Irish Boxing

Does that Pat McAleese qualify for an Irish title? I see reports of him fighting in Boxing news quite a bit and he has the tricolor on his trunks.

 

I think Paulie Hyland only has two defeats

 

What a fight that would be, i think Henry would have a bit too much for Spike though:good

 

Great question. It seems that the consensus opinion here is that Rogie's shot and Helenius is a beast, but I've watched a number of his fights, and the gameplan for Rogan seems pretty obvious to me. Helenius likes to fight at his own pace behind a rangefinding jab, that I don't think is as good as Sexton's, tbh, to set up the right hand, occasionally following that up with a sneaky left hook, which he knocked out Peter with.

If Rogie's in shape and can force Helenius against the ropes and rough him up, as he did with Skelton, Helenius will be very uncomfortable. But Rogie's gotta be fit. If he stay's at the end of Helenius's punches, it'll be a short night.

 

Helenius has a better jab than Sextons mate, and Helenius is on a higher level than Sexton is anyways.

 

You're clearly right about Helenius being on another level than Sexton, but after watching his fights on You Tube with Brewster, Peter, and some tomato cans, he doesn't look invincible to me. Pitty pat straight jab or that annoying jab/hook that the Kilts do to set up the right cross or uppercut, followed by a left hook occasionally. Don't get me wrong, he has very fast hands and loads of power. Watch the Brewster fight, and you'll see that he doesn't like it on the inside and immediately holds and leans on him. He's a big *******, but he could be worn down by someone with the will and fitness.

 

Rogie was saying its win win- he isnt expected to beat this lad-but thinks he can- so shame in loosing in Germany.

Bernardo Checa was saying Roggie was with him up and untill three weeks ago

 

peters package for Macklin is the 90odd euro tickets and 2 nights b and b alongside the arena for 120euro double room. Hoping thats 60 per head. Does anyone have flights booked yet? How much were they? Last time I flew to Dusseldorf on the Thursday, back on the sunday for about 170 if i remember right

 

is peters doing flights too

 

Cruiserweight

Anyone know how Bobby Gunn actually qualifies for an Irish title?

Light Middle

Tony Doherty above James Moore - I dont think so!

Welterweight

Gavin Prunty above Ronnie Heffron - does anyone at the BUI even watch any boxing?

No Maher or O'Brien!? :twisted:

 

think gunn defo has irish in him
****er sounds like he from the midlands

 

Why was Lee fighting for a title held by Fernando Guerrero, that hasn't been vacated and that Guerrero is scheduled to defend?

 

Thomas Hardwick wins his heavyweight debut in New York by TKO in round 3 of 4

Tony Doherty above James Moore - I dont think so!
