Can The Irish Lads Do It?

Casey wasnt the underdog going into the Hyland fight.

The chances of any winning is slim

 

McCloskey has the best chance, he'll have to be on top form and he'll have to unsettle Khan and hurt him but he's capable of doing it.

Casey was underdog for Prizefighter and he was underdog went he crossed the water to take on the unbeaten Canadian champion but this is probably a step too far. It's highly unlikely, but if he can somehow get on Rigo's nerve and tempt Rigo into a brawl he has a chance. The massive crowd will be 100% behind Casey and will be baying for blood so there's a slim chance he can use that to his advantage and you never know it might help him get away with little things like holding when it's advantageous and hitting on the break etc etc but all in all he has little more than a punchers chance but I hope I'm wrong.

Can't see Magee doing it, absolutely everything is stacked against him.

 

people go on about khans new iron chin, but he was hit by an exhausted maidana.

 

:deal

and maidainas power would have been sapped after the body shot in rd 1

 

If we have one world champion by next month I'll be delighted.

 

possibly McCloskey, but the other two have less of a chance.

 

I'd ****ing love it if Casey beat Rigo.

WAAAARRRRRRRR CAAAASSSSSEEEYYYY!!!!!!!!

 

:thumbsup

 

If they can, I get a nice 23 grand for charitee

 

post the article up biiiatch!

 

No.

 

THERE’S nothing better than beating the bookie - as racing fans will testify this week. Now we’re looking to hit them for over 23 grand.

Plenty of punters will hope to follow up Cheltenham by having a crack on the three Irish hopefuls going for world title glory over the next month.

Willie Casey, Brian Magee and Paul McCloskey will all be underdogs on the big night - but what if they won?

We have teamed up with Boylesports for a charity bet and if all three can pull off the upset, there is a whopping E23,240 to be made.

First, we stuck a E£100 treble on the nose - the payout would hit 19,500 yoyos if they lads pull off a spectacular hat-trick.

After that, we went for three E£30 doubles and the same amount in singles. Fingers crossed - the bonanza will go in part to Casey’s sponsor Bee For Battens with the rest going to the Irish Cancer Society.

BOYLESPORTS ODDS: March 19: Willie Casey 11-4 to beat Guillermo Rigondeaux, Brian Magee 7-1 to beat Lucian Bute, April 16: Paul McCloskey 11-2 to beat Amir Khan.

 

There's better odds out there even, I do feel bad about getting hopes up though and I guess the payout reflects the unlikelihood of the bet.

 

Interesting Kev. I've had £250 on a Rigo KO win for two weeks and stuck another £100 on it after hearing something this week.
