The Quiet Man heads back to Connemara as Andrew Murray prepares for Gavin 'Rock' Rees http://boxing-ireland.com/20110512_murray_rees_training_52.html
Anybody got any idea if James Moore is planning to fight anytime soon?? Considering he took Pawel Wolak the distance in his last fight surely theres still some fight in him. Seems to be a bit of a forgotten man over here!
Paul McCloskey will be a studio guest on i Talksport on Setanta Ireland tomorrow night (Friday) at 10pm. Eoin McDevitt is the presenter, and he will be joined in studio by Brian Kerr and Ger Gilroy.
Thanks for that Cantona. BUt I need to get this off my chest, why do Setanta not mirror the boxing that is been shown on Premier Sports. For instance the Danny McIntosh/ Eduard Gutknecht European title fight and Sebastian Sylvester/ Daniel Geale IBF world title fight were both shown on Saturday on Premier Sports, but not on Setanta. Could you explain this? I signed up to Setanta solely for the boxing, and I feel as if I'm being short changed here.
Setanta and Premier are two different channels, two different companies, with two very different schedules. On occasions, we team up to get rights for UK and Ireland but not always. I posted the details of our upcoming boxing on here a while back, and the fights that you mentioned were not part of that list.
I was under the impression, Premier Sport was your sister company in Britain. If both companies are entirely separate, why aren't Premier sports trading in Ireland in direct competion to Setanta? I'm not trying to put you on the spot and I appreciate you taking the time to post on here, but I'm hoping in future that we get the big European fights also.
reland v Great Britain Round Robin Schwedt Oder Germany May 13th (7.30pm) 52Kg: Michael Conlon (Ireland) v Thomas Stubbs (GB) 56KK: Tyrone McCullagh (Ireland) v Sean McGolderick (GB) 60Kg: M McDonagh (Ireland) W/0 64Kg: Ray Moylette (Ireland) v Aytikin Yorici (GB) 69Kg: Willie McLaughlin (Ireland) v Freddie Evans (GB) 75Kg: Darren O'Neill (Ireland) v Callum Smith (GB) 81Kg: Ken Egan (Ireland) v Obed Mbwakongo (GB) 91Kg: Con Sheehan (Ireland) v Danny Price (GB) 91+Kg: Cathal McMonagle (Ireland) v Johann Witt (GB) Could we whitewash them...naw? Witt and Yorici are Germans.
I am sure you can appreciate that I can only comment about Setanta. I don't work for Premier and I am not involved in what they do. Their market is Britain while Setanta's is Ireland. I also hope that we get the big European fights!!

Coyle still not matched.Thats never good,Heard his old lad can be hard to deal with when it comes to Henrys fights.Hope he gets some bit of a test at least.
Lads, any idea of where to get tickets for Murray v Rees? Got 2 mates in Bristol who are interested in going and would obviously want to be in the Irish section- if there is one? Also, any idea of who Murray has been sparring?
Whereabouts in Craigavon is this place that Jeff is fighting Haughian. I'm looking at getting somewhere to stay up there but I don't want to be miles away from the place
Murray is down in Connemara with Pajo Hyland-id say they are sparring!! Id buy of Andy himself or from Peters!
I see on the Brit forum that Spike is on Warrens May 21st card. What date is the Long fight? also, just found this lad on boxrec, made his debut in Australia last night http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=565300&cat=boxer
They would have **** all else to do down there, so they might as well train like they've never trained before
