    That's correct shamrock,Friday, RTE2 9pm Irish time. I'm uncertain what time that would be "down yonder". But I hope you can find the time to watch the finals with us.

    Cheers mate, I was at the semi finals last week. It was a brilliant couple of nights of boxing. The finals this year look like one of the best in recent times. There so many good finals, I dont know were to begin. But the highlight must be Egan v McCarthy.:hi:

    Enjoy your night friend.

    Shall do. I talked to Egan yesterday and he said:

    “I’m looking forward to getting in there with Tommy McCarthy. He’s had a lot to say over the last few weeks which I feel is a little bit disrespectful but that’s how he is, that’s his manner.

    “He’s shooting his mouth off but that’s just the way he’s always been, it’s not just because he’s boxing me. I’ve known him a number of years and that’s just him

    “But I’m the senior champion, he has to come and take the title off me. I’m just going to get in there and do what I do. I’m in great shape, I’m on the weight, I’m ready to go.

    “I went to it and had a look. (McCarthy's semi-final) I wasn’t overly impressed by the bout, he done a lot of slapping and things like that but it’s all on the night, I’m gonna bring my A game.

    "I don’t know what game he’s gonna bring, but I don’t think it’s gonna be enough.”

    The big fella is confident anyway
