    Hard working young lad.. Loads to learn but very game. Will need plenty of luck as he steps up through the levels. Would like to see him do well

    Dennis Hogan installed as WBC no 5 MW. Looks likely DDP are aiming for shot at
    Jermall Charlo.

    Hogan would be best boxing at light middle

    Any news of Jason quigley? That was a very disappointing performance against Johnson plus a bad beating too. It was his chance to shine and he flopped. Can he come back from that?

    It doesn't seem like ten years. Sad ending to a great life.

    Stephen Donnelly fighting in a prize fighter type tournament this Friday. Looking at the opposition he should win it comfortably.

    If true this is a fantastic publicity opportunity for Luke. That leaves only the small matter of dealing with the opponent. Anyone see Luke losing this? With McGregors awkward style and undoubted toughness it might turn out to be a dreadful spectacle to watch. A real messy tangle.

    If it were to go ahead I’m pumped already.

    Would be surprised if it happened tho, as there’s massive upside for Luke yet so much downside for Conor.

    Surely he knows his chances are slim against a seasoned middleweight pro on the fringes of world level?

    Or maybe his ego really is that big...

    I'm not so sure there is a massive downside for Conor. Even if he loses the ever gullible Irish public will probably see it as him having been taught a lesson and put in his place. He will then be forgiven for his recent misdeeds. Plus it's not even his sport anyway.
    But yeah for a guy so low key as Luke it's a fantastic PR opportunity!
    ( But the pressure will be on Luke, not Conor).

    Luke destroys McGregor in four rounds of brutality.

    Normally I wouldn't approve of brutality, but for McGregor I'll make an exception!! :)
