Fair play to the Sunday World for opening my eyes. I thought I knew a good bit about Rogans career but I didnt know he made his pro debut in prizefighter and I must have missed his trilogy with Matt Skelton too atsch
The next Prize Fighter seem to be the best one so far, They have now added Derry Matthews, so thats 6 decents in the mix already, Does anyone think Kevin O'Hara has a chance, I think O'Hara has the beating of Matthews, Lawton, Bell and Backland, Its just Choi i see causing Kevin O'Hara trouble,
Actually we're pretty close...look at middleweight. We have the European champion, Commonwealth champion, World Junior champ, European Youth champion Damn impressive!
How can Lindsay-Simpson be at the Kings Hall on 15th Dec..? Thats a Wednesday. Is it Sat 18th Dec then? :huh These fights are too close to Xmas for my liking. I knew 27th Nov wouldnt happen :fire
Sky and Maloney put Darren Sutherlands debut on a midweek card in the run up to xmas a couple years ago didnt they? Could be the same thing.
Cheap- aye, but still a week before Xmas. Maloneys shows are usually quite cheap to be fair (Booth recently) compared to tickets for Burns fight which Warren ran. So is it Saturday 18th Dec then or will it be put back (again, again) Heard there are very few Saturdays left on Sky's schedule so will Friday nights be used as well?
Been busy all weekend and just saw that Jamie Arthur beat Hughes for Commonwealth SBW title last night. A certain Mr Frampton must be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Arthur for the title in a few months time. Lindsay gave Arthur a boxing lesson
Specially for the Am buffs. I'm sure I've left someone out and would love to hear argu ments on these ratings. Some lads are moving weight and I hated leaving out Fyrers, Cummings, Blaney, Mullany, Dalton -all great fighters. Some may have gone pro or retired unbeknownst to me.

I saw the NI Team boxers yesterday at about 3.45pm, Bridge Street, Belfast - on an open top bus - they were getting a good reception from the locals.
