    Another defeat for the Lionhearts last night in what has been a pretty poor campaign.

    Yes, it was a hard group but to win just 3 matches out of 12 is a shocking return.

    Does anyone know why the squad is so poor this season? A number of boxers on the Podium Squad were left out, was there some sort of dispute?

    They had quite a few ijuries this series and overall you just get the sense that some of the fighters didn't want to compete

    Yeah I knew about Josh Taylor being injured, was surprised not to see Selby though, don't know if he was in the same boat.

    nah Thomas whittaker-hart, and scott forrest are better

    yet true about the second sentence, a joined up british and irish team would be really strong.. Conlan, Barnes, Ward, Donelly Fowler, Selby, Taylor, Joyce, Evans, Fitzgerald, Bateson

    really hope paddy barnes turns pro after rio,, he's good enough to be fast tracked Lomachenko style
