Irish Boxing

Now now BJ...you weren't very kind to Kavanagh in your previous post, were you.
(I agree with you by the way, he probably isn't good enough).
But when I say something similar about Andy Lee....

And what's all this about his father being"brutally murdered"...as opposed to what? "Gently murdered?"...." Tenderly bumped off?"

 

Hardly a laughing matter len

 

I suppose it isn't, you're probably right Marty. Murder is always brutal.
My point being that BJ was slightly misrepresenting Jamie's dads demise though, isn't he? It's not as if he was a postman doing his rounds gunned down in cold blood.
Whats That they say?.."Live by the sword, die by the sword".....etc etc

 

No doubt Andy has improved technically under Booth,although well down against Korobov there wasn't one round that Korobov dominated,all the first 5 rounds were cagey and nothing at all between the two,Korobov is up there with Quillin take into account that Quillin ducked korobov and the belt and him being idle for the bones of a year and it has the makings of a *******,mightn't be a super spectacle for the neutral but with Andys power it could well be his best fight ever.

 

I agree Andy v Quillin will be a good fight for sure.
Win lose or draw it won't be boring.
Totally agree about the scoring in the Korobov fight.
I'm not too convinced just yet about the so-called " improvements" under Adam Booth. Ok he showed signs of improvement against Korobov, but one swallow doesn't make a summer, as they say. I'd have to see Andy perform well in a few more fights before I would give too much credit to Adam Booth. In Andys previous fights since he went with Booth if anything he had gone backwards since his days with Steward. (Horta, Fitz, Jackson..). Hopefully he has made the necessary adjustments a bit better by now, but we only have that one fight against the very very unproven Korobov to go on. Let's not be too quick to give Adam Booth too much credit. I'm actually surprised at people praising Booths training so much. I actually thought he made Andy worse, at least until the Korobov fight, and maybe Korobov just suited Andy and made Andy look good. Korobov was big and strong, but he was slow with a low workrate, which suits Andy. A busy brawler who gets stuck in might still rattle Andy, badly,we don't know if he has learned to cope with this.

 

tyrone mccullough is turning pro in england shortly.... any1 know whos managing him.... do u guys think he has the style to make it as a successful pro:good:good

 

All the same, that's enough.

 

i watched him in the ulsters a couple times...a guy with a german name from west belfast beat him [ cant remember his nameatsch] but it was close.. thanks 4 ur input:good

 

Is it Ryan Lindberg you mean Fra???

 

McCullagh an excellent prospect. Can hang with the best of them. Not the most exciting fighter, mind, but remains to be seen when he's sitting down on shots instead of punching in the amateur style.

 

yes thats him... lindberg must have retired... i think he was a national champion one year:good

 

ryan burnett is fiting on box nation on friday nite:happy:happy:good
