put on a good performance against Sinclair and maybe stopped him or won well on points, it would certainly restore my faith in him, as he has been disappointing in his last few fights.

    Sinclair is an enigma, I cannot understand why he has not achieved more in his career, but, he has now accumulated a lot more experience and has the tools to do a lot of damage.

    That said, Coyle was an easy opponent for him last time out, I saw Coyle on the Dunne title bill and he struggled with a poor opponent, Sinclair was still out a for long period and with that in mind I was impressed with how sharp and accurate he was with his shots.

    its a pity about garcia.what connections does this oner fella have?he seems to be pulling the strings for every cuban fighter and now it sounds like he wants to try muscle in on fighters he has nothing to do with.its a shame but if garcia has that kind of attitude sell his contract and leave him waste away over in miami.and then acosta didnt want to go cos his friend wasnt.talk about biting the hand that feeds you

    Hes based in america which i suppose would be a more atractive place for a cuban to go ( funny after all they have done to that island over the last 50 years). I think oner is based on the west cost which is where most of the cubans live , i think.

    Lads I hate to sound smart about this but did anyone actually think that the Cuban lads were going to behave forever. They were/are always going to milk Hyde for all they can get then **** off to bigger things. This (or something along these lines) was always likely to happen. Hyde may have treated them like kings but I hope he wasn't naive enough to believe that it would secure their loyalty. They were always likely to use Hyde up then move along.
    I heard something had happend in sparring but having heard the details I can't say I'm too surprised. Treating them like kings will give them massive heads and come back to bite you in the arse. The Cubans problems will begin if and when they jump ship and head off to the states. Then if things don't go to plan for them they will find the people who are all over them now trying to get them away from Hyde will be quick to leave them in the dust as soon as they are no use to them anymore.

    dealing with boxers is just like dealing with people in real life; give and take


    so far it seems as if the give has been on a one way street. they owe gary hyde and

    someone should remind them. if garcia continues to mess him about, screw him back

    and hold him to a contract, dont let him fight. as for the youngest one having the well if

    hes not going im not going that it just pathetic. never mind what age he is if hes a pro

    hes a pro. they never got good crowds or interest in them in ireland cos people smell a

    crock of **** a mile off.

    pacman id say the reason that people havent taken an interest is because they dont know of them , granted some know about perez because he was on tv
