rebel... i dont think hes over protected at all...his fight against wright was tough...but i think peters is finding it difficult to get paul a meaningful title fight...wat do u think urself bro:good
i'd like to see him fighting Branco or lynes but doubt either of them will happen.Wright was a tough fight but i'd still like to see him move up in class.
Here is an article by an old Irish boxing.com contributor on the Hyland promotion. http://britishboxing.wordpress.com/...-entice-top-british-opposition-into-the-ring/
the hyland brothers...r improving and looking good...but where r they going...how far can they go...its all rite fighting on ur das wee shows...but they have 2 hook with a bigger promoter 2 bring in the bigger names and titles...does any1 have a opinion on this:good
A lucrative deal has been offered to Kenny Egan by his second cousin, promoter Tommy Egan. http://britishboxing.wordpress.com/...list-egan-offered-lucrative-deal-to-turn-pro/
Paulie is European title level but I reckon no higher, Eddie and Patrick are a step below that at European Union title level. Unfortunately Paulie's opponent, who was better than his record looked as he had only lost in very good company(Nathan Sting, Hussein Hussein and 3 times to Vic Darchinyan) got a better offer to fight in Thailand tonight so he's off the card and out and out journeyman Christian Nicolae steps in. It'll be a very easy win for Paulie and he won't learn much but a poor fight is better than no fight. Anyone know anything about Robert Long who debuts on the bill ?
A fascinating article nutter. Kenny has a important decision to make.But I think he should take the deal and turn pro, assuming it's as lucrative as Tommy is indicating.In life sometimes you gotta grab the bull by the horns,grasp an opportunity, so to speak. I'm sure he won't make as much by staying amateur. But good luck to him whatever he chooses to do. Anybody any news on Sutherland?
I have to agree with you there Fra, the Hylands need a bigger promoter and a tv deal to take them to the next level. I suppose we dont know how far they can go yet until we see them in more meaningful fights.:deal
what did you guys think of munroe last night? Do you guys think dunne will get a shot maybe after his next opponent?
