That's a big step up for McCloskey, Witter is World Class on his day and a win for Paul would be a great achievement and surely launch him onto the World stage. I thought he would beat Branco all right but Witter is going to be tough, Really hope he pulls it off.
I just have a feeling that McCloskey will do him. If he does a really intensive training camp then he'll get the job done. The step up in class requires a step up in preparation. I'm sure he's prepared to put in the extra hard work. A win against Witter fires him into the big time. I'd love to see him do it and it is more than achievable. He has what it takes to beat Witter. That said, if he under prepares, underestimates or just generally doesn't come it primed and ready to go he could end up losing comprehensively. I'd agree with prior opinion that Appleby probably has a bit too much for Lindsay but you never know. It's not about the dog in the fight sometimes its about the fight in the dog and he showed he has plenty of fight coming back and sparking Matthews. As for Rogie, you just never know with the big lad. He's capable of anything. Being favourite doesn't suit him but he should get the job done here
Three interesting contests to look forward to all the same. Home advantage for our fighters has to be a big plus, and Appleby being only 21 will never have experienced the partisan atmosphere he will encounter in Belfast.:deal
yeah i hear that witters promoter henessey is even looking 2 the kings hall as the venue...witters team must be very confident of beating mccloskey if there willimg 2 travel 2 belfast:good
its prob cos he knows he can make a good load of cash witter being a dour bore and the fact its not for a title and mccloskey is bit unknown makes sense to have it in belfast. love to see paul beat him. hes always annoyed me for some reason mostly for his chat with hatton
its 4 the vacant euro title...this fight if it comes off...and it looks likely will b the second biggest fight this year involving an irish boxer:good
I wouldnt know anything about im sure if you pressure SBW or BAMBAM enough they will fold like a cheap vietnamese hooker! what i do know is that current british and irish middleweight champion Matthew Macklin will be on the grind this week
you forgot to say who has just been punched in the stomach! as for the title fight, tell us you pair of bollocks. in fairness tho there cant be that many realistic possibilities
After an impressive win against, an ageing but dangerous Eamon Magee, Healy is being lined up to fight the winner of PacMan - Hatton
I had thought about that, but I assumed that they would have told us before the 2nd if they were feckin about. I'd say it was a load of rubbish, but they were right about Cordoba!!!!
