    Fight about to start....soon we we'll see if Avalos can back up all the smart Alec attitude...

    Credit to Avalos for not going down. Great performance from Carl.

    Best from Ireland? He could actually be close to securing a top 5 berth already. Certainly from NI he is already eclipsing the likes of McCullough & Magee.

    :yep Yeah, my phrasing (using present tense instead of "has eclipsed") there was carefully selected - eclipsing, as in during this current IBF reign underway I think he'll end up surpassing the Pocket Rocket. :good

    He's not ecplised Dave Boy McCauley, McCullough or McGuigan (born south of the border i know) Nor has he gone past McTigue, McLarnin or Collins. He will definitely go past a lot of those guys as you previously said though. I think he'll be very highly rated come his careers end.

    Is it THAT simple? Amazing if true. I'd have thought it would pick up your computers Internet address and you'd just get some message saying "not available in your part of the world"...must check it out...:thumbsup

    Any word from the Avalos camp? I expect they will say the arm injury affected his performance. I didn't give Avalos a round. I would have liked to see Carl use his jab a bit more, double jab etc, but that's about all he didn't do. Great performance.
