Irish Boxing

I'd love to see her turn pro and be the spearhead of a revival of Irish boxing in the Republic. With the way things are financially it's almost impossible to attract the Irish public/RTÉ/TV3 to support any professional boxing, but Katie is someone who would really grab their attention and interest.
Through her the scene could be redeveloped again and I believe she could have tremendous success as a professional herself. It would also continue to push the development of women's boxing within the country.

The only thing is, if she were keen on turning over, there'd be much more lucrative deals to turn pro over in the US, and probably even in the UK (Eddie Hearn). Mr Peters may go looking for his check book

:good

 

I really wouldn't like to see her go pro. She's just not built for it. The likes of Underwood would destroy her

 

All over Twitter the last couple of days that Casey will rematch Tyson Cave. Good fight for Willie. He's not on the same level as Frampton, Kiko, Quigg etc

Conlan fought his heart out, but should lose to Oubaali...

 

Gifted.

No disrespect, both were warriors - Oubaali just put more into it, especially in the third. (which it was all tied up heading into)

 

Jaysus that was fúckin tough. What a war:bbb:bbb:bbb
Fair play Conlon!!!!!!!!!!

 

We were luckly there no doubt. I couldn't believe the first round was level. I was sure Conlon was behind in that round.

 

I thought conlon won that.
Not by 4 though.

Nicked it in the last round for me.

 

What a ****in fight. I was nervous as **** throughout that. Im an honest and though Conlon won the fight. Was extremely close but alot of the French lads shots were taken on gloves and also felt Conlon landed the cleaner shots. Fair play to Conlon. C'mon Ireland!!

 

You think IB? I thought he was doing well in the 3rd, the Frenchie was backing off him, and he's a come forward fighter.

 

Ed. Where the **** have you been mate

 

Cheers for the honesty there. :good

Again, don't want to take anything from Mike, he laid it all on the line. Just felt Oubaali was the better man on the night.

 

Towards the end, yeah. Under pro scoring I think there's a strong chance Conlan would have "stolen" the 3rd on a lot of cards.

In sum, felt Oubaali landed more flush. :conf
