This content is protected Casey and Hyland produced a memorable war By Steve Wellings Behind every good fighter is a good trainer. It sounds like an old an adage, but it rang true on November 6 when two rivals plotted the downfall of their opposite numbers during the Willie Casey-Paul Hyland European title fight in Limerick. As it happens, Phil Sutcliffe manoeuvred his charge Casey to success, leaving Paddy Hyland (trainer of Paul) wondering what might have been had his son stuck to the carefully arranged script. Both men had plenty to say at the post-fight press conference. Paulie got a bit of success and ran away with himself, forgetting the game plan, rued Hyland. We all know how strong Willie is, how much preparation he had done and after some success in the second-round Paul fought the wrong contest from the third onwards. We allowed Willie to do what he does best but if you turned the clock back a few shots then the fight might not have been stopped. Willies physique was impressive and he pushed the boat out, going in like a champion and coming out with the European title, all respect to him. read more at http://www.undisputedfightmag.com/2010/11/22/behind-every-good-fighter/ (really good piece btw)
