Corcoran and Selkirk are headlining the show at the stadium. Strange choice, was hoping for a big meaningful fight for an Irish fighter
In fairness Corcoran is an Irish Traveller, sounds exactly like Andy Lee, hope he gets the full support of the crowd. I also would wonder whether it will actually be the headliner or will the biggest fight involving an MGM fighter be the actual main event? They may just have it down as the headliner so that in all the ads on Boxnation they can call the show 'Clash of the Clans: Corcoran-Selkirk' or something like that - it is an English-dominated viewership they've to appeal to after all. With 'Second Coming' it was Jamie Cox as the official headliner but he fought early enough and McDonagh-Byrne was the actual headliner.
I'd hardly compare Corcoran with Lee and can't imaganine the Dublin crowd being bothered about his Irish creditals, but yes I hope this so called main event is a boxnation subterfuge so to give the bill an English element to a mainly British audience and better Irish matches will be made
Yup, from the boxers involved or here: https://secure.tickets.ie/Listing/E...-boxing-the-national-stadium-06-February-2016
Big Con Sheen making debut 19th January. Looking at his shape he appears athletic. I predict a great start to hus pro career.
Really looking forward to this show. Corcoran v Selkirk has the potential to be a great fight and plenty of our current crop of Irish boxers on the card - hopefully a few decent opponents will be lined up too.
Irish-boxing website are reporting him as being exactly 6'5.5 and weighing 220 lbs which is impressive. That means Hunter wants him to have some speed which should bring the power and fitness. Looking forward to this.
Was just thinking what Viril Hunter would have done with Sean Turner if he got his hands on him. Probably have him at cruiser by now!
