Irish Boxing

yup its not great

 

Low lie the Fields of Athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly!

 

:good

 

Well here is the good and not so good side of the undercard as I see it.

The Good - Having ***an, Hyland, Hauighan Murray and possibly Fury.
---
The not so good - the competitors they will be lines up against.
--
The best - The very good- Sweeney V Power matchup because it will be competitive.

 

anyone else think that that may have left it a little late to sell all the tickets?

 

Not really because the purse bid wasn't that long before the announcement

 

Is that it for the undercard?Seems a bit light although if Fury is on then it will pack out the card a bit.As it stands it definetly needs at least one more fight.Realisticaly who would you like to see on it?

 

I was hoping for McCloskey as well. I think the undercard is poor:-(

 

I dont think its poor just a bit light on contests,The problem is Peters will never be able to top the card he had the last time.Expectation is very high now.Power Sweeny,Hyland Killu both should be explosive,Not to sure about Murrays opponent but if ***an and Haughian are matched competitively it wil be a good card if not then a lot depends on Power and Sweeny.Still a world title fight is a world title fight.
