Crolla v Stephen Ormond would of been a good fight to see on the Dublin card. Be interested to see who he fights. Get Jamie Kavanagh over for the fight but I think a Crolla fight for Kavanagh might be too early for him. Or how about Kevin Mitchell or a fight with Scott Cardle for Crolla a real pick em fight to Co Main event the bill on Sky Sports coverage. I wonder if Sky will show the grude fights live on the night. Be it Spike v Fitzey and Tims v Sweeney as they both will be the really tight fights on the night. Hopefully all 4 of these lads can put on a great show and who knows maybe all 4 will get on more live fight nights when hopefully Matchroom come back. I think we need Macklin to win this fight and then get him back for a final elminator fight in Dublin again early next year.

 

Jamie Kavanagh have anything lined up?

Seems his career is coming along pretty slowly

That would be a tough match up for Jamie

 

Quigley won KO1 last night, looked less scrappy than he did in his previous fight
3(3)-0
Onwards and upwards

Well his father was shot dead less than 2 months ago. Might be a bit of time before we see him in the ring again.

 

Thought that was his uncle?

Young lad, just turned 19, fights out of Bracken BC Balbriggan Dublin. Has won a few Leinster and Ireland underage titles, has had a bit of trouble with injuries. Quite the silky boxer. Have heard that he's bringing a few busloads of people up for the fight.

 

Apparently Andy Lee's cousin.

 

Sweeny looks in good shape.

 

Not only was the late lamented charmer Gerard "hatchet" Kavanagh Jaimes dad, he was a senior member/enforcer for the Kinahan drug cartel, a multi hundred million dollar operation.
Hatchet, when he wasn't collecting drug money, was involved in his sons career. Unless I'm very very wrong, I Seem to remember hatchet working Jaimes corner in at least one fight stateside. ( perhaps someone could confirm this in case I am mistaken but I don't think I am).

My point being the incredibly inconsistent way the yanks enforce access to their precious country.

Hatchet had a list of convictions as long as your arm, including nasty stuff like Heroin dealing, yet, unless I am mis remembering, he flew in and out of USA at will, even blatantly working in a public capacity as a cornerman for his son etc ...no problem for hatchet!

Yet a grafting pro, and hard working family man like English middleweight Martin Murray is banned for being a naughty teenager when he was young. Baffling!
