    It was ages ago that Garcia V's Campillo match was being talked about, then Garcia disappeared and Campillo is now ranked by Ring. Funny how these things happen.

    I reckon they should move to somewhere like Germany or America anyways. They are getting no fights in Ireland and their careers are being stalled to often.

    No boxer who wants to really make something of their career should base themselves in Ireland. It's sad but true.

    Yeah their is not enough pro cards, high quality trainers or enough different promoters to have a good boxer base his career here undortunately. Its a great place to come up as an amateur or maybe have your start of your career here but in the long term its a bad idea.

    Still managed horribly and obviously not taking it seriously themselves.

    Garcia signed with Di Bella but Di Bella was critical of his US debut.
    I think Di Bella feels they Garcia is not fan friendly and therefore is in no rush to put him out.
