Irish Boxing

Nice:thumbsup

 

:huh

 

I think Mccloskey would have more than a fair chance of dethroning Khan, regardless of who carries the power.:deal

 

no it doesnt ....cruz only faught a mandatory so he i expect he wont have t fight another one for a while

 

Because people get ahead of themselves and become presumptuous.
Many will reckon that Hyland will receive an IBF top 15 rank if he beats Herrera(for the IBF International title) but this is far from a guarantee as shown by Paul McCloskey(who won the same title at Light-Welterweight) and many other fighters who gained that belt and yet haven't gained an IBF ranking.

Not to say the IBF won't rank Pajo in the top 15(although it would be a bit of a gift of a ranking if they did), but it's very presumptuous to assume they will.
If he was to be ranked in the top 15 there would be a chance of Hyland getting a title shot as Cruz's team are trying to get as much money as they can from their man and are willing to travel for voluntary defences. Particularly to Europe where they feel they will get big money for easy fights.

However considering Lindsay is the only one of the two ranked by the IBF at the moment(at #6), he's the only one that is an option for Cruz at the moment.

 

Yeah Bigears cleared that up but thanks!

 

You can say what you like about Khan but he hasn't got much power, he throws flurries that overwhelm with not much on them. People presume Khan must have a decent punch. He looks great on the pads but I aint convinced of his power at all.

 

i agree with this khan seems to have speed but no power to trouble anyone on the world stage , kotelnick barely had a mark on him , and barrera also said he was feather fisted

 

To put it another way, I think Paul can hurt Khan more than Khan can hurt him. The shots that put Dean Harrsion down would ko Khan in a second. It would be harder for Mccloskey to get his shots off against Khan but I think he would outsmart Khan eventually with his unorthodox style and then get to him. Just my opinion though:good

 

just noticed appleby is fighting for the euro title i wonder why lindsay didnt go for this one?

 

spotted that today on the BBBofC website - I thought hhmmmmm! myself!

How does he get that gig? Hayemaker need to sort themselves out pronto!

Word has it that Haye fight Klitschko on Sept 12th (day of my wedding no less) and I am sure they a few of them will get a run out then

 

Do all the boys of the Irish thread have an invite to the big day:hey

 

Possibly Sexton v Rogan on the same night!!

Evening invites all round drive from Dublin, Belfast, Tipp for four hours drinkin wit me grandfather for four hours

 

Well if we're ending up in Tipp I'll cya there................:happy
