Irish Boxing

-----------------------------------------------------------
I have a couple of questions.

A> Does he have any plans to see a sports psychologist to iron out any potential mental scars he may have or tendancy to panic.

B> How much has he been focusing on his inside game.

c> Will he go after Sturm/ZBIK/Sylvester or Pavlik.

d> Will he be fighting another top 20 rated opponent this year?

e> Has he any desire to try out a new trainer

Obviously you may not be able to ask all of them but appreciate any you can. Lee is the real deal he just had a bad day at the office and a little bit of bad luck but I'm convinced he has the potential to give any 160 fighter out there a taste of the canvass.

 

Does he plan on learning to throw short punches and fight on the inside?

 

wil he be stepping up in his next fight?

 

Wayne.............. NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

You wouldn't get that sort of behaviour in tigers bay.
Very funny but

 

What's the craic andy?

 

Ask him what his favourite Kings of Leon song is :deal

 

Westlife or boyzone?

 

yes magee is very biased only see;s the local guy

 

Obviously you have plans to fight for a world title at some point in the future. How many fights away do you think it would be before it is a reality?

With so many promising prospects in the division right now, with the likes of Golovkin, Macklin, Pirog, N'Jikam close to stepping up on the world stage, it will certainly be one of the strongest divisions. Other than yourself, who do you think will be a top fighter in the division in the coming years.

Is Gamache going to be your trainer permanently. What do you find better/worse/different about having him in your corner?

And finally, I can't resist asking, Mayweather or Pac, who wins and why?

 

Nothing to do with doom and gloom. We just need more pragmatism when it comes to running shows down this part of the country. It's not an easy fix but its not impossible either. The problem is the cards need to be high quality and an affordable price with good financial backing. Now, with things as they are, thats a hard combination to find. Thats nothing but reality.

I've no worries about boxing up your neck of the woods. I think you could run a show every 2 months up there and sell it out. It just isn't the same here. Its harder work to sell them out. I think Peters probably needs to create a personality to capture peoples imagination again. The problem is if Peters (or any promoter) keeps running shows that don't sell then its inevitable that they will start having second thoughts. Now if that means to dropping to 5 or 6 shows for the time being then so be it. The blend and balance of these things needs to be got right.

I agree about Andy Lee. He's overdue to go back to Limerick IMO. And I'm sure he'll sell it out too.

Overall, what boxing in Dublin needs is a fighter with some personality that captures peoples imagination to start getting people who may be lapsed fans/borderline interested back to shows again.

 

Some one like Prunty but with boxing ability. :deal

 

Precisely. Prunty just has his rampant animalistic KO power (and shorts and six pack) without the subtlety of a rounded boxer :deal

I don't know who the next big thing will be from down here. We could get Carlos down and train him. Not the boxing bit but to be a Dub.

Repeat after me Carlos 'stoooorreeeee buuuddd'

You'd like to think Patrick Hyland can come through but he's not lit the spark that will capture public imagination yet. Maybe if Peters wades in behind him he can.

 

daddy or chips?
