Apparnetly Prunty has improved alot over the last few months if they didnt think he would take clark they wouldnt be trying to get him over! Good news for fans of the Pruntanator! If Prunty wins in style it would set up a match with young Alan Donnellan! Alan wants a crack at the Legend! It seems like Prunty is the hottest property in irish boxing!
He already priced himself out of a fight in Limerick. So I am told he asked for 20,000 more than Peters was willing to cough up. I don't think it would be impossible to get him to Limerick, especially if it meant Barker avoiding Gevor, who he probably sees as the tougher fight (with less reward) at this moment.
if i was Barker or one of his advisors i would only take the Lee fight if it was in London, preferable Stamford Bridge. I think he can only win if he is given the decision by the judges.. Barker would probably relinquish the belt before fighting Gevor
Here is a message from Ryan Clark earlier This content is protected Re: Prunty i dont no mate but ill fight him ne day ill put his jaw in a sling this wont be just a fight for me ill train like a solider for this and ill destroy him infront of his family and freinds was a brill fight sat lovely lad to fight had a wikid weekend nice people and that! but wen it comes to gobshites like tht i may be only 20 but ill step him down a peg or two
what did you say to him to get that reaction? The guy has been nice as pie "friending" everyone he met this weekend and then comes out with that!? :blood p.s. still running from Maher eh? Maher is now 5-0 and fighting again in a week - pulling streets ahead of Blunty!
I said nothing to him that message was sent to Alan Donnellans manager Why doesnt Hatton bring Prunty over in a winner takes all fight? Apparently some one said Prunty was looking around for a Microphone to challange Ryan Clark
"take all" - your aint had a fight since to great snow of '27! tell him pull his finger out and make some progress - right now he is eating Maher's dust!
I read in 1 of the morning papers that Tyson Fury could be fighting in Dublin in June as Henessey is finding it hard to get him TV coverage and fights at the moment. So Henessey is trying to get him on another Peters bill. Might well be a decent addition to a undercard but to headline here I cant see him selling out the Stadium.
Manny Steward was saying at the post presser- Lee is the greatest Middleweight in the world. He said he had a few calls re possible world title shots too. Peters was saying Barker in Limerick in the 'fall' is possible. When Paddy sugested London Peter was quick to state Limerick and RTE. The fight of the night was easily waldron power.. two evenly matched irish fighters seems to be the forumala to sucess. lets hope we get more fights like that..
I heard a sweeney fan say that sweeney was pissed off and left early-cause he was told he wasnt going to get a shot at Waldron???
They were trying to get him to say 'lets get ready to rumble'. No joke only Magee told him not too.... Great to see katie and kenny possing for pics with the world and its mother..
Peters will want a Waldron-Power rematch and save the Sweeney steam for when Tims is ready. Not fair on the Storm but thats boxing and until the BUI sort out their rankings, have eliminators and proper rankings then there is no rhyme or reason to what goes on in domestic boxing.
------------- check out on the ropes radio. Stewart is in talks this week with "someone in realtion to a possible world title shot". I reckon its Syvlester or Sturm!
