I really enjoyed watching that :good Any other clips available from those 4 nations do ya know?

 

The four nations was a class tournament great boxing but with a lot of local pride aswell,Would be great to see it back if only at Elite level.

 

All quiet on the boxing front today?

McCloskey plans to use skill to beat Prescott
http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/mccloskey-to-employ-flair-over-fight-on-sept-10/

 

I think it all went wrong when he stopped thinking he was the plucky underdog/against the odds fighter giving it one late shot at glory and managed to convince himself that he's actually a lot better than he really is.

Such a shame. He had a good thing going :-(

 

Rogie Fury-ous and blasts Team Hennessey

warning - spicy lyrics inside!

http://www.boxing-ireland.com/20110823_tyson_fury_martin_rogan_17.html

 

i hope Rogie doesnt live to regret this i mean 50k for him is big money in my book and i think he is being a bit arrogant here refusing to talk to some of the people that Hennesey sent over in his place,Still its up to Rogie and i hope he gets what he is hoping for.
