Irish Boxing

Healy was not please. I had it 96-95 Fitzgerald mainly because he won the first three rounds clearly. I thought he was going to slap Mickey Vann at one stage. By the way, Mickey Vann should be in dancing with the stars or something. He's some mover!

 

He was a bit disappointed to say the least

 

Quality night of boxing - I would have loved to have seen Conlon as well. Did you see the Conlan fight BamBam?

 

Ciaran deserves a rematch at the very least.

Fitzy showed the true level of his ability

 

"ah ****" from healy was funny also. All the title fights looked like good shows :good

 

No didn't see Conlon. Saw Willie Casey get a premature stoppage against some Venezuelan. He pinged him with a few good shots and the ref jumped in. Bit soft to be honest.

Only saw Fitz - Healy, Barrett - Kenna, Casey - Foreign Lad and ***an - Murray

 

I agree. Gotta love Healy - he has the heart of a lion and from what I saw of the fight on tv he was at least level with his opponent. Great wee scrap.

 

Was that Irving he reffed the Casey fight?

 

these irish title fights are a good idea... it beats our boys fighing latvian nobodies

 

Healy who took the fight on short notice looked the fitter of the two.If he had any power at all he would have stopped Fitz in the later rounds, i would like to see a rematch.

I have never rated Murray but tonight he seemed to put on a very good performance.Where does he go from here, can he win a european title?

 

No the rotund fella that did the Barrett - Kenna fight was the ref. He couldn't stop it quick enough

 

paul mccullough...west belfast man like myself

 

Saw Conlon was in against some wirey fella from Bulgaria or something.. Not a bad fight at all was quite impressed by Conlon in a competitive fight your man wasnt bad threw a loda punches and plenty of movement.

That was some punch Kenna caught Barrett and I couldnt believe he survived that round couldve been different if Kenna wasnt heavily pregnant.. Also I was sat beside a load of "Coley" fans and nearly jumped outta my skin when he KD'd him!

Fitz was a lucky boy! Healy pushed the fight the whole way, landing the cleaner punches and those first few rounds won Fitz the fight just about.

What did you think of Acosta?? Although it was a step up in class I didnt see how great he was I think he kinda slaps with his right..? But a very smart fighter indeeed!

Was screaming for Oisin but by the 2nd knew the ref would end up stopping it coz we all know Oisin wasnt gonna stop. He truley got beat the **** up and I was freaked but the size difference was just too much. Impressed by Murray having seen his last fight against that Ecuadorian lad, Boone or something? where he looked terrible. He should stay at LW!

What you think of Hyland?? Thought he was terrible took way too many punches, Coveney was a little terrier kept on coming and if he had any power whatsoever could really have had Pajo in trouble. Nice KO in the end though!:bbb

 

bone :good

 

Watched Hyland back there. He actually looked pretty poor. I'm not buying the waffle about Coveney being too small. Or switching stance or biding his time. He was poor and hit too often. And he was behind on the card when he pulled out a KO win against a very, very, very modest opponent. I'd give the performance 3/10 and only that because the KO was a good shot

I thought Healy was great. Great guts. I'd like to see him rematch Fitzgerald with a full camp behind him. He'll win it I reckon
