Irish Boxing

Shame about Casey pulling out. Surely Carlos is the man with the info on this one? Will Bazza add another bout to the card now then- even stick on Kevin O'Hara. Hes gone quiet since the Sykes fight

 

a lot of people have forgotten that! TBH i feel his handlers let him down in that respect

He came in at 162 and hes a big lad weight might have had something to do with it

 

Nothing to do with mcguigan why Casey isn't on the bill pal

 

What about the other big fella- Paddy. When is he out again do you know?

 

get yer boss to replace it with Tolan-Townley instead. Tolan get back offa holiday this weekend and Townley said he wants the fight as well. It would sell more tickets in Belfast than Casey would anyway.

The winner can earn the nickname 'TNT'

:deal

 

Too right. What was the 'official' reason for Casey not fighting on your card?

I am not surprised at these type of things happening, it is not going to be smooth sailing for new promoters to enter the Irish market but, despite these things it will be a sell out and a great night at the Ulster Hall:good

 

it will be more difficult to pull similar stunts when Frank Warren moves into the Irish market! :good

 

what stunts slapper ...is casey injured or just not bothered t fight on the card which would be very strange as its on setanta

 

:happy:happy:happy

 

With Kessler out of the Super 6 what are the chances of Brian Magee stepping in for him in the fight against Allan Green? I know Magee is ranked number 1 in 1 of the boxing world bodies. If I was promoting Magee I would try the best to get this fight with Green out of the Super 6 fighters he is maybe 1 of the weakest links and is a winable fight for Magee. Never mind the Peters show pull out of it and fight Green. It would be too good to refuse if he was offered the fight.

 

id say theyll go straight to the semis the way it stands now its ward v dirrell which is first v last and froch v abraham which is 2nd v 3rd so if there not open to a lawsuit with green whos****in muck anyway then id be surprised if they didnt go with that

 

--------------------------------
I'm with you on that but the problem is that even if Magee won I don't think he would be eligible to go through to the next round.

What I think might be a good comprimise is have Green V Magee as a main undercard to either of the other fights - preferably Froch V Abraham.

 

I know that it will more than likely go the way Moorser said but Magee IF he was to take on Green and win the fight it would open up more doors for him and he would be in the mix to fight some of the fighters that boxed in the Super 6 when it is all finished. I think he made a big mistake doing the Peters bill. He should of tried to get on the Froch V King Arthur undercard fair enough if he couldnt get on then go with Peters fight.

 

Think L/Fly is gone from the Olympics so Burnett would have to skip a weight to avoid Paddy and there you have JJ Nevin!
Embarrassed with riches.

 

Light fly has just been changed from 48kilos to 49 which will suit both lads for a while but you might see Burnett growing and moving to 52kgs. I suppose its a problem, but a good problem for Irish boxing all the same. Nevin will now box at the new 56 kgs which will help him a lot aswell cause I no he busted his balls to make 54kgs
