Irish Boxing

My pieces are littered with spelling mistakes.

I have a touch of dyslexia, classic signs - doubling up of words etc - I need a good copyeditor (anyone volunteering?)

 

Andy Murray seems to have taken a fare share of criticism lately. I think the man has a decent level of skill and is is still young enough to make improvements. He also seems to have a great level of fitness and I think he can reach Euro level if the timing is right.

Another boxer who I think has potential is spike but I have to admit I am ignorant as to who he spars with and the track record Collins brings as his manager. I am sure the collins link is good for contacts though. I would not like to bet against either of these 2 especially if Spike is still young but my only doubt is the weight. He looks very small for a 160 fighter! As for the Hylands it really seems to be the year that will make or break them because they certainly have enough experience (all of them) to be stepping to the next level. We won't know until it happens but I really hope to see some challenges this year. On a separate note I am a little concerned McCloskey is stagnating a little. If he fights Lauri in May I guess he may only be fighting twice this year? He surely can test himself but I guess they need a few quid in the bank before that can happen!

 

Are RTE showing the finals does anyone know?

 

i am in 100% agreement with ya moorser. imo paul will never win a world title and may never even fight for one but i hope im wrong..he would want to make two defences if he beats lauri this year to be making any headway.

 

:deal these two are worth the price of admission alone!

 

the finals themselves are on tv but i dont think they are showing the semi's

 

As my editor said - "written through a veil of tears"

Prizefighter winners Ardy??

I think Sinclair, Arron, Flournoy, O'Meara.

I backed Rogie to win the first ever series, but generally my prediction history is patchy at best. Sorry if this is wrong I wasn't paying full attention to the previous run of posts.

 

im the same-without proof readers i would never had made a paper desk!!!then again one editor told me 'you can always fix a spelling mistake. Getting a good story and writing it in style is the hard thing to do'

 

as far as i am aware- as the finals are no over two nights- which is crazy- they are waiting to see if they will do a highlights package thing with the best of the two nights action-- or bite the bullet and pick the best line up...

not 100 percent on that just what i heard

 

I am in agreement! but i dont know how to put that down as an accum!!

 

its not rocket salad.

Prizefighter
Sinclair to beat Pryce 6/5
Arron to beat Hillyard 2/7
Flournoy to beat Butler 7/4
O'Meara to beat Concepcion 8/13

€10 accumulator


For the record it comes out at about 12/1

 

Agreed on that:yep
