    I need to see more of Jiro I guess. Seen two of his ( against fellow southpaws) and he kind of hurts the eyes.

    Clones, Republic of Ireland and even if he was from Northern Ireland it's part of the UK not Great Britain.

    Nah, Great Britain is Wales, Scotland and England. The UK is the Wales, Scotland and England, as well as Northern Ireland.

    McGuigan is from The Republic of Ireland anyway, so it's not the UK or GB.
