Irish Boxing

Joe ward won that tournament in baku and got boxer of the tournament by beating a kazack , a russian and a georgian . good to see the move up in weight hasnt affected him . just how good can this kid be ? watch out kenny joe is coming for you

 

Really looking forward to the seniors next year

 

so am i there will be some talent on display .loads of world ,european and commonwealth medalists Fighting it out .theres goin to be some cracking match ups

 

Who do ye give the best chance of winning? Lee, Magee or Casey?

I see all three losing (pessimistic, I know) but perhaps the experienced brain of Magee can cause Bute a problem or two. Casey will be outboxed and Lee...well, lets hope it isn't as spectacular a stoppage as the Williams fight was.

 

Yep it will a up hill battle for the 3 of them:deal

how long is nevins contract with wsb? does anyone kno?

 

also what weight is jj joyce now?
how highly do you rate him overall?

 

i can see casey walking into a big bodyshot and getting stopped. magee will do good but still end up losing. i dont kno about lee. for some reason i can see his style matching up well with martinez. i think he has the best chance but he still loses for me.
hope im wrong

 

I think Lee is going to be seriously overmatched v Martinez. He hasn't fought anyone near the calibre of Sergio. I'd have felt better about it if his last fight had have gone ahead and he'd looked good in winning. Martinez last 3 opponents are Williams, Pavlik and Cintron so that shows you the level he's operating at. I can see Lee getting stopped mid rounds.

Magee is a wholehearted fighter who always gives it his upmost when he steps up to title level but I have to feel he's just a little bit short for the likes of Bute. I can see Magee putting up a good scrap, and probably getting up off the canvas, before getting stopped in the late rounds.

Casey is the weird one to be honest. Rigo **** himself when Cordoba caught him with one good dig in the last fight. So in theory if Willie could make a dent early he could put Rigo into his shell and see what develops. However, there is also a very strong chance that Rigo uses all his experience and completely outclasses Casey picking him off with some heavy shots using his superior speed and reflexes.

All in all I wouldn't be overly optimistic as to how our boys will fare but I'll keep my fingers crossed for the three of them. It's great for the boys to get the shots and I hope they all make the most of them. I'm probably most pleased for Magee because he's always been a good honest battler and has had a long and tough career so a crack at a title is just rewards for his efforts.

 

I agree but casey and Lee have nothing to lose if beaten they are back to where they are now lee just outside the top ten and Casey at Euro level.So the two of them may aswell just have go and see what happens and more importantly learn from the experience,Magee will probably retire after but what a fitting end to a great boxer and sportsman.
it three chances in a week lads we'll surely upset the odd with one.:good

 

3 year contract as far as i know is what had been offered to all fighters
