Irish Boxing

his next fight is with shaw (thats a definate) they are still working on the deal to get it just right

 

Olusegun will beat Chebah in the title eliminator and McCloskey will end up having a rematch with Lauri probably in Spring. Hes got to get out of that rematch, doesn't have time to waste :verysad

 

I think they are trying to work a deal to show his fights on setanta into the contract thats why its taking a little longer than it normally would

 

It's getting hard to keep up with all the lads we have knocking about now are doing these days. Good news about Byrne though

 

Watch Jack Dempsey, Mick Ward, Gerry Cooney, James J Braddock, and Gene Tunney for Irish styles. A lot of great boxers were Irish

The only good Scottish boxer I know was Ken Buchanan who fought Roberto Duran.

Well none of the guys you listed were actually from Ireland!

As for Scotland, I think you will find it has a very rich tradition. You must have forgot Benny Lynch, Pat Clinton, Jim Watt, Scott Harrison - not to mention current WBO champion Ricky Burns.

 

Actually what ever happend to the 2 movies that were going to be made about Lynch a few years back. I remember reading about the family trying to block them both but they never gave a reason why. I think they were successful in the end. Although, I think the one with Robert Carlyle was actually made

 

poor chap had a lot of family misfortunes!two of his brothers commited suicide within a short period, he never was the same after that and gave up a short time later! class act though in his time

 

thanks for that, mate thats sad to hear, i also seen he beat jamie kavanagh back in 2005 , the boy could have been speical by the sounds of it , he is only around 20 now so he could make a comeback at some stage hopefully .

was he a traveller ??

I presume this fella has a job because his training and diet aren't exactly condusive to becoming a good boxer! I'd say Carlos might have an idea who he is being from up that neck of the woods.

 

yeah he dosent look in the best of shape tbh

carlos do you know if the sandy row boxing club is still going ??

 

Lookin for the LEGAL stream for j kav fight tomorrow night any help?
