+1 Would love to see it - but last I heard Leonard was checking with Dolphil if he can upload the video?
Yeah, he was dangerous - 5 years ago - at featherweight! Its a joke! Hopefully his record fools those at home watching RTÉ - thats all it will fool, except those that think its "a big step up" - fúck me!
Alexei Ascosta faces former Dunne foe Faccio http://boxing-ireland.com/20100819_ascosta_faccio_set_1.html
Now thats a step up! although he did get stopped by a 6-3-1 fighter in the 11th the fight before last but that was at bantamweight by all accounts he was being knocked around like a rag doll in the later rounds! still a step up though... Maybe Big Ears can give his view on it
That video was up on youtube and then taken off. Was a heavy KO. Why the ref bothered to start counting is beyond me, McDonagh was clearly out of it
Peters must be confident if hes out again 3wks later in Letterkenny. Any word on opponents for the other two cubans? Think Peters is adding a 10th fight to the Letterkenny bill- Prunty perhaps, after his fight on the 11th?
if its Gavin Prunty v Chris O'Brien or Kieran Maher than I'll come over for it - if not I think I will head to the south of France to watch Sweeney battle it out for the EU title! My hats off to Sweeney - its been a while since an Irish fighters ambition and determination has impressed me so much. Hope he gets the coverage he deserves.
that reff hadnt a clue wot to do he just stood there looking at jj he should of put the lad into the recovery position and got his gum sheild out .
I like that fight for Acosta. For a little bit there i didnt think they were going to build on the Machado win.
Gotta hand it to Sweeney alright. Also Pajo deserves some exposure for heading out to Romania in Dec, knowing he will need a very clear, dominant win if he is to get a decision out there. Especially since his opponent has an unbeaten record so is even more likely to get a hometown decision
he did get couple fights his girlfriend couldn't settle there so he came home, hopefully he keeps head down and fulfills his potential he is better than both byrne and murray in my opinion :thumbsup
