Irish Boxing

I assume wee Jamie Conlan was the swing bout and is fighting now after the main event.

 

Had Prince ****in Arron to win on pts at 11/2. 3 ****in kos from 20 fights and he manages to do that. great fight though. Does anyone know Spikes longterm plans re: weight? is he sticking at middle or gonna get back to 154? think he qualifies for Brit/Commonwealth titles dont he

 

Jamie won 3rd round ko.
Wonder if boxing news will even report the international

 

The heading will be ''Danny pryce shines in international tournament'' :good

 

lads Spike vs Long is down off boxrec and its just Spikes fight on the Degale/Groves card mentioned now

 

Barnes, Nevin and Ward are probably our three best medal hopes for the Euros, so add in Conlon(he's going really well) whoever at light DO, Donovan or McDonagh, Hickey, McLoughlin, and O'Neill and we look really good. Sheehans form has dipped but at his beat he can medal too.
Great performances by McCullough also, trashing McGolderick and pushing Makarov so close.

 

McMonagle hasnt won an international fight in I dont no how many years . He is brutal whereas Turner won a multi nations last year and beat Britains no2 Amin Isa last year aswel as losing to Chinas olympic silver medalist on a double countback the same chap who beat McMonagle a few days later by 20 points . I think its stupid if you have one bad night at the seniors or drop bad decision as Donovan had aginst McDonagh you are gone off the team Its very clear who the better and more experianced international boxers are and I think they should pick the right team regardless of who wins the seniors .

 

Good point on Turner but I didn't see the McDonagh-Donovan(a classy boxer) contest so I can't comment on that decision but I thought McDonagh was magnificent against DO giving him a head start and then out-punching him down the straight and IMO would have won regardless of the desperate punch that resulted in the low blow. These three have pretty compelling claims to the spot, as I have said I favour Joyce myself.

 

wont it be sorted out in the box offs in july?

 

The Euro's are in June though.

 

McDonagh done well to win no doubt , he is a young lad and beat 3 top lads in the seniors but he was very lucky against Donovan as he threw **** all punches in the fight and just stood there with his arms up . Not taking anything away from the lad but I think he should concentrate on the European youths and get more experience for the future as he has serious potential .

whos selling tickets 4 craigavon:good

 

Jeff will be selling them next week. I'm sure the other lads will be selling them on facebook too.

I always try to buy directly off lads on smaller cards or if I'm going to see an undercard fighter. Every ticket they sell helps their cause with promoters!
