Irish Boxing

Our biggest weekend by a long chalk, over 6,000 Mofos kicked in our doors to have a gander at our rambling, our YouTube channel is in the Top Irish 100 and we have the best photographer out there giving us fabulous visuals at every event.

Rigo brings his interim title half way across the world, knocks out the local hero on enemy territory and a lovely lady in the front row flicks him the bird. You cant buy class like that!

My heart goes out to Willie Casey, he's a great bit of suff but I guess it was too good to be true hoping he could somehow win and the actually outcome was to be expected. Credit to Gary Hyde, he picked the right time and place and the right opponent to make his man look good and get him right back in the picture after the negetive reaction to the Cordobe fight. Some of the behaviour outside the ring will have done nothing to endear us to RTE or foreign promoters looking to stage big fights here. I did not like the booing before the start, not necessary and unsporting. Was surprised at the size of the Garda presents and the metal detector on the way in but saw or experianced no hassle inside so that was fair enough. Venue building was fine bar the lack of toilets but the Citywest is a desaster, spent an hour in the cold and rain afterwards trying to get myself out of there. Oh, and the Clondalkin rugby club was a grand spot to watch the rugby before hand, sound crowd made us feel very welcome.

 

I guess its all up to my favourite.. Paul McCloskey.

Brain Magee should be proud, well done and I predicted he would give a good account of himself if nothing else.

Tough luck Casey, youll be back

McCloskey, I have a good feeling about you kid...

 

The response unit lads were a bit unfriendly. I tried to get my photo taken with them, they told me to move on:verysad.

 

I got searched leaving the place? It is some venue inside- only ten minutes from my gaf- so getting there issues are not an issue for me!

 

Johnny, you must be a really dodgey looking character

 

id say the security guard was lookin fir a cheap feel off ya wearing that suit and waistcoat

 

Surprised at the Garda presence?

As great a lad as Willie appears to be,you do realise what his family are known for in Limerick dont you?

 

so that was Stapleton in the waistcoat? Dapper looking auld fella it must be said.
