Irish Boxing

Regarding a song for Manchester (and seeing as most of them are ripping off the Green Brigade) I think "Champions 67" could be altered appropriately.

"In the heat of Lis-bon,
The fans came in their thou-sands,
To see the Bhoys be-come
Champ-i-ons
Six-ty sev-en"

This could be changed to-

In Eng-land,
The fans came in their thou-sands,
To see Dudey be-come,
World Champ-i-on,
In twenty eleven,

 

willie be on tv3 tomoro morning is a positive sign for the fight being aired

Sweeney Confirms He Will Fight on MArch 19 and Threatens to Shut Tims Up

Funnily enough the shocks you suggest are the same i was thinking, i.e. ward and mcdonagh! but i'd fancy chris phelan for the 52kg category....and maybe brabazon/nolan in the welterweights

 

Was doing a bit with Brabazon for a local paper this week. His story is great, five years away, just back in 'proper' training since Jan and he is one fight away from the finals. He seems confident and is defo up for it.

 

I've had a lot going on so I haven't had my mind on boxing for the last couple of months so I'm miles behind on the news. Jaysus lads whats going on with the amateurs this year. Funny looking draw when I downloaded it off the iaba site!

I only heard Hyland is fighting Collado/Acosta the other day too. Fair play to him for stepping up to the plate but it's a dangerous thing to do. He'll be in a bit of a pickle if he loses two on the bounce.

Any word on a Carlos opponent yet?

 

These fights are on Premier Sports. What happened to Setanta ireland, all they are showing is the WSB.

19th Feb: John O'Donnell v Craig Watson, Ashley Theophane v Lenny Daws
20th Feb: Junior Witter v Victor Lupo
5th March Zab Judah v Kaizer Mabuza
19th March Lucian Bute v Brian Magee
26th March Dimitry Pirog v Javier Maciel

 

Says on Gary Hyde fb day Acosta v Hyland defo off

 

setanta are showing o'donnell - watson :yep

 

Who pulled out?
Is Paulie still on the card?

 

Setanta Ireland have the Witter fight this weekend. Better than nothing.

 

also have o'donnell
think ill sign up this weekend
hyland claiming he not offered enough money
seems to be recurring theme with the fighters on this bill
healy, hyland, tims maybe
hope they get this ''best card ireland has ever seen '' thing sorted because its all gone very quiet lately and they might end up embarrasing themselves with their bold claims

 

Is it? It is Witter after all!

Do they have the O'Donnell fight though, seems to be a lot of confusion over that. I though they would have coz isnt premier sports supposed to be a re badged version of setanta for the uk?

 

yes paulie and alexia is dead in the water now ,pity but anto fitz v affif belthecham for eba title is signed and sanctioned ,timms /sweeney still on , garcia / paddy mc /alexia /levan / chrissie/ heffron back on 2/. starting to build up now!

 

did Anto ask for that? I do recall suggesting it to him as a great fight, seeing as he called out Lee
