as for rock he was a mediocre boxer at best while carruth is a national icon and ***uth for a world title ..more the expert rock sometimes make me think that he knows a bit about boxing but not that much
Cant remember which fight it was but Dunne an Moloney were havin a bit of banter. Dunne said something and Moloney got smart with Dunne sayin something about him gettin knocked out by Martinez.
The panel when they first started with Steve Collins I liked a lot. Should of got Steve back in instead of Jim Rock. He was a boxing icon along with McCullough who the likes of Dunne , Lee and many more Irish fighters looked up to and respected and he new his stuff. I cant beleive that no one has taken a chance on Steve Collins.
Collins is going to be on the panel for prizefighter tonight aint he? Thats what they said on ringside a few weeks back.
Collins was off due to his incident where he gave a bouncer a hiding when he was not allowed into the VIP section. However, he was cleared in court and it was shown that the Latvian bouncer was aggressive and heavy handed.
Yeah we all know about that it was a shame that RTE didnt back Collins back then instead of getting rid of him.
Dowling knows his stuff about amateurs, but he doesn't have a bean about the pros. He doesn't even seem to like pro boxing, so I don't know why they have him on.
Exactly, it's a vital part of every RTE sports broadcast to have a wind up merchant on the panel. Dunphy does the football, Hook does the rugby and Dowling on the boxing.
