He has to be very busy if he wants to make something out of it.
8 fights a year or something...

 

Good luck to him.

 

No chance.

I guess it's better late than never but he'll spend his first year fighting cans and by that time he'll already be 40/41.

 

seems crazy to not give it a go when he was younger...

 

did u refer to yourself in the 3rd person in that article?

Seems to be the case that heavies can go on much longer these days, when I was 18 Tyson was heavyweight champion at 20, I thought it was pointless even going to a boxing gym even though I had the goods. Starting at 18/19 would have been okay in retrospect.

 

I'm 20 and started at 18. Had 4 won 3. I'm not saying I personaly will win anything but it isn't impossiable. Anyway, good luck to this guy, with that expierience he should go straight into 8 rounders and be fighting 10 rounders within 1 year. If he has 8-10 a year he could be 16-0 next year then challenge for stuff.

 

his main goal is to win the irish title so its a possibility

 

Hope he does well.
