Irish Boxing

Yeah have a bit about Frampton fight on irish boxing. Also steve was talking to Willie Thompson about a fight with Haughian. Meeting Sinclair now. Should have some info about his plans, and whether he will be fighting James Moore in April...

 

tickets for fridays finals are 20, 30 and 50 euro??? thats terrible... we should be trying to promote boxing and to get new people in to see it!!! you get a discount on Sat- if you go Fri- doesnt say how much though!

 

**** that. Trying to be a bit too clever there I'm afraid.

Frampton is going to smash the hungarian on Friday and Johnny Nelson is going to love it!

 

Frampton Hungary for KO
3 March 2010 - By Leonard Gunning Belfast’s heavy handed super-bantamweight prospect Carl Frampton, 4-0 (2KO) will face an unbeaten and unknown quantity in Hungary’s Istvan Szabo 1-0 (1KO) on the undercard of the Gary Sykes-Andy Morris battle for the British super featherweight title in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England on Friday, March 5.
Frampton, a two-weight Irish senior amateur champion, is no stranger to Hungarian fighters from his amateur days and beat one of their top boxers prior to his decision to join the pro ranks. But the exciting box-puncher isn’t taking the challenge of Szabo lightly.
“I can’t wait to go in there and show what I can do, I don’t know much about him apart from he is 33 and unbeaten with a knockout victory on his record,” he said.
“I beat the Hungarian amateur champion at featherweight and I am sure I will suss this one out as well.”
The Holy Family fighter returns to the ring fresh from a points victory over another unbeaten European opponent, Yoan Boyeaux, will now step up for the first six round fight of his career. Manager and mentor Barry McGuigan is sure that his protégé doesn’t have to worry about the extra two rounds, “Carl has just spent a week with us in Kent and he was dynamite.
“He worked on a few new elements of a training regime including interval runs, explosive weight training, skipping, hard sparring and some slick pad work were we focused on slipping punches and tucking up. It was a great weeks work and he left really buoyant,” enthused McGuigan.
During his stint in England with the Clones Cyclone, Frampton added Akaash Bhatia to his growing list of sparring partners, which also includes John Simpson and Jason Booth, as well a couple of members of the local Army boxing team.
Upon returning to Belfast the Tiger’s Bay fighter undertook even more sparring as he became reacquainted with former amateur foe David Oliver Joyce, who is in preparation for his 60kg Irish final against his St Michael's Athy clubmate Eric Donovan.
With all this hard work one could be forgiven if Frampton was tempted to storm the ring and search impatiently for a knockout win but the intelligent and pensive character knows what his mission is this Friday and intends to treat Szabo with the respect he deserves

 

Why doesnt Thompson stop ducking O'Brien and face him first and let the winner take on Haughian!

 

I was with you all the way on that one Slappy but then you started going soft on looking for the KO. Maximum banjo is what we want!!!!

 

Will this fight be on sky

 

It will be if he knocks the **** out of the boy. The main even is almost certain to go 12 rounds because the two boys don't bang too hard. Fury and Nurse are almost certain to be shown as well so an explosive KO is the most likely way of our Carlos getting shown unfortunately

 

I forgot I was going to final on friday, so will miss ffnatsch
