He was a tough lad but I wish that it had been let to go on a little longer cause I reckon I could have got a proper KO but I suppose in a fight that dosent mean much there's no point in lads taking too much punishment. There's lots of things that I can work to improve but I'm interested in hearing what you noticed bam bam and maybe I can work on it ps hopefully sparring acosta on Monday before I go to England
The stoppage was probably a bit early but there wasn't that much wrong with it to be honest. The lad was lucky if he hit you a half dozen times and you caught him with solid shots on a regular basis. I think Irving just had enough of watching your man taking punishing shots with nothing much coming back. Ah it was only a little thing I noticed and I'm probably talking through my arse anyway. I just thought when you covered up, which you did very well, there was one minor thing you could have done a tiny bit better. When you'd blocked his shots/he'd finished his attack there were 2 or 3 times you were a little slow to come back with your own stuff. There was one there was definitely a counter opportunity if you had have snapped back really quickly with a lead right hand or whatever. Anyway, I'm not having a whinge just always looking for ways to get better. Busy week for you if you get a few rounds in with Acosta before heading off to spar Booth. Is your next fight definitely a 4 rounder or are you upping it to 6?
Yes I know your pain, my shots are usually worse than those ones which are good quality and you caught the lights well too to avoid noise and all that. It's harder than people think to capture a good snap. My camera's a Sony a380 which is fine for what I need and I have a special lense for long shots but not taken any at a pro fight yet, just amateur and in the gym sparring. Were you covering it for Boxing Scene?
If I knew what all the buttons were I would be doin a bit better - altering the shutter speed and all that is still beyond me. Dean Parr was covering it for Boxing Scene but I was just there to have a look at Maher so I could be sure that he would smash Prunty into the middle of next week and had the dancing ability to jig on his freshly dug grave! :good
You can be Maher's promoter and Paddy can be Prunty's. We'll get some serious smack talk going on. It would probably do more to hype the fight than their real promoters!
:deal Prunty has a provent record as an exciting power puncher. Maher has yet to register one win by big KO you guy is being spoon fed while prunty is tested evertime he gets in the ring! Your trying to position your man into a fight he has no chance of winning although if you want maher to loose his duck egg your going the right way about it! your boy doesnt even jump the rope when coming to the ring.... hes lost the fight before the first bell sounds!
Lets do a SWOT analysis on Prunty Strengths - Six pack - Nickname - Shorts - Surfing - and er, Strength Weakness - Natural ability - Name, "Prunty" - sounds like an Edwardian blood desease, "he's got the Prunty, dont go within 150 yards" - He is that conditioned that he has no where else to go and is already maxed out Opportunity - Chance of to sleep walk in a zombific state toward an Irish welterweight title shot - Working on a Hatton Promotion show, who actually pay cash for fighting as opposed to portions of root vegetables - Opportunity to beat a boxer that that has actually one a fight Threats - Death threats - Threats of eviction after his career is ruined - The threat that he might someone that isnt a Bulgarian lorry driver :deal
:rofl paddy wants prunty to fight the trailor thrash from the lounge as a warm up for your man...that could make all the difference here:bbb
got some tickets as im going to be over in Dublin that weekend. with Hennessey losing his ITV deal i reckon he will be trying to keep Tyson Fury active and it wouldnt suprise me to see him get added in a 6 rounder, could fight the winner of Kenna-Barrett next too. any word on Carl Frampton or any other prospects being added?
And so it begins! :good You two lads can have Prunty and Maher. I'm sticking with Frampton, I'll just have to get wee Barry smashed drunk and talk him into selling me a percentage of the contract :deal
