Irish Boxing

No and the fact that I've eaten a Curly Wurly today doesn't preclude me from walking on the moon but it doesn't make it likely either.

Martinez has shown a good chin so far. There is nothing to suggest he'll wilt within 5 rounds. I'd love it if he did but to predict Carlos knocking him out in 5 is madness.

Martinez has gone the distance with the current IBF world champion ffs!

 

just watched Khan vs Kindelan from the olympics on espn classic. Kindelan landed a fookin perfect shot to Khans body and no point given. I know body shots are rarely scored but this one couldnt have been any sweeter. Amateur scoring amazes me sometimes

 

jesus christ did i imagine it or was that fella just taking body shots for fun?? His ribs must be made of steel!!
Where is he from? and do you have any idea of what his amateur record was like?

 

just back from cobra show in ringside club great fights after a 4 year absence Aodh Carlyle beat Ciaran Bates 3rd round stoppage Karl Brabizon never turned up to fight Nial Murray but the the of the fights were top notch :

 

Watch this crap from boxingnews24,


Prescott-McCloskey: The slaughter in Belfast
July 27th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: If I was Amir Khan I’d make sure I’m traveling on September 10th, because his former conqueror Breidis Prescott (24-2, 19 KO’s) is going to be battling Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KO’s) in a WBA light welterweight title eliminator bout at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast, Northern Ireland.


I expect Prescott to totally destroy McCloskey in three or four rounds at best. Prescott is going to be the new star in the light welterweight division, and it’s a good thing that Khan is about to bail for the welterweight division. I love the timing. It reminds me a lot of how David Haye skedaddled away from the cruiserweight division when Marco Huck and Tomasz Adamek were starting to make names for themselves. Prescott obliterated Khan in one round in 2008, and Khan has wanted no part of him since.
You got to like McCloskey. He’s a basic fighter with no hand speed or power, but he’s good at making fighters miss. But he has no chance against Prescott, because he’s going to be speared with jabs all night long and blasted with hooks to the head. McCloskey is going to try dodge everything that Prescott throws in this fight, and it’s hopeless. He can’t do it, and he certainly won’t be able to get away from Prescott’s powerful jabs.

I expect McCloskey to make Prescott miss with a fair amount of his shots, but he knows what McCloskey’s about after watching his pathetic performance against Khan where McCloskey did little but try to dodge shots all night long. The way you beat a defensive fighter McCloskey is to jab them in the head or body, and that’s exactly what Prescott is going to do.

It’s going to be a brutal beating of the first order. I just hope the Irish fans take it in stride and don’t lost it and start showering the ring with trash when their fighter loses.

 

y do you read that shite everything on its a wind up like

 

I was about to say that result was extremely impressive for Carlyle, but then again wouldn't carlyle be a good bit heavier than him?
Bates is probably limited in that he won't beat Donovan or DOJ but I don't think that either would score a stoppage over him. There always seems to be about 10 points of a difference when he loses to joyce or donovan.
I wonder could carlyle make 60kg? if so you'd imagine he might have a big say in the box-offs

 

Its like that mag the weekly world news .

Its complete and utter shite i think Slap said last wk all they want is to generate hits and get paid from any advertising on their website.

 

Jesus I didn't know Carlyle was fighting again I thought he packed it in when he got married,so is he back full time?

 

this webtite ya mean aswell

 

Scott Gil.....
Ya that writer is there to just wind up people and goes against whatever happens.
Says that Dirrel and Degale are the best thing ever and haven't loss and says a fighter looks ripped etc... when they lose says they were weight drain etc...

 

they both weighed in on the night Bates was 64kg Carlyle was 65kg the fight was stopped on a cut eye but all judges had Carlyle ahead great win after such a long layoff :happy

 

Bloody nice stuff what weight category is he? Has he much experience?

 

Still waiting on a running order from Costa Rican TV. The start time should get confirmed later today.

 

Coverage of Magee fight will start at 4.30am in the early hours of Sunday morning
