Irish Boxing

It was a cr4cker

I've heard some stories of your sparing session with her!

 

And what did you hear paddy? Anytime I sparred her if I held back her da would tell me to get stuck in to her lol

 

have to say the Ulster Hall at Lindsey- Appleby was unreal- id say the Kings hall would be class full.

 

just heard they were interesting

haha I cant imagine a birds dad telling me to get stuck into his daughter

do you get that much? :hey

 

Was speaking with Lou DiBella last night

If Pavlik doesnt go for his rematch Martinez will be going back down to 154 thus freeing up two belts at middleweight :hey

 

:good good chance of something like duddy mackin in dublin for a title :good

 

Tell ya what mate, i was at that fight and the atmosphere was unbeleivable. Taylor himself complained about the heat in the place. It was bursting at the seams with fans. I was up the stairs roundabout where the entrance is below and i swear the collective 'ooohh' from the crowd when McGuigan hit him to the body with that sickening big right hand,was unreal. Almost felt it meself

 

:good Cheers Ardy

I've never even been to Belfast but I'll be heading up for this one.
Seeing as the King's hall is referred to as something of a mecca for Irish boxing, what have been the most memorable fights there down through the years?

 

I went to quite a few of McGuigans fights pre-world title win at the Kings Hall and the atmosphere, as Ardy says, was electric. I always remember the Kings Hall rocking to 'Here we go - here we go - here we goooo" and "Barry! Barry! Barry!"

When Hugh Russell entered the ring for his fights on the undercard he got brilliant receptions too.

This one is legendary - Rinty always sang 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling' at the end of his fights.

Me too. Wasnt the bar located in this area - I could swear it was - although I was too young to drink at the time - I aways remember my uncle and da getting a couple of pints up there whilst I settled for a packet of Tayto crisps...
Those were the days when you could have a drink and smoke whilst watching the boxing.....

 

What a body shot! He has a picture of it in his gym an taylor is up on his toes against the ropes and the right hand is sinking write in...great picture

 

You have never been to Belfast? Why not? It's the greatest city on earth

 

I wouldn't mind permission to get stuck into her myself :yep

Lets keep the politics out of the thread. Carlos will unite the world, that much is obvious. Apart from that its all ridonckulous.


I best be getting my tickets for June 11. How many of the brethren from here are heading?
