Just read today in Boxing News that the British board refused to recognise the WBF (Federation) title. They told Tony Dodson that they wouldnt stop him fighting for it in South Africa but that they wouldnt allow him to defend it in Britain. Speaks volumes. Well done the BBBoC.
Tolan see Townley as stepping stone to Irish title http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/tolan-views-townley-as-a-stepping-stone-to-titles/ Haughain meet witter at the cross roads-Breen says he would like to train Tyson http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/haughian-and-witter-in-crossroads-battle/
Not really no, the version of Witter from prizefighter would have enough to deal with Haughian anyway. Unless Witter has aged badly in the last couple of months I think we'll see a conclusive win for Witter, although I wouldn't be surprised if Haughian went the distance and nicked a few rounds.
49Kg: Koryun Soghomonyan (Armenia) beat Evan Metcalfe (Ireland) 15-14 Great effort by Metcalfe as the Armenian is the 2009 world junior champion.
Jesus, Metcalfe was very unlucky! I wonder if you give him another 2/3 years will he put it up to Barnes? :think
I had forgotten he was in Prizefighter. That particular Prizefighter was awfull and Colin Lynes was robbed.
75Kg: Stephen Broadhurst (Ireland) beat Grant Quigley (Scotland) 8-5 91Kg: Jack Morrissey (Ireland) beat Paulius Zujevaz (Lithuania) 15-10 Good wins, Quigley is no mug. Russia have only lost one fella so far, McDonaghs man.
Kiko Martinez says he will stop Carlos in eight: http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/kiko-martinez-frampton-is-dunne-for/
There guaranteed medals now arent they? Morrissey's fight the other day was deadly. The ****er is exciting to watch.
Just read aswell that the German Super-heavy Schultz was stopped in the first round by the russian. Anyone see it?
