    I presume you are talking about Byrne? All a bit hypothetical right now but Byrne would need to start fighting over here a lot more regularly to get rated in europe and I think the lightest he has ever been was still 4 pounds over lightweight so he might be better going for McCloskey at light welter if hes looking for a European title shot.

    I'd say Byrne would need to string a few fights against Euro opposition together before he'd be in the reckoning. I'm all for giving a fighter a break but many other people would be due their shot before him as things stand

    Wouldnt be Byrne at 135. Think Byrne was calling Murray out a while back for the Irish Title at 140.
    Be interesting to see how Ormond develops in the next 12 months at 135 though

    Byrne wont fight at 135 he was looking to fight Murray at 140

    and anyways Byrne would need to have another 4 fights in europe before being eligable for a euro title:deal

    Deans best off staying over in the US. In the future you would hope to see him box at home on the odd card once a year thing to build up more of a fanbase here. You never know maybe Peters might see about getting him on RTE. Can you imagine a card over here with all the American based Irish fighting on it. Lee v Duddy could be the headline fight. Along with Byrne and Kavanagh on the undercard that could fill out the o2 with ease.

    all this **** is happening since iaba became a LTD company headed by your man lynch who f--ked up fas, members of dublin co board brought the IABA to court to stop this but lost, now the IABA have sent the sheriff after the dublin members and put a court order on the house of 2 members who are involved in boxing over 40yrs they seem to be trying to push our hard core people out of the game jim moore resigning billy walsh not getting top job messing about with katies team i,m sure the list goes on :twisted::fire

    could be a good fight but i dont see any other result other than a moore win and a knockout win at that
