Anto Fitz sounds like a right loser. Maybe people would rate him higher if he spent less time threatening boxing fans and more time training. Normally I'd be completely against a fight like Lee/Fitz but the prospect of seeing Fitz getting annihilated sort of makes it an ok match-up in my books.
lads seriously how many of you have met Fitz-honestly he isnt that bad- i never seen him come across as cocky....he gets asked about Lee all the time- what is he meant to say??? no i dnt want to fight him??? or im afraid of him??? honest he seems a sound bloke-and even a little shy when being interviewed
I think people have a gripe because he has threatend mush online because of a difference of opinion which is a bit of a ****ish thing to do. Imagine manny pacquioa doing the same thing , its fairly embarrising tbh .
Whos this Danny O'Connor, does anybody rate him or is he just another Irish/American wannaby? I take any Irish/American seriously....
Nobody is claiming he's a rabid animal who spends 24 hours a day acting like a nutcase. E-mailing Mush to threaten to smash his head in because of a difference of opinion is a scummy thing to do. I'd love to hear you try and justify that. Nobody is saying he can't be cocky if he wants. We all think he hasn't a hope and is talking rubbish maybe. That's fine we're allowed think that. And we're allowed talk about it about without having to worry about someone who gets paid to punch people for a living sending threatening messages. Nobody is saying he can't speak up for himself when asked about a fight. That's just changing the subject. We're talking about sending private threats and telling reporters at press conferences that he wants to smash Tonys face in :nono I sincerely hope Lee smacks the ****ing face off him. I would have been up for Lee anyway regardless but Fitz classless and scummy behaviour now makes me want him to get a serious beatdown.
he was a very good am , think he won the us nationals and was on the usa boxing team . went to the olympics as an alternate when he lost in the final of the olympic trials , havent seen much of him as a pro but dosent seem to have much power
Apart from a few amateur fights and some pro footage on youtube I havent seen much of him either. I saw his fight with Sadam Ali in the golden gloves, he had solid amateur career definitely and was a olympic alternative for the US team. He seems to have some skill but not a lot of power as Moorser said.
Don't know if this has been posted already. Joe Brolly an ex Dungiven GAA teammate of Dudey's, writing in last week's Derry Journal. I think it is a good summation of what occured on the night. In the end this was a fight that neither Team Khan nor the WBA wanted or needed. Too little return for too big a risk with Bradley fight just around the corner. http://www.derryjournal.com/communi..._did_dudey_fall_foul_of_khanspiracy_1_2613767
the o'connor that fought sadam ali is bryan o'connor . dont think it was danny here is the fight [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6lgOBs0NKU[/ame]
here is danny as an am he beat olympic gold medalist felix diaz before the olympics [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLkuAswO7FI&feature=related[/ame]
on the subject of irish-american fighters here is kevin rooney ,tysons old trainers son who made his debut the other night on ESPN [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL6R52oUEXw&feature=player_embedded[/ame]
thats me proven wrong, I assumed it was Danny O connor because it was around the weight O Connor would have been fighting at as an amateur.
he was getting stick before mush revealed that- and i am just saying- anytime i have met him as others have he is alright! im not defending what he said to mush- and im not saying anyone can't voice an opinion- just ask one (OF MANY) reporters who asked him about Lee i think i should point out- we asked the question he gave a response...its not as if he is going around screaming his head of about tearing lee's head off.. again im not defending private threats at all-but he was getting lots of stick even before that..
Fitz is a ***** and I'm not going to be emotionally blackmailed to get behind him because he's Irish and we haven't got a hell of a lot of fighters to get behind. I'll support any Irish fighter who isn't an utter ****, unfortunately Fitz doesn't fit the bill.
Have you followed the career of Irish-Canadian Logan Mcguinness Moorser? Ive seen some of his fights on youtube since he made his pro debut in ireland a few years back. He's a good prospect with a good record. Ive liked what ive seen from him until now, apart from that draw with Estrada.
