Irish Boxing

hey paddy is it still schedualed for 26th sept and is there any ideas of the undercard

 

as i said there are some contractual problems to be ironed out!

when they get sorted an announcement will be made :hey

 

I would say Andy Murray and Paul McCloskey

not sure of the rest of it.

I wouldnt mind seeing Katie Taylor box again

she got a hell of a reception last time

 

Imagine the ring announcer trying to introduce "The Thai". He'll need plenty of practice at that monster of a second name.

 

Have alook at the thread on world champions per capitia-should interest all Irish boxing fans!

 

hyland vs ***an rematch be something else if the iaba let katie fight it be great for boxing but a kick in the teeth for golden cobra promotions

(33-2, 21 KO’s) steps into the ring on August 14th (NESportsTV.com PPV, $10 USD, conversion rates apply outside US) against Ivanhoe, North Carolina’s Donnell Holmes (31-0-2, 27 KO’s), he’ll have a new trainer in his corner: 2008 Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach. “I just took a shot and called him and said ‘hey” and told him my deal and my record and asked if you mind if I come out and train? He said I’d love to have ya”, said Minto recently, adding “We hit it off with a good relationship. Freddie is a great trainer but other than that he’s a good person..”

Roach currently trains pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight titleholder Amir Khan

Roach said about training Minto, “We’re trying to work on his angles a little bit more instead of standing in front of people and trading with them and just improving his all around game.”

Roach has previously worked with noteworthy heavyweights including current heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko, former champ Mike Tyson, and former heavyweight title challenger James Toney. He’s also worked with world champions in lower weight classes such as Oscar De La Hoya

and Bernard Hopkins.

While working with Roach, Minto has regularly been sparring with top cruiserweight Ola Afolobi. Top notch sparring he hopes will pay off August 14th.

“He’s like James Toney

times ten he’s so slick”, said Minto of Afolobi, “I know Donnell doesn’t have that slickness at all. He’s a pretty basic guy.”

However, Holmes doesn’t seem too concerned with Minto’s new trainer.

“That doesn’t really mean anything to me”, said Holmes, “I don’t worry about who’s outside the ring, just who’s in the ring.”

WOW! THATS ALL IT TAKES IS A PHONECALL!

 

If it's Mike Goodhall he'll probably get Kratingdaenggym (slightly) wrong, even though it's not that hard to say.

The real problem will come for Jimmy Magee and Dave Boy McAuley, who are going to struggle with the word Poonsawat all night

 

I love Dave Boy, when I rewatch the dunne title fight I can't stop laughing at him "He's got him Goin"

 

I wonder if RTE have money to show this Dunne fight. With all the cut backs could Dunnes first defence not be shown live on RTE? I think this may add to the delay in the fight not being sorted out yet as in date. Could Peters be in talks with Sky or other companies about the rights to show the fight?
Last fight I liked the bill and I hope Peters does the same again in a pro-am event. As all of amaturs got a great support from the crowd. Didn't like the Talyor fight with the ring men it was wrong and the noise from the women in the crowd it was like being at a Westlife concert.

 

You seem to know something we don't about RTE's budget!

 

FFS when are we going to get confirmation of the Dunne fight and also when McCloskey fights again...

 

:tong I wish I did know.
