    Yep, I've watched the entire McCloskey-Wright fight 3 or 4 times now and scoring it in an unbiased way I gave it to McCloskey by 2 rounds. Mainly because he put the early rounds in the bag.

    Gavin vs Wright would be a good scrap.

    Martinezs March 12th date is ppv? I thought it was normal HBO. That isnt going to do any buys with Cotto-Mayorga the same night. Martinez still isnt that well known in the states

    Don't get many competitive undercards on the bills here, thats why we enjoy Irish title fights.

    I would say the undercard on the Dunne-Kiko bill was good. Some big names on it like Macklin, McCloskey and Lee's homecoming, although none of them were competitive fights either. Plus, Magee-Oakey for the Brit Title was a good fight

    Why did Eade take 12 and 1/5 years off the ring. He could have had a lot better career than he will have now.

    Ciaran Healy to rematch Paddy McDonagh on the Casey-Rigo undercard. This time for Healys new Irish Light Heavyweight title.

    JJ McDonagh will challenge for the Irish Super-Middleweight title which will be vacated by Anthony Fitzgerald if he retains it against Lee Murtagh in January. Fitzgerald will then fight Karama Nyilawila for the WBF middleweight title.

    I have to say I love Ciaran Healey now, he will fight anyone and he is ensuring great scraps!

    His fight with Waldron was class and his scrap with Fitzy was decent too!

    +1 :good

    These two lads over 10 rounds will be a good scrap. also, credit to McDonagh for taking Healy on so early on his career, and now doing it again

    Casey should spar, spar JJ Nevin, great practice for Rigo. What do you think Jackal?
