Irish Boxing

Got the Saviours DVD last night

Really enjoyed it

 

Anyone watch that RTE programme, Art Lives: The Bloody Canvas last night? It's basically an art programme but last nights episode focused in on boxing and featured Barry McGuigan, Brendan Ingle and Kevin McBride. It's worth a watch if you have an hour to spare, particulary for those interested in art or photography.

Is it really June 4 for McCloskey! it still says on the EBU site May 7.....

 

Jaysus Eamonn gets wilder as he gets older!

Never believe that EBU site!

 

I've a bit up on site now. It isnt confirmed but it looks good for June 4. Should be a cracking undercard as well...

It's not completely wrong all the time or anything you just have to take things with a pinch of salt

 

Submitted by Steve Wellings on 13 April, 2010 - 20:17 Belfast cruiserweight Darren Corbett has been invited back for another crack at Prizefighter and the charismatic 37-year-old isn’t about to let defeat in the last tournament affect his confidence this time around. Training out of his familiar Sacred Heart club, Corbett was being put through the paces, on bags and pads, when we recently paid him a visit.
“Me and Herbie [Hide] are the biggest names in the next Prizefighter,” reckoned Corbett. “I only got the phone call a couple of weeks ago but I keep myself right fitness-wise, I don’t drink or smoke, so I’m always ready to go. I usually blow up to about 18 stone in between fights, like Ricky Hatton, but Coca-Cola’s my vice, I drink litres of the stuff each day.

“There will be no boxing this time; I’m getting straight in there. I have nothing to fear from any of the others because I’m a big puncher too."

Brother and co-trainer (with third sibling Eamonn) Ryan Corbett has been helping whip Darren into shape. “Mark Krence is a big lad, a former heavyweight, and there are a couple of guys in there who don’t tell me a lot by judging their records but they could be the ones you have to watch out for," Ryan said, running the rule over Darren's potential rivals.

“Darren likes fighting big lads but we’ll be ready for anybody. The preparation has been done and we will give Darren the best possible chance of winning. Remember though, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. When he gets in the ring it’s up to him to perform.
“Darren knows this is his last chance," admitted Ryan.

great piece steve... hope the last pic with the young lads was taken before he hit the pads.. nots a drop of sweat in sight!

 

Just had a look on the EBU site there and couldn't find that. Any chance of a link?

 

Now the ball is rolling on the shows here in Ireland, May, June, and Lindsey is at the start of July so i was told yesterday then Rogie September (hopefully) a few good months ahead boys!!!!

 

Good info man, but Lindsay was meant to be May, which is slightly disappointing. Do you know who is promoting Rogie in September.:hi:

 

Is Roggie teaming up with Peters for a Irish title fight. I remember Barrett won the title and he has to fight Roggie. That could make a decent undercard fight to a future Lee fight.
