I'd say Barnes should take his one. O'Kane has a huge task with Ogogo but he has shown good form going in to it but i'd lean towards Ogogo at the minute. I haven't seen Vallily so i'll leave that out. Gallagher & Smith is a toss up as well. The first two rounds of Gallaghers fights have been great for him but unfortunately the body shots don't get counted if they did i would lean towards him. Smith's guard is tight up top as well every punch he threw the other day he went back into the guard without giving a counter a chance and the guy (Think he was from the Bahamas) had very very quick hands. McCarthy Vs Johnson could be a cracking one both have looked really good so far. England - 3 Gold Northen Ireland - 4 Gold Scotland - 0 Gold Wales - 1 Gold
Ok cheers, my revised predictions are: N Ireland 5 Golds (including O'Kane to brutally KO Ogogo) Scotland 1 Golds Wales 1 Gold England 0 Golds :yep

This is all irrelevant. My main point is that you are a **** for making it a nationalistic matter... Case closed.
Thats not my problem with rob. My problem is the assumptions that he makes and the ****ishness of his behaviour.... Can you not tell he was a **** from his first reply to me in this thread? Do you not think that is the mark of a *****?? I was simply giving my honest appraisal of the fights tomorrow and that ***** jumps down my throat....
whats the crack with paddy barnes then? rep of ireland in the lympics, norn iron in the commonwealths...not that i care really, id like to see a united ireland
Northern Ireland have done remarkably well. Credit to their coaches because as Richie Woodhall has pointed out, they bring good strategy. They seem to have understood how to work the scoring system, by keeping a high guard, letting the opponents hit arms and gloves.
I thought both them and the english team have done great sussing out the Ams scoring. Barring the few exceptions eg. McCarthy they all have the solid defence and just get their own off in bursts as they will score at least one punch in a combination. Ogogo works these tactics well him and O'Kane could be a cracking fight
