Irish Boxing

If Dudey somehow pulled off the upset, it would be ****ing sensational. Think I would end up in Manchester for an entire week, getting hammered every night :good

 

post on my thread then and lets persuade them otherwise

 

i just checked out that thread on khan and mccloskey in the general forum... are these guys for real????

if i knew that little i would just keep my mouth shout and say **** all. unbelievable stuff.

 

lad i dont even go to the general anymore over the clowns there the brit forums gettin worse 2

 

If McCloskey gets his shot and the winner of the Duddy/Lee fight got a title shot next it would have to go down as one of, if not, the best year of Irish boxing ever. Macklin could get a fight too. I'm excited, very excited.

 

Do u think mccloskey would have a chance against khan honestly?

 

Yes, but we need a win to make it memorable,

European light welterweight champion Paul McCloskey (22-0, 12KOs) is feeling pretty good about his chances to defeat WBA junior welterweight title-holder Amir Khan (24-1, 17KOs). The two are in talks to possibly fight on April 16 at the MEN Arena in Manchester. During a recent appearance on BBC Radio, Khan said his frontrunner opponent, Lamont Peterson, had priced himself out by asking for a "huge number."
McCloskey, at number five, is actually ranked higher than Peterson in the WBA's top ten. He hopes a deal can be reached in the next 24 to 48 hours.
“I’m very hopeful now that the fight can be made. It’s a fight I have wanted for some time and I have earned the right to fight Khan the traditional way by winning the British and European titles and I’m unbeaten. I think the next 24 to 48 hours are going to be very exciting, we should hopefully know if the fight will happen. It would be a great fight for the public and I know that I can beat him,” McCloskey said to the Belfast Telegraph.

 

il only be happy if we get one or two champs
itll mean nothing if they all lose
not bein negative

 

Im getting the feeling that mcloskey wont get the fight. This on HBO in America right? If so I can see them shooting it down because he is not a name in America.

 

Miami(and Egan) were given a walkover so they get the win.
Joyce lost convincingly to Russell Larmour 50-45, 50-45, 49-46.

Hopefully JJ Nevin can do the business tonight and get his 3rd win in a row.
Having watched his first two bouts I think he has the makings of a much better pro fighter than I anticipated.
