    Agreed. Grainne Walsh was something else!

    That's a very classy post bk99. I disagree with you about korobov/Andy ....ironically you pretty much nailed it as to exactly why Andy is a nearly man, with a summary of the highlights of his career! .but since Andy is just retired I'm not gonna harp on about him. It would be tasteless to do it at this time. Keep posting. :)

    I agree great to watch she would make a great pro,
    All the fights were good and the boxers so young, Broadhurst,Sheehy,Molloy,Nevin,McKeever and McGinty ALL under 20,Tremendous potential there

    So going by the messages here for the last 4 years the fella stopping RTE showing boxing is gone, so now hopefully we will see a cavalcade of boxing on our screens....wont hold my breath mind,

    Sean Turner should focus on the British domestic scene.... I don't want to see him used as a heavy bag for prospects. There's good money in that if you go about it in the right way.

    What's your idea of the "right way" to go about it though?
    And if a fella can't even be bothered to get himself fit....surely the most basic of the basic....page-one stuff for any sportsman surely.....then is there any point in him continuing at all?

    See mid-late 2000s-start of the decade British domestic scene Harrison, Sprott, Sexton, Williams, Skelton, McDermott etc. I believe once the prospects have moved on to European or world level the British title scene will become like it was during that period.

    It'll be interesting to see what he does. If he goes pro it's hard to see how it'll work out for him. Discipline would be a major issue I reckon. Also, if he's thinking of the domestic scene I wouldn't see him being a big ticket seller as he hasn't exactly endeared himself to the public.

    Supremely talented boxer but obviously has a very tainted reputation now.

    What do you think he should/will do?

    I wouldnt think the future is too bright for OReilly. He makes John Joe Nevin look like a beacon of sense and stability.....!!
    Perhaps he could link up with Andy Lee. Andy is supposedly a traveller too, boxer in same weightclass, respected figure, wise old dog for the hard road - steady hand at the helm etc..and god knows O'Reilly needs a lot of help, not just with his boxing career - with his life. Would Andy be up it? Can OReilly be saved? Is he even worth saving? Dunno.....

    The draw is being made at weigh in, Bernard Roe is out hand injury, Belusky and Jj Mcdonagh in. I’m picking Roy Sheehan to win it. Did 6 rounds with him last week. He’s punching very hard and is sharp
