    Hydes not taking any baby steps hes building fighters not records!

    he genuinely wants to see them challanged which is really a breath of fresh air

    If every promoter was like that we'd live in a boxing paradise.

    It's a long drive up, about 3 hours, but it's worth it to see Andrew Murray back and the Irish title fight. I've never had the chance to see O' Hara, but I heard it was a very close fight against Hyland. Any news on who O' Hara is fighting yet?

    no its not clear who he is fighting...but he has sold a lot of tickets...so im sure there is nothing to worry about,and they will find someone for him to box...ohara is a very classy box-fighter, you will enjoy him

    thanks...im a big fan of your site cormac

    Agreed a points win for Haughian looks like the most likely outcome.

    HAUGIAN ON TITLE TRAIL THIS SATURDAY
    http://www.britishboxing.net/news_4270-Haughian-on-title-trail-this-Saturday.html

    CROWD PLEASERS
    http://www.irish-boxing.com/stories/february09/feb09_crowd_pleasers.html

    Podge, I have huge reservations about Gary Hydes next date for his Newcastle promotional venture. The 28th of february of course is going to be a busy night of boxing with Rogan boxing Skelton, along with the Olympians debuting on Sky or Setanta. Also Jon Thaxton defends his European title on ITV4 the very same night. So my point being Hyde might struggle to sell tickets for his show.
