Irish Boxing

I know whats went wrong with him. Was it a fluke when he won the youths last year, or is it that he thought he only had to show up to win these Irish titles. One positive is there must be strength in dept in our amateur ranks when other boxers are defeating him.:bbb

 

I really hope its the latter.

 

how good is this lad that beat moylett:good

 

Rumour has it Moylett was killed at the weight HOWEVER Hyland picked his shots very well and controlled throughout

 

i take u were there....there is a lot of talent from belfast i noticed by the reported posted by nutter:good

 

belfast and ulster boxing in general is rapidly becoming the best in amateur boxing in ireland.......the ulster senior championships this year should be highly cometitive

 

"becoming the best" - never realised it wasnt!

 

Marathon session at Intermediate Championships

Saturday, 28 November 2009 23:11
The National Intermediate Championships are now down to the semi-finals stage after a marathon session of quarter-final bouts - and a number of semi finals - were decided today.
Ciaran O'Neill and Ruairi Dalton both won their last four clashes this evening, O'Neill beating Paul McGrath 8-4 and Holy Trinity bantamweight Dalton out-pointing Liam McGuinness in an all-Belfast decider.
Meanwhile, Donal O'Leary, Michael Frayne, Mark Carlyle, Brian Fitzpatrick and Sean Allen triumphed in the first five quarter-final bouts of the late session.

Patrick O'Shea ensured that another Cork boxer reached the last four after his cruiserweight clash with Sean McHale was stopped in the second after the Ballinacarrow club-man suffered a facial injury.
Brendan Cregan and Robbie Burke had the audience on their feet after coming through an edge-of-¬the-seat 85Kg clash. Cregan was ahead for most of the bout, but Burke's relentless pursuit saw the Dubliner restore parity inside the final minute.
Cregan edged back in front inside the final 15 seconds. However, he then received a public warning for dropping his head inside the final ten seconds and Burke advanced by a one point margin.

Heavyweight Robert Kraska drew one of the biggest cheers of the night following his win over Lorcan McCann and Daniel Sherry had four points to spare over James Barrett.
Sean Turner, the current Irish U-18 and U-21 champion, who had Olympic champ Michael Carruth and Tony Davitt working his corner, was the pick of the super heavyweights.
The Drimnagh man, who was 5-1 up at the end of the first courtesy of a fine array of punches, beat fellow Dubliner Martin Stokes 18-3.
Daniel Sherry, Christopher Devanney and Kenneth Okunghbowa, who beat Stephen McMonagle, also posted wins in the super heavyweight category.
Meantime, Niall Murray was always in control of his welterweight contest with Paul Upton in the opening bout of this afternoon's session.

The Gorey featherweight was 8-0 up deep into the second round of this encounter and added another four points to his tally in the third.

Crumlin's Stephen Carroll caused one of the upsets of the day after registering a 7-4 win over Patrick J Ward. Carroll was 1-0 up early in this three rounder but Ward appeared to have regained the initiative after claiming the next two points.

However, the Olympic club-man was rocked by a big right hook midway through the second as Carroll - who was beaten 15-1 by Ward in the recent U-21 Championships - worked his way toward a well deserved win.

Emmet Brennan and Conrad Cummins also impressed today along with Bernard Roe, who edged out Andreas Soldar in a top class middleweight decider.

Luke Keeler came from behind to beat David O'Gorman in the final male quarter-final of this afternoon.

Impressive St Francis light welterweight Jessie Lyons saw off the challenge of Dungarvan's Ciara Doyle in the 63Kg female semi-final.

The Championships resume next Friday night with semi-finals in most weight categories. The finals will be held on Friday 11 December.

Anyone know how good Paul T Hyland is?


A bit that was in the mirror lads-

Jonny Stapleton
Irish boxer John Duddy is not banking on a mouth watering clash with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to propel him back into middle weight contention next year.



Talk is currently rife about the two popular contenders going head to head in a potential world title eliminator in early 2010.



Such speculation was fueled by, Bob Arum when he earmark St Patrick’s Day as a possible date for the bout after watching crowd puller Duddy put his sole loss behind him with victory over Michi Munoz in October.



But the Derry Destroyer, who returns to the ring on a Top Ran Promoted Show on January 23 against a yet to be named opponent, claims all Chavez talk is just that, talk.



A victory over a big name like Chavez Jr., which a lot of pundits believe is very possible, would she the likeable Derry native put his shock and sole defeat to Billy Lyell well behind him whilst simultaneously placing him back in line for world title shot.



Duddy would love the fight to be made but he is only focused on the 23rd and keeping busy in 2010.



“I have a press conference next Thursday for a fight on the 23rd of Janurary at Madison Square garden. It's a Top rank show and hopefully it will be a good start to the year for me. There is a lot of talk about me and Chavez Jr. but it seems to be only talk. I've a fight now so all I'm concerned about is January 23rd.

“It is a fight that I would love to happen. I think it would put me back in centre stage again. But boxing being boxing I never put all my hopes on one fight. I just have to keep myself busy next year,” Duddy said before revealing he will not be fighting in Ireland any time soon.

“Fighting back in Ireland is always a dream for me. The experiences in Dublin and Belfast are some of the highlights of my career. But nothing is being talked about yet with regard to boxing at home. I think I've enough to think about and work towards at the moment.”

 

did patrick gallagher beat moylette in the under 21s also...i think like a lot of the other posters here that moylette form as slipped a lot


this is a fight the duddy boy can win...chavez has not got the strength of a top flight middle...and his defence is as bad as johns...bring it on...and fast b4 some1 else gets 2 junior first

 

Aye those ****ing northerners love an auld digging match :good

 

Hylands not great at all he's very very average. A nice lad but. Ray must be having problems with the weight. How can the world youth (junior) champion lose against some1 who wouldn't win the ulster intermediates?

 

Well for all our hypothesis I reckon auld Carlos knows better than us. I guess it is a case of Moylette hitting a slump rather than having ever overachieved.

I know you don't want to say anything controversial there now Carlos but did you think he was World Champion standard when you saw him box or was he just a really good boxer who peaked at the right time. Or maybe he is somewhere in the middle

 

traditionally ulster has probably been the strongest province...but belfast has had a bit of a lean spell for several years, until now...the under 21 toutnament was a fantastic success for belfast, which hopefully will transfere over to the seniors

 

Anthony Fitzgerald vs Lee Murtagh has been cancelled with Lee Muratgh pulling out through injury.....

So thats 2 fights off that card now....Anthony Fitzgerald and Jamie Conlon
