Tomas mailed me yesterday saying nothing official but they will try and make it happen. I had a word with Sweeney the other day to try and encourage him aswell Hopefully it is confirmed
New stuff up at Irish-boxing: ***Martin Lindsay and Frank Maloney discuss a Belfast return for the featherweight king*** ***Stephen Haughian on his scrapped US debut*** ***Facebook page - Some photos from Lindsay-Arthur taken by our very own photo-journalist master Brendan Galbraith*** ***Coming soon...Sweeney vs. Tims and Lenny pays homage to Oisin ***an after he announces his retirement*** :bbb:bbb:thumbsup
Lukes right on the Money sweeney gave me a shout to say its done This is a great fight for irish boxing
I enjoyed those - very good read. I agree, a Lindsay defence in Belfast could accommodated in a bigger venue than the Ulster Hall.
This is great stuff by Peters or more importantly Tommy Rohan his matchmaker is this for a title? if so what weight are they fighting at? If they get Andy a good opponent it will be a good night.

Jacobs is set to fight in Vegas on the first of may http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=432984&cat=boxer It would be a great result for andy if he bet jacobs, i think it would do a lot for his confidence
I just dont see jacobs team taking a fight with Lee. Andy with his genuine punch power and decent skills would be high risk no reward for jacobs. Danny throws 100 punches a round and andy would have to be at his very best to beat him IF THE FIGHT HAPPENS AT ALL!
I think andy just needs to be put in with a top opponent to raise his game. His next opponent needs to be someone decent for him to progress.
Not going to happen in Limerick though, does jacobs have big power ? 15 of his 18 wins were stoppages.
