    Mick Hennessey has booked the theatre in MSG for St Patricks Day and looking at Adamek as an opponent.

    BOOM!

    Zero I'd say.

    But I think Perez will become a mainstay of Frampton/McCloskey undercards in Belfast if he stops Page tonight.

    Lads, looking some advice on decent boxing books. Already have- Dunne's, Collins', Cinderella Man and McGuigan's is also on the way.

    Is "Big Joe Egan:The Toughest White Man on the Planet" any good?

    haven't read Joe Egan's but 'Four kings' is probably the best sports book i've ever read. The 'Dark Trade' is good aswell.

    Joe Egans book is self glorifying drivel imo but each to their own.

    Babyface goes to Hollywood, the jimmy mcclarnin story is a good read.

    The fighting Irish is good, follows Irish boxing back to the bareknuckle days. Can't remember the author.

    If you want to move away from the Irish scene, four kings by George kimball is probably my favourite boxing book.

    Mi vida loca, johnny tapias book is class. That should have been a film instead of micky ward.

    Hands of stone, roberto Duran is good.

    I read a cracking book bout sonny liston but can't remember the name. Could have been the night train or something like that.

    Worst books I've read are probably Egans and Holyfields,
