    One of the reasons I favour O'Meara over Concepcion is because Kevin had a tough 10rder a few weeks back. I think he could come this tournament flat, but it depends high quickly his body recovers.

    It is a possibility - but i dont rate omeara. The bout that i am not sure about is hillyard and arron -
    It depends how well prepared hillyard is and if is is on form on the night. Arron is tall and has a big reach - think he a southpaw as well so he could be awkward - but duddy ko'd him in 2.

    As I understand it, Macklin has a promotional contract with Hatton but Peters is still Macklin's manager. I also understand Peters is still Paul McCloskey's manager but due to british title route they had to role in with Sky Sports so no promotional contract yet. And I think Lee is still promoted by Peters just not managed. Are you all hoping Peters will promote or manage more fighters or both?

    I think Peters is a very shrewd businessman and is good at both managing and promoting fighters. I think he has a good relationship with the smaller promoters (well at least a working relationship) as well as Mick Hennessy. I am not sure if Macklin leaving Hennessy for Hatton promotions was anything to do with Peters and whether that has damaged any future work with Hennessy though! I think Peters could be both Manager and promoter of a fighter simultaneously like with Dunne but how much experience he has with a Stable of fighters to work with simultaneously I'm not sure!

    Is Martin Lindsey still being promoted by Hayemaker? I wonder if Brian Peters would look at Lindsey as his next project to work with with Dunne calling it a day. Would make sense as Lindsey is already ranked high in the European rankings could this be a option? I know Lee will be a dead cert to take over from Dunne in headling most of the RTE cards but a fresh faced Lindsey would be great to see as well.

    Just typed up my interview from the Midland Hotel show on Thursday and a maringally inebriated Richard Hatton of Hatton Promotions provided me with the following - "I'd have no problem with Kieran going in with this Prunty fella, it will give him a lickle bit more of expereince."

    :good
