Brilliant job by the lads and Billy and his team, Joe Heneghan etc. To get off the fence Nevin to win, Quigley too. Paddy if the nose hols up and Conlon I make second favourite but onlt 49/51. For sure they can all do it-wouldn't be wonderful, one of our-Irelands-greatest sporting triumps, not that the mainstream media will notice. Also forget the second string Ukraine and Russia BS, Nevin beat the Russian and Euro u-22 champ, Jason the World number 1, Paddy the current Euro champ and Conlon also beat the Russian champion. To-morrow JJN meets the Ukrainian champ (hammered by Nikiten in the u-22's), Paddy fights the clear Russian number 1, while Conlon and Quigley have world and Olympic medalists to contend with.

Delighted for JJN, HE WAS ROBBED A FEW YEARS AGO! BTW he has beaten both Selby and Pavlo Ishcenko in pervious encounters. Imagine him and Lomachenco at 60 would be something. Nevin wont last at 56 much longer.
