Irish amateurs shine in Europe

Katie Taylor picked up the Boxer of the Tournament award at the men's and women's Prime Ministry Tournament in Turkey despite having to withdraw from Sunday's final with Claire Ghabrial of Australia through injury.

Taylor was hot favourite to win gold but was withdrawn from Sunday's lightweight final after picking up an arm injury in Saturday's semi-final victory over Turkey's Irkan Melek.

Taylor advanced to the final after Melek was retired by her own corner near the end of the second round of Saturday's last-four clash in Ankara. The Irishwoman was leading 6-0.

However, the Bray woman picked up an injury to her right bicep and coaches Billy Walsh and Peter Taylor withdrew the world and European champion from Sunday's final.

Despite having to pull out of the final, Taylor still picked up the best boxer award after scoring 35 points and conceding just two in her four bouts.
Ireland won one silver and two bronze medals in Turkey courtesy of Taylor, Gary Molloy and World Youth champ Ray Moylette.

Meanwhile, David Oliver Joyce won gold and scooped the Boxer of the Tournament prize at the Gee Bee Multi-Nations in Finland.

Joyce, the current European Union featherweight champ, beat Hurshib Pojibaev on a count-back.
There was finals disappointment for Declan Geraghty, Ryan Lindberg and Eamon O'Kane, who was trading leather with two-times world champion Abbos Atoev in the middleweight division.

O'Kane, a bronze medal winner at the 2008 European Championships, was leading going into the last round but the fight was stopped after the Belfast man was caught with a body shot.

Geraghty, who picked up a hand injury in the second, was edged out 10-9 by Beijing Olympian Vincenzo Picardi of Italy, while Lindberg retired because of a cut near his left eye in the third round of his bout with Russian world champion Sergei Vodopianos.

The six-man Irish squad, which also included Willie McLaughlin and Tommy McCarthy, won one gold, three silver and one bronze in Helsinki and Irish team manager Paddy Barnes senior was delighted with the haul.

'The lads were in against world champions and Olympians and the quality was very high,' Barnes admitted.
'When you consider the quality opposition the lads were boxing against we are delighted with the five medals.'

It sounded a little ***** to me but these were the words from the matchroom boyos. The said if barker got through that last fight then it was gona be him and proska on the 7th in one of the three venues I mentioned... Proska is no mug so things may have changed after barkers performance the other night

The Jackal never lies!!!

 

They probably expected Barker to walk through Belgecham without breaking a sweat and thought he would be fine to fight on May 7 but I would say that's all out the window now.

 

Dean Byrne was interviewed on Max after his fight last night was cancelled. It's by the same writer who did that bio piece on Kavanagh.
