Irish Boxing

do you not find him exciting shamrock,he may not have the power of naseem but he certainly fights in the same manner and picks his punches superbly.one thing i was impressed about last night was his stamina.

 

his stamina was awesome, which is indicative of not getting hit as well. that Bazan never really got out of 2nd gear was a dissapointment as we really didn't get a fight out of it. the more I think of it, I am starting to warm to the style. Hitting without being hit is paramount in this game, but Bazan didn't seem to really want to fight. Still, the scenario is interesting, and I wiill be extremely interested in McCloskey from now on. He has my full attention!

 

good good,because he damn sure deserves the attention of every boxing fan,he's come through near every contest with ease and confidence.

 

Let's hope he gets a crack at the European title soon. UP THE IRISH:good

 

damn right ardy,and i see absolutly no reason for it not to be had in ireland.

o aye,if letterkenny can get a boxing show,if mayo can get a boxing show,why the **** can't derry,come on brian peters sort it out.

 

When I was in Belfast St Agnes'

 

I don't know Paul personally, when I was at the amateurs where he was on the bill, that was what his fans called him.

 

McCloskey's nickname is Dudey.

 

Does anyone know of Peters plans for McCloskey or Macklin.When do they fight again?

 

I boxed against St Agnes, my memory of it was, that the place had no heating [it was like a shack inside], it was freezing. There was a couple of "name fighters" there at the time. One was "Squeak" Donnelly and the other guy was called Curry.If you don't live in Belfast now,where do you live?[if you don't mind me asking].:good

 

ah, couldn't understand that dungiven accent!

 

I live in Beeston now in the East Midlands. Agies was done up around 2000 so it's a really well equiped club inside, was Sean Cavanagh there at the time? You gotta love those freezing dumps that are irish boxing clubs, beats Fitness First any day!:nut

 

I,m pretty sure Sean was there then, although when your boxing, your more concerned about who you might be fighting rather than who is training them.But I know Cavanagh is very much involved with the Antrim Board, and he does great work for all of Antrim boxing.:hi:

 

there is info...on irish boxing .com...that mccloskey is taking arest...then peters hopes to put him and macklin.. on as a double header in belfast

 

Now that sounds like a good enough reason to head up there on the session.
