Wish i could Nutter my sisters wedding is on that weekend so i'll be away, i was talking to one of the fellas who runs Neptune stadium though and they're expecting a fairly good crowd.hopefully its a better show than the last few up there though.
The book is now available from WHSmith, Amazon.co and Amazon.co.uk or if you are in Ireland just drop me a PM and I can arrange a copy.
Im halfway through it now and I can say it is a great read. I will have a review for it on Irish-boxing.com ASAP. Well done Matt!
I would luv to see Sutherland and Degale get it on in the pros. Sutherland will bust Degale up big style.:bbb
According to boxrec, there are only 4 fights on Saturdays bill in Paddy Hyland's show.Surely thats not right. Does anyone know the full card. I heard the promotion is near sold out, so well done Pa Hyland.
Considering almost everyone going to that bill is only going to see the Hyland's anyway I wouldn't be surprised. How much are tickets going for anyway ?
LONDON CALLING FOR HOPEFUL BELSHAW http://www.irishnews.com/articles/597/556/2008/9/2/596633_355970935690Londoncal.html
The Hyland show is a dinner show so four fights is a perfect number - as it isnt the only entertainment. As regards Peters Id expect things to kick off in late October. September was never a runner for RTE as it is the business end of the GAA Championship and with shows on a Saturday like 'up for the final' and the Premiership there isnt much space for boxing. The Autumn looks to be shaping up nicely. Id imagine the delay is in trying to get title shots for some of the boxers. If they can id say each marquee boxer (Dunne, Duddy, McCloskey, Lee) would be on standalone cards. If not Id say double headers against international opposition
lads what do ye think of McCoskey being labeled the most protected boxer in the world by ring magazine a few months back?
