HYLANDS, HERERRA READY TO LOCK HORNS IN DOUBLE
http://www.independent.ie/sport/oth...rs-ready-to-lock-horns-in-double-1791555.html

 

both are good pieces,

 

are Pat and Tomas Myler anything to each other?

 

I dont know?

 

their brothers

 

so the hylands are on setanta....the monday after there fight....magic...a trip to dublin is possible.. but unlikely so it will be good to view the card

 

Promotors and boxing politics eh?

 

I hate to be pedantic but little inaccuracies annoy me and Hevinson Herrera didn't lose to Cyril Thomas on points, he was stopped in 10 rounds.

It is very good news that they're trying to get Sean Hughes as Paulie Hyland's opponent though. Hughes has proven himself to not quite cut it at British title level but he's been good enough to beat Esham Pickering recently, was clearly beating Billy Corcoran over 8 rounds until he was stopped prematurely with 2 minutes to go and fight a completely even fight(with him losing by a point) to a better version of Marc Callaghan than what Paulie faced last year.

But while Callaghan has been slipping since his fight with Hughes, Hughes has been improving and although he was still shown up in his rematch with Pickering(where it looked like he'd stop Pickering early) and his fight with Booth(where he was outclassed and outboxed throughout), he'd probably be the 2nd toughest test out Paulie's career after Gonzalez. At least on paper anyway.

Sean Hughes is ranked #6 by the EBU at Bantamweight, Paulie is ranked #7 by the EBU at Super-Bantamweight. So in that regard it would be progress in Paulie's career also.

 

ok lads James Moore has been officially offered a shot against Sinky on the Rogan/Sexton undercard in september.

Just found out now James doesnt even know about it yet!

 

that settles it, if the rogie rematch is in belfast then i'm definitely going again

 

Interesting info paddy. I take it Duddy is out of the picture now. Can Moore beat Sinclair, I think its a 50-50 fight, totally unsure.Before the Sinclair-Coyle fight I would have heavily tipped Moore, but now Im not so sure.:deal

 

how did paulie lose to gonzalez? had he a bad night or is gonzalez decent enough?
