    We still have some fighters

    Lee isnt done yet, just needs to train hard, get a gameplan for each fight and stick to it...

    Duddy will battle on

    Dunne may well be done though

    Macklin is European level but exciting all the same

    Cant wait for him v Jori Boy tonight

    :lol: You'll take anything.
    They're not Irish, one is from Birmingham (not in Ireland) and the other from Manchester (not in Ireland).
    But I think I did see Jamie Moore eating a potato once.
    :happy He qualifies as an Irish!!!! :happy

    Macklin claims to be Irish much like Michael Gomez

    I always like both Moore and Macklin and thei fight was brutal stuff to watch for me anyways

    No they're not, they're English. One is from Sheffield (in England) the other is from Bolton (in England).
    You practice and you'll get the hang of it. English is anywhere in England. Irish is anywhere in Ireland.

    So you're saying Macklin's mum is Irish. I'll give you that.
    I thought you were talking about Matthew Macklin himself. We're obviously talking about different family members.
    I was talking about the boxers, Matthew Macklin and Jamie Moore. They're English.

    Being born in England, living their whole lives in England. You know, the usual specifications of being a nationality.

    I know nothing about Alex Stewart, don't even know who he is.

    My knowledge of Lennox...
    he was born in England and lived there for a few years, moved to Canada, then lived mainly in America.
    So he's split over different places, in this case you'd have to respect what the man says... as far as I'm aware he says he's English.

    And I'm not an expert on Henry Akinwande
    Was born in Africa somewhere I think, don't know when he moved to England, don't know what he claims he is...

    But in those two cases you have some amount of split nationalities, with Macklin and Moore there is no if's or but's... They're English boys, born and bred.
