Dean Byrne

Great little fighter. Not much of a punch, but very quick. Had plenty of passionate fans and won the Aussie 140lbs title off Chris McCullen on McCullen's home turf.

 

I heard he wasn't exactly a model citizen whilst down here on whatever visa he was travelling on. Alas, Dept of Immigration refused further stay so he had to leave.

Not 100% sure on the accuracy of that but i think it's pretty close.

 

You would think that would of meant him being rejected from entering America :huh

 

I watched some of his 3rd or 4th pro fight live when he fought at the Cro Club in sydney I few years back..Admittedly I didnt see it all but he was dominant and had quick hands over a limited but consistently competitive opponent.

Anyone who dominates a fighter of Chris McCullen's skill level in his hometown must be pretty handy...Even Chris admitted he wasnt in that fight at all.
Pretty sure Dean was the guy I heard about who was sort after for his quality sparring.

 

Paul Griffin used to fight here...Havent heard much from him in a while, thought he went back to Ireland for a bit.

 

Ya he got knocked out in 3 rounds in an Irish Featherweight title fight by Patrick Hyland.

Rebel 08 it wasn't me that said it, but it's not the first time I've heard it either. Real shame :-(

 

Yeah i believe it was Podge that said it

Ive also heard it. Well atleast hes away from that crowd now and he can concentrate on his boxing

 

On the topic of irish fighters, I saw some old footage of Jimi Reynolds and he looked to have real promise, anyone know why he gave the game away relatively early?

 

Byrne

Good fighter

***** of a person. Had no one left to support him for a longer stay after he F@$%ed too many people over

 

Can anyone comment on some of the shenanigans he was involved in during his stay?
